Theatre Threats Traced to Production's Own Musical Director, Police Say

Anonymous threatening texts that led Essex Community Players to cancel its Rocky Horror Show were traced to the production’s musical director, Kenneth Grenier, who admitted creating a self-sent account to justify stepping away from the show due to tensions with the cast. He received a misdemeanor citation for false reports, and the case is being handled by the Chittenden County Community Justice Center. The troupe plans a new show in October: Crime and Punishment, A Comedy.
