As the magic of the holidays drifts away, the lights are taken down and people settle in to the muted grays of January, having something fun, distracting, and entertaining to keep your mind off the cold weather and the dreary days can be a real find. Good news - MURDER FOR TWO, Playhouse on Park's current production, is just what the doctor ordered to fight the winter blahs. It is a funny, fast-paced, murder mystery with a few twists, and it starts 2019 off with a (literal) bang.
After a string of sold-out shows in Murder For Two's opening week, Playhouse on Park has added two additional performances to its calendar. The added shows are Saturday matinees at 2pm, on January 26 and February 2, respectively. Murder for Two is an uproariously funny musical murder mystery with a twist: one actor investigates the crime, the other plays all of the suspects - and they both do this while playing the piano! A zany blend of classic musical comedy and madcap mystery, Murder For Two is a highly theatrical duet loaded with killer laughs.
Beat the winter blues with a trip to Playhouse on Park this January as it continues its Main Stage series with the hilarious Murder for Two, book and music by Joe Kinosian and book and lyrics by Kellen Blair, opening on January 16.

Never having seen this on stage but having read the novella some time ago, at the time acknowledging it as one of the most memorable stories I have ever read, seeing Steinbeck's words and emotions transposed on stage by the Monomoy Theatre, bringing to the life this simultaneously sad and touchingly hopeful plot by such talented individuals, really made the impact of Of Mice and Men that much stronger. In my opinion, it enhances this plot to the extent of it being particularly memorable for some time to come for all who are fortunate enough to see this production.
