Review: AN OLD-FASHIONED FAMILY MURDER at New Theatre & Restaurant
Imagine a very funny stage comedy hidden behind a locked door, puzzler of a 1940s mystery movie and you’ve got AN OLD-FASHIONED FAMILY MURDER now playing at New Theatre and Restaurant. It is a World Premiere production. Double Tony-winning playwright Joe DiPietro has cleverly developed a recipe for an uproarious new farce.

Interview: Joe DiPietro of AN OLD-FASHIONED FAMILY MURDER at New Theatre & Restaurant
Kansas City audiences do not often get the opportunity to see World Premiere productions of plays by Tony Award winning playwrights. This makes the current New Theatre & Restaurant production of Joe DiPietra’s new play “An Old-Fashioned Family Murder” starring “All In The Family’s” Sally Strothers exceptional.
