Murder By Membership Only | Mechanicsburg | February 21 - March 9, 2025

"How would it look if a roomful of mystery writers had to go to the police to solve a murder that took place under their very noses?"

This murder mystery-comedy occurs in the exclusive Orczy Club, an "inner sanctum" for women mystery writers in London. Most of them hate the arrogant Octavia Sturges, the most successful mystery writer of the day, so it is no surprise when she is found dead—poisoned by one of the poisons she was so fond of using in her stories. But what happens now? Should these specialists in murder try to solve the case themselves—at the risk of their own lives, since obviously the murderer is one of them—or should they call Scotland Yard?

Murder On The Menu | Harrisburg | February 21-23, 2025

Artemus Ward, head of his family’s  lucrative publishing business, falls face first into his mashed potatoes, revealing a knife in his back. Luckily Dr. Bullfinger, an over-eager, newly elected county coroner, was dining at the restaurant and is eager to lead an investigation... and give herself a career boost in the process!

It’s hard to say who did it considering everyone has a motive. Reginald, the heir to the business? Major, who wrote the company’s bestseller but hasn’t received his royalties? Alexis, four-time widow of husbands who died at the dinner table? The destitute nephew, Bernie, from the mailroom? Or Eileen Morrow, a backstabbing attorney?

Between scenes, the audience will interact with cast members to discover additional clues and help uncover the culprit!
