Summer Stock Murder
by Kingsley Day, Philip LaZebnik, Paul Hough

This riotous musical mystery's three acts span three weeks at the Sagautasac Playhouse, a typical summer stock theatre.

The company rehearses and presents a new musical in each act: a Friml-esque operetta, a Cole Porter-ish potpourri, and a musical drama a la Sondheim.

With the pressure on and temperaments soaring, a string of bizarre murders begins taking place.

Accompanying this high drama of the hilarious sort is the low comedy of visiting stars and sex-crazed apprentices as crisis after crisis threatens each curtain.

In a stroke of comic inspiration, one woman plays each of the visiting guest stars who arrive in each act – an ex-diva cum game show panelist, a B-movie sexpot, and a boozing broad from Broadway – making it a tour de force for a lucky singing actress.

If the time has come to give your audience one they haven't seen, this is it!
