Raymond Chandler News

Park Square continues its 41st season next month with the Minnesota premiere of the musical comedy MURDER FOR TWO on the Andy Boss Thrust Stage. The whodunit by Kellen Blair (book and lyrics) and Joe Kinosian (book and music) is the perfect blend of music, mayhem and murder. In this hilarious 90-minute show, two performers play thirteen roles -- not to mention the piano -- in a witty and winking homage to old-fashioned murder mysteries.

While pop culture movies, TV and games remain the strength of Dragon Con, Galaxy Press was happy to report that book sales were improved over previous years.

13th Floor is proud to announce the world premiere of THE BROKEN KNIFE, an original play conceived by Artistic Director Jenny McAllister.
