Dessert Theatre: "The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940"
Uncover the intrigue and mystery of this comedy classic while enjoying a delicious dessert all in a family-friendly experience. Gather some 1940s show-biz types, a spooky old mansion with sliding panels, secret passageways, a sinister German maid, wacky wit and murder, and voila! A non-stop barrage of laughter as those assembled (or at least those who aren’t killed off) untangle the mystery of the “Stage Door Slasher”. This side-splitting comedy has become an instant favorite of our theatre.
Christ Wesleyan Theatre Productions is one of Susquehanna Valley’s finest opportunities to affordably enjoy the Arts.
PLOT SUMMARY:
The creative team responsible for a recent Broadway flop (in which three chorus girls were murdered by the mysterious “Stage Door Slasher”) assemble for a backer’s audition of their new show at the Westchester estate of a wealthy lover of the Arts. The house is replete with sliding panels, secret passageways and a sinister German maid–all of which figure diabolically in the hilarious mayhem that follows when the infamous “slasher” makes his reappearance and strikes again.
PERFORMANCES:
Thursday, June 14 at 7:00pm
Friday, June 15 at 7:00pm
Saturday, June 16 at 2:00pm
TICKETS:
This show is a DESSERT THEATRE experience different from our past plays which included a full meal. Your ticket includes a reserved table seat, your choice from a variety of cheesecakes or fresh fruit (gluten-free), coffee, hot tea, and, of course, the performance. There is a brief intermission with the added fun of trying to solve the case with your table group. You may even win a prize!
Tickets are available at www.cwc.life or CWC's Well Read Bookstore: $25/adults and $20/kids. Tickets must be purchased in advance by WEDNESDAY, MAY 30. All seating is reserved.
