My Fatal Valentine

This production is an audience participation murder mystery and the evening begins as you enter the theatre. Actors, in character, will circulate, establish relationships, and stage confrontational scenes -- all of which ‘set up’ the mystery that will unfold.
The play is set at a convention of romance writers, all contenders for the Loveknot Book of the Year Award given by Heartthrob Books, eagerly await the announcement of the major prize winner. Among the nominated authors are two spinster sisters, a young prodigy and her overbearing mother, a British aristocrat, a rude and obnoxious social climber and a rough and tough dude with his bimbo girlfriend. Editor Benton Fish tries gamely to keep the award ceremonies civilized amid jealousies and rivalries. When the winner is announced and then abruptly murdered, it will be up to the amateur detectives (you) to vote for who they think ‘dunit’. The play’s ending will then differ from night to night depending on your votes!
