Possum Point Players Present A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER

The story and songs of Robert L. Freedman and Steven Lutvak are out to prove that getting away with murder can be so much fun and there's no better proof than the hilarious award-winning "A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder." When a low-born Englishman finds that he is ninth in line for an earldom in a lofty-born and pretentious family, he must consider his options for attaining that earldom over eight other D'Ysquith limbs of the family tree.

Since he's already juggling a fiancé and a mistress, complications come naturally to him. Mysteries include the inexplicable demise of D'Ysquith family members, whether love interests will remain interested and will the long arm of the law finger him as a murder suspect. Of course, it's all performed with lively good humor and song and dance.

'A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder' is directed by Jim Hartzell. Diane Trautman is music director and Bliss Soucek is choreographer.

'A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder' is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
