The Saint Sebastian Players currently have nine original audience-participation murder mysteries in our repertoire.
Following are the titles and brief synopses:
The Case of the Blue Note Bully
Though the Blue Note nightclub is popular, its owner is not! When he ends up dead one night, there is a lineup of suspects: the singer, who wants out of her contract and the owner’s advances; the comedian, who fights for the singer’s career at the expense of his own job; the producer, who wants to sign the singer to a recording deal but can’t get past her contract; and the secretary, who carries a torch for the owner.
Murder Take One or Who Shot the Commercial?
A director is shooting a commercial in a restaurant and must cope with a temperamental star and other quirky characters. Tempers flare inevitably into murder and the diners must solve the crime.
Politics Can Be Murder
Congressman Tensin’s wife and some of his close friends have whipped up a surprise birthday party for him, highlighted with a special “cocktail” he’s supposed to drink. But who becomes the “ghost” voter?
Dial AM for Murder
Join WSSP’s live broadcast as controversial Don Kole and Dave Furnace heat up the airwaves. Special guest ex-pro linebacker Ric Cronin is scheduled to appear. But note this warning: Don and Dave just might kill someone with laughter! (Like much of today’s AM radio, some material might be inappropriate for younger or more sensitive listeners.)
You Bug Me To Death
Dr. Katherine Mitchell, renowned naturalist, is holding court with her professional cabal, the friends and associates who have helped her get to where she is today. The problem is: will she still be there tomorrow after this group gets done with her?
Lend Us A Tenor—Ours Is Dead
Dan Williams wasn’t such a bad guy. Sure he was no Billy Ray Cyrus, but that was no reason to stick a knife in his “achy breaky heart.” Join us for sex, lies and audiotape as we sift through the clues of a chorus member murdered before he had a chance to make it to rehearsal.
Murder in the Rectory (or, One Less Cross to Bear)
Monsignor Mario Maladetti has come to St. William from the Vatican to investigate the sudden discovery of a supposedly “true” relic of the church’s namesake. He doesn’t get to check out the relic for long before he becomes one himself. Who could do such a thing to a man of the cloth?
Murder For Fire
The newly promoted Barney Phife has been imported from Mayberry to try to restore some order to Chicago’s streets. However, his first case has him a little “hot under the collar.” He can’t understand why somebody would burn down a perfectly good store just to settle a score.
As Long As You Both Shall Live
If you laughed at Tony & Tina…If you solved Shear Madness…Then you will adore this decidedly different kind of wedding, one where lives are joined…and then ended! You may be singing “Here comes the bride” but trying to figure out who killed the groom!
Each of these shows works well in a restaurant or dinner setting. Each typically involves a combination of scripted and improvised material, but the real fun is the degree to which the audience gets involved in solving the crime.
