Studio Theatre

It’s a dark and stormy night, and our cast of oddball characters has been invited to a very unusual dinner party.

 

Each of the guests has an alias, the butler offers a variety of weapons and the host is, well, dead. So whodunit?

 

Join the iconic oddballs known as Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock and Mustard as they race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up.
