In the glittering world of theater, where drama is expected to stay on the stage, "This Murder Was Staged" flips the script with deadly consequences. On opening night, as the fictional killer is about to be unmasked, life imitates art in the worst way possible—the director drops dead center stage.
Suddenly, the entire theater becomes a crime scene, and everyone's a suspect. From the understudy with a grudge to the prop master with a secret, motives are as plentiful as red herrings. As an intrepid detective attempts to solve the case, the line between performance and reality blurs, leaving the audience wondering: is this all part of the show, or has the ultimate critic silenced the director for good?
Penned by the wickedly clever duo behind "The Alibis" and "Rogues' Gallery," Patrick Greene and Jason Pizzarello deliver a fast-paced, backstabbing comedy that proves sometimes the most cutthroat place isn't the mean streets—it's behind the curtain. In this theatrical whodunit, the show must go on... even if the director didn't.
Get ready for an evening of laughter, suspense, and murder most entertaining. After all, they say dying is easy, comedy is hard—but "This Murder Was Staged" makes killing look like a laugh riot!
