Murder for Two is a madcap musical comedy that blends murder mystery with vaudevillian flair. When a celebrated author is found dead at his own birthday party, an eager but inexperienced detective is called to crack the case. The suspects? A zany lineup of eccentric characters—each with a motive—brought to life by a single, quick-changing actor. With two performers playing all the roles (and the piano!), this fast-paced whodunit is packed with sharp wit, clever wordplay, and a tuneful score. Full of twists, turns, and nonstop laughs, Murder for Two is an irresistible theatrical romp.
Hillbarn Theatre is at 1285 East Hillsdale Blvd, Foster City, CA.

The Board of Directors works strategically with the staff to ensure Hillbarn Theatre is the best that it can possibly be. This has been accomplished under the capable leadership of the current chair, Lisa WolfKlain, the former chair, Paul Regan, Gary Harris, and several others in the past. Hillbarn is the sixth oldest continuously operating amateur theater company in the nation and is the oldest company in San Mateo County. Since 1995, Hillbarn has won a Theater Critics Circle Award, was accepted at the Edinburgh Theatre Festival, was honored with several mayoral proclamations for excellence in theatrical production and education, three Dean Goodman Awards for Artistic Excellence, and a Foster City Honors Award for the Executive Director in 2003. In an interview, former Artistic Director Scott Williams said: “Hillbarn is an idea. Hillbarn began as a vision of Bob and Sam, essentially, and it has stayed coalesced around their vision. People who came here understood they had the vision, and it was an extraordinary one…They created a good feeling, a great viable organization, and they had a marvelous ability to bring people into the process.” Hillbarn is more than just a place, it’s a community that will remain forever a legacy to their memories and a benefit to the cultural life of not only the citizens of Foster City, but all who share in its community ideals.
