The Opelika Theatre Company will be presenting “I Buried an Idol,” a murder mystery based off of FOX’s longtime running musical talent show “American Idol.”
Competition judges will include Randy Hackson, Smalla I’mCool and Cryin’ Towell, as well as host Brian Beeznest.
During the show, the judges will be holding a competition to find the next big thing in music, but sometimes these contests can get heated, resulting in “murder.”
Niffer’s at the Tracks, Irish Bred Pub and Southside Center for the Arts are the troupe’s contributing partners.
