"Murder On The Titanic" was written by Desirae Jenks of the Thomas Road Players. She is 16 and a very good writer. She also directed the play. She has been forming scenarios in her head about the sinking of the titanic since the 2nd grade. The Beck children were introduced to the Thomas Road Players through Desirae; they have been in the group for about 1 year now. The play was a fantastic performance by all of the players. The Beck children all had fun acting in this play.
