It’s the first time the community group has performed on its stage since George Zinkhan shot and killed his wife Marie Bruce and fellow theater members Tom Tanner and Ben Teague while they were attending a reunion outside the theater.
Police launched a nationwide manhunt for Zinkhan after the April 25 shootings. His body was found two weeks later in a shallow grave he had dug for himself in the woods near his home. He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
