The Ringgold Playhouse presents The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940 a comedy by John Bishop, directed by Kimberly Tyner Jones. The play will have five total performances from June 5th through June 8th at the Ringgold Depot. Senior/Student tickets are $10 online and $12 walk-up. General Admission tickets are $12 online and $14 walk-up. Tickets are available at the door or at the link here: Buy Tickets
Synopsis:
The creative team responsible for a recent Broadway flop, in which three chorus girls were murdered by the mysterious “Stage Door Slasher,” assemble for a backer’s audition of their new show at the Westchester estate of a wealthy “angel.” The house is replete with sliding panels, secret passageways, and a German maid who is apparently four different people—all of which figure diabolically in the comic mayhem that follows when the infamous “Slasher” reappears and strikes again—and again.
As the composer, lyricist, actors, and director prepare their performance, and a blizzard cuts off any possible retreat, bodies start to drop in plain sight, knives spring out of nowhere, masked figures drag their victims behind swiveling bookcases, and accusing fingers point in all directions. However, and with no thanks to the bumbling police inspector who snowshoes in to investigate, the mystery is solved in the nick of time and the “Slasher” unmasked—but not before the audience has been treated to a sidesplitting good time and a generous serving of the author’s biting, satiric, and refreshingly irreverent wit.
