OPENING NIGHT

Will it be fame and fortune for all? Or humiliation and the loss of their one shot at success? Tensions run high and emotions are theatrical on this night of high hopes and murderous ambition. How far will an actor go to win fame and acclaim in the footlights? What motivates the mysterious foreign director and his over-anxious producers?

REVIEWS TO DIE FOR

As the reviews come in, the players fall, one by one… Is it bad luck? …a series of bizarre accidents? Or is someone playing his or her part with murderous sincerity? Unravel the mystery amid the dazzling personalities of 1920’s Broadway. To the stars, prohibition is a joke, the play is deadly serious and the reviews are to kill for.
