SB Civic Presents Hilarious Holiday Murder Mystery THE GAME'S AFOOT This June
By: Louisa Brady May. 14, 2016
It is December 1936 and Broadway star William Gillette (Bill Svelmoe), admired the world over for his leading role in the play Sherlock Holmes, has invited his fellow cast-members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous.
"From the intriguing opening mini play within a play to the surprise last scene a split second before final curtain, The Game's Afoot gives you everything you love about great live theatre. Billed as a comedy thriller you will find yourself swept along for a wild and funny ride."
