OCCUPATION: MURDER! is a murder-mystery that requires audience participation which takes place on stage. Members of the audience will be playing the game along with the cast.
When the rehearsal begins for the TV show It’s a Living! who would suspect that before the telecast is over, the hardest problem to solve would be “Who killed Tony Fabrizi, the show’s sponsor?” And why was he murdered? Was it for the diamond bracelet he had brought for the commercial, or was he shot for personal reasons?
Homicide detective Lt. Jim Slate discovers that most of the TV show’s cast had motives to murder the man – or could it have been his Italian wife with a fiery temper? Perhaps she knew about her husband’s involvement with Marilyn, a girl with knockout looks and a horrible voice?
Rounds of the fictional game show are actually played during the performance using members of the audience on stage as contestants. With the help of Amanda Maxwell, a little old lady amateur sleuth, Lt. Slate solves the murder at the exciting conclusion to OCCUPATION: MURDER!
Good luck to the members of the cast and crew as they put on our November fall play!
