Amana - It' s back by overwhelming popular demand! The Old Creamery' s production of Marriage Can Be Murder is returning to the Ox Yoke Inn, Amana after all performances were sold out last February.

This is a wedding you' ll not forget. A flirty bridesmaid who has a thing for the groom, an over-the-top wedding planner, a spoiled rotten bride and an unsolved murder would spell disaster for any other wedding.

Marriage Can Be Murder, by James Daab returns to the Ox Yoke Inn for only four performances: July 6, 7, 13 and 14. The cast consists of Old Creamery regulars Kamille Zbanek of Ely; T.J. Besler of Manchester; Tom Milligan and Deborah Kennedy of East Amana; Jackie McCall and Sean McCall of Marengo; and Nicholas Hodge of Marion.
