The stage opens with a creepy, most disturbing scene. 

Three dead girls making sense of what led to their demise, while nearby, their killer gleefully recaps how he manipulated and trapped them.

By all accounts, it’s a departure from Allen Community College Theatre fare.

ACC student-director Mariah Stackhouse, a fan of true-crime podcasts, said she chose the play “Fugue,” for its movement and creative lighting.

The play is by Laura Elizabeth Miller and is one of two student-directed one-act plays featured at 7:30 tonight through Saturday at the ACC Theatre stage.
