"A Night at the Theatre" begins traditionally as a group of community theatre actors perform a campy old chestnut, but when the leading lady drops dead mid-performance, the show explodes into an experience of epic proportions as 13 actors embark on individual tracks throughout our historic building– confronting their fellow suspects, speculating on motives, and dropping clues along the way. Audiences choose their own adventure as they follow characters through all three floors of simultaneous action in the hopes of unmasking the killer. Think "Sleep No More" meets "Clue" as a dimly-lit, dusty historic theatre is overtaken by a cast of hilarious characters determined that the show must go on-- even as they begin to fall victim to the killer's sinister plot. The show, which debuted in November, 2025, with five sold-out performances, welcomes back the entire original cast, crew, and creative teams to revisit this wildly comedic, immersive romp.

Audience Role
