    The cast is lead by Andrea Wright (Delcita), Michael Nicholson (Milton), Trudy Bell (Melcita), Belinda Reid (Mildred), Stede Flash (Stamma) and Donald Thompson (Mr. Sharp). As Stages continues its tradition of telling a powerful story in an entertaining manner, “Ova Mi Dead Body” clocks in as being among the best that Stages Productions has produced to date. $35.
