The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940

by John Bishop

November 20, 21, 22, 2008

Doors open at 6:30pm, show starts at 7pm

The play is an ingenious and wildly comic romp which enjoyed a long and critically hailed run both on and off-Broadway. Poking antic fun at the more ridiculous aspects of "show biz" and the corny thrillers of Hollywood's heyday, the play is a non-stop barrage of laughter as those assembled (or at least those who aren't killed off) untangle the mystery of the "Stage Door Slasher."
