During the first half of November, Pioneer Memorial Theater presents an adapted play originally written by Mark Twain, called Is He Dead?

 

Millet is a brilliant but impoverished painter, and he’s a man with a singular problem. His problem is that no one will pay good money for his paintings while he’s still alive. During the play, his friends persuade him that the secret to success lies in convincing the world he’s dead. Millet devices a scheme which could make him rich, famous, and able to marry the girl of his dreams—if only he didn’t have to be a corpse to do it!
