The wife of a powerful Hollywood RKO Studios producer discovers her husband’s plan to reinvent his studio —leaving behind the song and dance musicals that made it famous. His wife and the studio’s creative talent will do anything to stop him. In a clash of ambition and revenge, the stars and executives compete to make the latest greatest RKO studio production. Everyone is dying to be a part of it! Will this swanky soiree include getting away – with murder? The Wilburton's mystery weekends have been featured in Bloomberg Magazine, Broadway World and Travel Curator. The tradition of mystery weekends at The Wilburton began many years ago when innkeeper Georgette Wasserstein Levis wrote a murder mystery homage, The Brothers Rosenblood, to her sister, Wendy Wasserstein’s Broadway hit, The Sisters Rosensweig. Since 2013, Tajlei Levis, known for writing vintage literary musicals, like Edith Wharton’s Glimpses of the Moon, has created new mystery events each year, inspired by Wilburton and local Vermont history.
