Known most notably for his Off Broadway musical sensation, I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change, and the comedy about family relations, Over the River and Through the Woods, DiPietro is one of America's most prolific playwrights with new productions of his work popping up all over the country. At the time of his visit, DiPietro will have three plays in production in Fort Myers.

Winner of the Edgar Award for Best Mystery Play, Art of Murder plunges audiences into the art world, exposing some of its most dangerous and grasping personalities. It tells the story of a world-renowned & eccentric artist, Jack Brooks, and his devious plot to murder his flamboyant art dealer, Vincent.

'I love a good murder mystery, like Sleuth or Deathtrap, ' said Producing Artistic Director, and Art of Murder director, Robert Cacioppo, 'but once you know the ending, the thrill is gone. This production of Art of Murder is only the second in the country, so I assure you, I am the only one who knows how it ends. You are in for a real treat.'

Beginning January 9th, the new year is the best time to see live theatre in Fort Myers with a captivating Irish drama, a laugh-out-loud comedy, a brand-new murder mystery, a touching comedy about eighty-somethings in love and the hilarious story of England's favorite housewife.

Mary Cleere Haran will perform Lullaby of Broadway: The Harry Warren Songbook at Feinstein's at the Regency from October 25th through November 5th
