This Murder Was Staged

About This Show

This Murder Was Staged is a fast-paced backstage comedy packed with twists, suspects, and theatrical chaos. It’s opening night of a brand-new mystery play, but just as the onstage killer is about to be revealed, the real shock hits—the play’s demanding director drops dead onstage. In an instant, the theater becomes an active crime scene, and everyone is a suspect: cast, crew, and even members of the audience. With egos bruised, tempers flaring, and secrets spilling faster than costume changes, the detective must untangle a web of rivalries and grudges—because nearly everyone (and their mother… literally) had a reason to want the director gone. Full of sharp wit, rapid-fire dialogue, and plenty of theatrical backstabbing, This Murder Was Staged is a hilarious whodunit that proves the drama doesn’t stop when the curtain goes up.
