Millbrook Playhouse Presents Zany Whodunit MADCAP MUSICAL MURDER MYSTERY

The Board of Directors and Artistic Director, David Leidholdt, are pleased to announce the third annual Fall in Mill Hall festivities, starting out with an original whodunit murder mystery written by Shannon Agnew, followed by the Lock Haven Paranormal Seekers, and MPH Halloween Party.

It's time to crown Miss Keystone Levee 1988, and four wacky "women" are competing for the title. Chaos ensues when contest judge and bad guy Steve Dust reveals he is blackmailing, stalking, stealing from, and breaking up with the women competing. It's no wonder that during the talent portion of the evening Steve Dust is murdered. It is up to the audience to question the contestants and vote on which queen may really be a killer! Hidden motives, musical numbers, and twists and turns will have you laughing and guessing which suspect would kill to win. Join in the fun as the audience votes which of these glam gals will be crowned Miss Keystone Levee, and which queen will be found guilty. Remember, the show is never the same twice, and the higher the hair the closer to cracking the case!

MADCAP MUSICAL MURDER MYSTERY features: Shannon Agnew as Judith Bower, an entrepreneur who invents kitschy products with punny titles; Marc De La Concha as Rose White, an award winning avon sales specialist; David Groccia as Shelly Chambers, an amateur poet and cabbage patch enthusiast who may have taken her obsession too far; Aubrey Potash as Gail Gardner, an aspiring Hollywood starlet, and Matt Spencer as you emcee for the evening, Johnny Holmes, and the bad guy judge Steve Dust. This beloved cast is bringing a night of interactive fun where you the audience have the chance to vote for Miss Keystone Levee, and choose who murdered Steve Dust. Some lucky audience members may even find themselves assisting in each of the contestant talent acts.
