In addition to its regular Mainstage Season, Way Off Broadway has become known for its special events throughout the year. Notably, its interactive murder mysteries in which the audience gets involved and helps solve the case. 

As part of the theatre's 30th Anniversary Season,Way Off Broadway will play host to the newest installment of the Marquee Mysteries Series, Murder in the Big Easy.  

The interactive event will appear at the theatre for two performances only on Friday evening, Friday evening, October 4th and Saturday evening, October 5th. 

Detective stories and mysteries have been a part of entertainment culture for as long as anyone can remember. 

From the days of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie to the modern television crime shows of today, everyone loves a good mystery, and everyone thinks they can be the next Sherlock Holmes.  With Way Off Broadway and Justin M. Kiska's Marquee Mysteries, they have that chance.

With Murder in the Big Easy, multi-millionaire businessman, philanthropist, and infamous New Orleans playboy Charles Broussard disappeared, only to have his lifeless body found a few days later.  His murder has sent shockwaves through the Big Easy's social elite and left everyone in his life as a suspect.  There were some in his circle of friends who thought he simply ran off with a young, energetic fitness trainer, leaving his wife nearly penniless.  Others wondered if a shady business deal or dark political connection finally caught up with him.  Regardless of what finally led to his demise, it is time for his will to be read and his assets to be distributed, which is why friends, family, and enemies have gathered for the evening.

Suspects for the mystery include Betsey Whitmore Brannen as Madam Agribah, Dino P. Coppa, Sr. as Atticus Broussard, Melissa Ann Martin as Miss Pennyrose, Sarah Melinda as D. Eleanor Davis, Esq., and Megan Elizabeth West as Claudette Broussard.

Murder in the Big Easy is the latest interactive mystery from the creator of Marquee Mysteries, Justin M. Kiska, who is directing the event for the theatre.

The mystery on both evenings will begin at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $50 per person and may be purchased by contacting the Box Office at (301) 662-6600. For complete details about Murder in the Big Easy, or any of Way Off Broadway's upcoming productions, visit the theatre's website at www.wayoffbroadway.com.
