One of the tricks to great satire, and great comedy in general, is the ability to play it straight. The ability, or talent, of acting as if what's happening is perfectly normal. As if the zany craziness is just another typical day, nothing out of the ordinary. There is much zaniness to be had, and a lot of playing it perfectly straight, to hilarious effect, in 2nd Story Theatre's production of The Murder Room. 2nd Story is spending the hot summer months showcasing some cold blooded murderers. The two plays they are showcasing in repertory, Mousetrap and The Murder Room, are prime examples of their type. One, Mousetrap, is a taught, suspenseful whodunit, written by the master of mystery herself, Agatha Christie. The other, The Murder Room, is a spot-on spoof of murder mysteries just like the one it shares a stage with. As dark, suspenseful and tense Mousetrap is, The Murder Room is equally hilarious and endlessly fun.

Typically, summer theater is a place for big, bright, fluffy musicals. Most summer stock theater companies fill their seasons with bright, cheerful musical theater extravaganzas, which is not a bad thing, not at all. Musicals can be a perfect lighter, summertime entertainment. On the other hand, it's also nice that some theaters provide an alternative to the typical summer theatrical fare. One such theater is 2nd Story Theatre in Warren, which is offering a unique pairing of shows. 2nd Story's 'Murder in Rep,' features not one but two murder mystery plays. But like any good murder mystery, there's a twist. The first show is Mousetrap, an Agatha Christie mystery which is also the longest running play in history. The second show, The Murder Room, is actually a spoof of thrillers just like the one it's sharing the stage with.
