Join Shoals Community Theatre for their production of In The Heat of the Night presented by The Zodiac Players.
It's 1962 in the small town of Argo, Alabama. A dead white man is discovered and the local police arrest a black stranger named Virgil Tibbs. The police discover that their prime suspect, in fact, is a homicide detective from California. Tibbs becomes the community's single hope in solving a brutal murder that is turning up no witnesses, no motives, and no clues.
