While The Lights Were Out

A thunderstorm! The lights go out! An agonized voice! A pistol shot! The lights come up! A blonde in black lace stands over the dead man holding a bloody dagger! The detective examines the body and announces, “He’s been strangled!” This is but the opening of one of the most astounding and hilarious murder mysteries ever staged. Every clue is a lulu and the plot twists furiously. The final solution involves the most bizarre motive ever conceived. The delightful evening of mayhem gallops madly about the stage and will leave you breathless with surprise and laughter. The mystery is top-notch, the characters marvelous, and the comedy explosive!

My first time here. I really enjoyed myself. We laughed so hard. Chelsee had me cracking up when she said, “you never liked me.” Lol. Can’t wait to come to the next performance. Everyone was so very sweet.
