Way Off Broadway Concludes Mysteries Series with A HOLIDAY WHO DUNNIT?  Image

The Way Off Broadway Dinner Theatre, the Frederick area's only year-round producing theatre, is not only known for its Broadway-style Mainstage productions and one-of-a-kind Children's Theatre, but also for its interactive murder mysteries. Marquee Mysteries launched in 2005 with A Rock-n-Roll Golden Oldies Mystery. So popular was the show, that thirteen more interactive mysteries have appeared at Way Off Broadway since, while even more are now produced outside of the theatre, including regularly on the Walkersville Southern Railroad and soon at Inn Boonsboro.

For the 2017 Season, Way Off Broadway's producers announced a full Marquee Mysteries Series, which kicked off in March with Murder by Marriage. The final mystery in the series will be A Holiday Who DUnnit? on Friday, November 3rd and Saturday, November 4th.

No one can argue with the fact that the holidays are an extremely stressful time of the year. So when one of the most famous holiday characters is "put on ice," it's up to the audience to help figure out who's been naughty and who's been nice. And everyone is a suspect.

A Holiday Who Dunnit? is based on characters created and developed by Justin M. Kiska, who is overseeing the production and has written all of the theatre's mysteries since 2005.

Detective stories and mysteries have been a part of entertainment culture for as long as anyone can remember. From the days of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie to the modern television crime shows of today, everyone loves a good mystery. Everyone thinks they can be the next Sherlock Holmes. At Way Off Broadway, they have that chance!

On Friday evening, November 3rd and Saturday evening, November 4th, doors open and seating begins at 6:30 p.m. All tickets for A Holiday Who DUnnit? are $43 per person and can be purchased by visiting the theatre or calling the Box Office at 301.662.6600.
