The ‘cutting edge’ comedy, Shear Madness is written by Paul Pörtner and adapted by Bruce Jordan & Marilyn Abrams. Set in a present-day local hair salon and updated daily with the latest news and gossip, this hilarious whodunnit mystery is never the same show twice. Audiences are invited to chime in about the zany cast of suspects—from the flamboyant salon owner to the snobby socialite—and see if they can spot the killer before they make a “clean cut” escape. It’s the party of the season, where the audience always gets the last word!
