Production workshops are original or adapted stories for the stage. They are enhanced by sets, lights, costumes and all the theatre magic we can create.
Calling all Mystery Fans! Dullsville is a town on the brink of terminal boredom. But when a crime of teenage angst explodes, the town is catapulted into an epic whodunit. Who can fathom this most heinous of crimes? How can anyone in their right mind steal another person’s gym shorts? No one can be safe in their homes and no one is innocent. Yet in the mire of the investigation, a romance blossoms, true identities are revealed, and strange birthmarks are uncovered. This is a thorough lampooning of high school, adults, small towns, school lunches, crime, and everything in between. It’s a show that’s fun for actors and audiences alike.
