Show Description:
A dashing leading man, a well known and continuing rising star of a leading lady, an understudy waiting in the wings; the piano is tuned, the props are set, the stage manager has called 5 minutes to places and the theater manager can smell a hit! But as our stars begin to put on the staged noir, Song of Silence, tragedy brings down the leading lady as she literally dies on stage. But as detectives Wrobleski and Fitzpatrick come to find out everyone has a motive and everyone has the means; even the leading lady's twin sister! The audience will have 3 scenes and evidence that continues to pile up to try and solve this who-dun-it before the detectives point the finger at the guilty party.
