The 2010-2011 Season continues at Eastpointe's Broadway Onstage Live Theatre when "new producers" Shirley and Joe Urkshus present THE BROADWAY ONSTAGE MURDERS opening on Friday, February 18.  Running Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm and Select Sundays at 2pm, this audience-participation murder mystery will be pleasing audiences through its closing night on Saturday, March 19.

Select Sunday Matinees are only performed at Broadway Onstage when a prearranged group of 30 or more is scheduled to attend.  Broadway Onstage Live Theatre is located at 21517 Kelly Rd. at Toepfer (8 ½ Mile Rd.) in Eastpointe.  The theatre is the home of the patented TeeVeeStage^TM Presentation system, which employs cameras above the audience and monitors above the stage to provide audience members with different viewing perspectives of the live stage performance.  Broadway Onstage Live Theatre is also the home of Dennis Wickline Productions, Inc., which began producing Non-Equity professional live theatre on the Eastside of Detroit in February of 1980.
           
THE BROADWAY ONSTAGE MURDERS ushers a "renewed era of excellence" at Broadway Onstage in Eastpointe when "new producers" Shirley and Joe Urkshus momentarily take over the theatre to present this unique production.  THE BROADWAY ONSTAGE MURDERS introduces us to a zany set of characters. Mrs. Buldheiss, a wealthy matron, is the owner of a large castle-like mansion.  She has invited her daughter, Angelica, and her new son in law, Tony, to stay with her for a time so that she may get to know him and try to appreciate their relationship.  Mrs. Buldheiss does not trust the sometime musician to keep her daughter in the manner to which she has become accustomed.  She also believes that Tony is merely a money-hungry charlatan who will bilk Angelica out of the fortune that the deceased Mr. Buldheiss had accumulated.   Into the mix is thrown a sexy, young maid named Constance, who has only worked for Mrs. Buldheiss for about a year and a half, and mystery and entangling alliances become the order of the evening.  
           
Appearing as Mrs. Buldheiss is Elizabeth Rager.  Ms. Rager was recently seen this past fall in SHERLOCK HOLMES IS COMING TO DINNER at Broadway Onstage as Mrs. Hudson.  Beth Duey takes on the role of Angelica.  Ms. Duey was seen at Broadway Onstage as Elizabeth, the wife, in last season's production of MURDERER.  Broadway Onstage newcomer Ed Schneider will be seen as Tony, the musician son in law, and Sarah Lynne Oravetz will appear as Constance, the maid.  Ms. Oravetz was just seen in the world premiere mystery THE PROBLEM OF CELL 13 at the theatre as Anne Hatch.  Broadway Onstage favorite Jann Hight, who was recently seen at Broadway Onstage in THE NUTCRACKER'S NUTS as Alberta will appear throughout the evening in a variety of roles.  The production was originally directed by Dennis Wickline, founder of Broadway Onstage.
