Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre - Recipe for Success |

|
Fanfare to Murder! |
|||
|
By David Moberg |
|||
|
Appropriate for High School, College, and Community Theatre |
|||
| Joanna Janeen, a young but fading starlet/singer, hosts a party to celebrate her upcoming performance tour. Joanna has lured noted Hollywood producer, Toby Torleen, to attend in the hope of winning a leading role in his newest film. Joanna's agent, husband, understudy, and maid see this party as their last hope to step into Joanna's spotlight. Silly antics with the audience members, mistaken identities, unexpected surprises, and of course, murder abound as the characters jockey for attention and stardom. When gruff Detective Grout and his overzealous assistant arrive, the zany antics escalate to a hilarious conclusion. As dessert is served, the audience is invited to help quiz the suspects and reveal the murderer! | |||

| Fanfare to Murder is FULLY SCRIPTED | |||
| Consistency equals success! Unlike many other murder mysteries, all dialogue, action, and audience involvement in our plays is very carefully planned and practiced. Very few performers, particularly young or inexperienced performers, can sustain two hours of comedic improvisation with audiences of diverse ages and interests. Even performers experienced in improvisation often cross that fatal line between "being funny and trying to be funny." Being fully scripted to look wonderfully spontaneous insures that every performance of Fanfare to Murder will be consistently truthful, entertaining, and connected. | |||
|
But we do not have a Dinner Theatre Facility |
|||
| You don't need one! Fanfare to Murder can perform almost anywhere! School cafeterias for students or parents; private dining rooms at local restaurants; clubhouses at retirement communities; fellowship halls at churches; meeting rooms at local hotels. | |||
|
"To Eat or Not to Eat... That is the question!" |
|||
| With food; without food, full meal; maybe only dessert... the choice is yours. The plays are wonderfully engaging and entertaining with or without food. When ordering the scripts, however, please specify whether or not your production will include a meal. Slight alterations in the words and actions tailor the production to your special occasion. | |||
