3The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940

Sunday, August 21, 7:30pm-9:30pm
11920 Lebanon Rd, Mt. Juliet, TN
Playhouse615
A wildly campy parody of whodunits. Imagine if Carol Burnett had written an Agatha Christie mystery crossed with the movie “Clue.” The creative team responsible for a recent Broadway flop (in which three chorus girls were murdered by the mysterious “Stage Door Slasher”) assemble for a backer’s audition of their new show at the Westchester estate of a wealthy “angel.” The house is replete with sliding panels, secret passageways and a German maid who is apparently four different people- all of which figure diabolically in the comic mayhem that follows when the infamous “slasher” makes his reappearance and strikes again.
