The Conejo Improv Players will debut a never-before seen improv event -- a one-act, improvised Agatha-Christie-style murder mystery at its shows on November 4, 2017.

Presented by the Claremont Dramatic Society, the classic Agatha Christie murder mystery THE UNEXPECTED GUEST is currently on stage at The Masque Theatre in Muizenberg. This mysterious whodunnit comes to life under the direction of local favourite, Lynn Moss, who recently directed ABIGAIL'S PARTY for The Masque Theatre Players.

Actress Fenella Woolgar's work ranges from Handbagged and Circle Mirror Transformation to Home Fires and Doctor Who. She's currently starring in the stage adaptation of Patrick Hamilton's The Slaves of Solitude, about a boarding house in 1943 Henley-on-Thames, where Miss Roach, who endures daily torment from a fellow occupant, becomes involved with an American serviceman. The play is now in previews at Hampstead Theatre.

With her most famous play, The Mousetrap, celebrating its 65th anniversary in London's West End, it only seems right for another of Agatha Christie's stage works to be brought back for a limited run.

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.
