ONCE UPON A CRIME at Results Entertainment

Through the generosity of audience members and patrons like yourselves, Results Entertainment raised over $7,000 for Foodbanks Canada and Feeding America in the United States over the past 4 seasons. Now in our fifth year, we hope to raise over $2,000 this Christmas season with the première of a murder mystery entitled ONCE UPON A CRIME - a feature-length film noir whodunit parody with 8 private online screenings on Zoom from Friday, December 13-Saturday, December 28.

Set in 1940s New York City – “ONCE UPON A CRIME” is an homage and tongue-in-cheek parody to the gritty black-and-white film noir crime dramas of the past, featuring snappy, fast-paced dialogue, intrigue and melodrama, peppered with some comedic performances and chock full of twists and turns. It tells the story of jaded private detective who is hired by an alluring femme fatale who suffers from amnesia and is engaged to arrogant socialite, whom she doesn’t completely trust. Her fiancé’s diabolical master plan nearly comes to fruition but not before a number of suspicious events take place at a secluded mansion over the course of the reading of an eccentric billionaire’s last will and testament. Throw in an impromptu séance where spirits of the deceased are summoned and things from there start to unravel and go sideways. Several suspects emerge but who really had the means, motive and opportunity to murder this billionaire? Only after a last-minute wedding ceremony and a final showdown will life-changing revelations come to light.
