The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940
by Chambers Theatre Company

Aug. 14 - Aug. 30

An eccentric theatre financier has gathered a team at her mansion in New York. Everyone believes that they will have a backer’s audition to get an investment for their newest musical. However, the shadow of the team’s last show hangs over the group—due mysterious murders committed by the “Stage Door Slasher.” An undercover police officer is hoping to flush out the killer from this group of suspects. Throw in blizzard conditions and secret passageways to create an Agatha-Christie-meets-Clue formula of whodunnit parody. The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940 is full of delightful slapstick for audience of all ages.
