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.

Thursday, June 14 at 7:00pm
