What exactly is happening in Happening? After a series of gruesome murders shocks the small town of Happening, the media dubs the serial killer “The Mortician” due to the macabre way he dispatches his victims. Hot on his trail is the sergeant, who comes knocking on the door of a sculptor’s studio whose sitting model may hold the biggest secret of all. The farcical investigation is staged by Rising Sun Theatre.
