Dead Men Don't Need Dress Rehearsals

Book By: William D Nutt

Cast: 3 m, 5 w

Everyone seemed to hate Derek Moore, so no one is surprised when the smooth-talking actor is found dead in the middle of a dress rehearsal. Archie Lewis, a well-intentioned but goofy detective who happens to be in the theater, offers to solve the case, but things turn out to be more complicated than he had anticipated. Why does the female stagehand, Ed, talk only in lines from classical literature and popular songs? Why does the laconic Francis keep covering for the unsmiling Jessica? Is there more to naive Terri than devotion to Derek? Do Maria's wisecracks cover a deeper secret? Is the director, Susan, lying to cover someone else's guilt - or her own? This interactive comedy-mystery is sure to keep playgoers on their toes - to say nothing of the actors, who must undergo grilling by the audience!
