Buy tickets • Read audience comments
A titillating talk show murder mystery.
March 15 – June 22, 2013
Join talk show host, Gabby Esperanto’s studio audience and sample master chef, Julienne Kidd’s famous culinary dishes! You’ll also meet Joe, the barber and get the latest tips on hair grooming. There’s even Leroy, the station janitor (who bears a striking resemblance to Elvis) who’ll belt out a tune for you! But Gabby’s ratings are slipping and she’s mysteriously murdered by… well, that’s for you to figure out!
Frankly Scarlett, You’re Dead
Buy tickets • Read audience comments
An amusing antebellum murder mystery.
June 28 – October 12, 2013
Welcome 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!
