Review: AN OLD-FASHIONED FAMILY MURDER at New Theatre & Restaurant Photo
Review: AN OLD-FASHIONED FAMILY MURDER at New Theatre & Restaurant
by Alan Portner - Sep 23, 2024

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.
