Civil War whodunit opens 2/19 in Richmond

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

Come out and join us for our new show in Richmond. It’s a Civil War murder mystery that’s a whodunit of a good time!

Frankly Scarlett, You’re Dead!
An amusing antebellum murder mystery.
February 19 – June 12, 2010

melodybrettWelcome to Sassafras, the ancestral plantation home of the Simpson family. Colonel Simpson has asked you here tonight to celebrate the upcoming marriages of his daughters, Scarlett and Melody. The Colonel is delighted about the impending nuptials, and will be even happier when he actually finds two young men willing to marry the girls. After all, eligible young men are scarce these days. War is looming on the horizon, and Yankee spies are everywhere. The only single gentlemen around seem to be the Pinkney boys, and let’s face it, they are a bit odd. And we can’t forget Brett Rutgers, a gambler of vague origins, and questionable repute. These gentlemen may not be a perfect match for the girls, but, in these trying times, who can wait for perfect. So sit back, enjoy the party, and keep your eyes open for stray bullets and Yankee spies!
