Synopsis

A thrilling “theatrical” mystery. The playwright turns on the stage work light and prepares for the first reading of his new play. The actors, producer, director, and others connected with the show come onto the stage, and under their humorous theatrical talk, tension grows. We discover that everyone connected with this play was involved with another play by the same playwright. At its opening night, exactly a year ago and in this same theater, the beautiful leading lady, who was also the playwright’s fiancée, was murdered!

As the actors read the new play, startling connections to the murder begin to unfold. The growing tension reaches the boiling point with surprising revelations. The dazzling, yet basically logical twists build to a climax and solution that are theatrically stunning!

Cast (ages are flexible)  Everyone is welcome!

Alex Dennison:  (40s-50s) A playwright, Alex is handsome, debonair, witty, intelligent, and willing to do just about anything to trap the killer of his
beloved fiancé.  Must be able to express the
full range of emotions as well: being in love, grief, vengeance, desperation, etc.

Monica Welles. (30s-40s) The famous and beautiful film actress, fiancé of Alex, and victim.  Although Monica dies early in the play, she is “brought to life” through flashbacks in order to help Alex trap her killer. 
when she met her early demise.  Must be able to
express the full range of emotions: being in love, fear, desperation, disdain, etc.

Lloyd Andrews. (40s-60s) The play’s director for the Alex’s show Chamber Music. He is handsome, although a bit nerdy.

Bella Lamb. (40s-60s) The play’s producer for the show Chamber Music. Bella is bright, extremely wealthy, glamorous, and sophisticated. She is extremely confident!

Karen Daniels. (30s) An up-and-coming Broadway actress when the play begins, Karen is now a sought-after star. She was Monica’s understudy a year prior in
Chamber Music, but she quickly reached her way to the top. She is beautiful and no longer the innocent ingenue she was. She starts the show meek and mild, but then shows herself to be ambitious and conniving.

David Mathews. (40s-60s)  A popular and handsome Broadway actor, David is also very smug and full of himself, believing that every woman worships him. He
approaches each show with the belief that he’ll have to dust off his fireplace mantle for another Tony.  

Leo Gibbs. (40s-50s) A supporting Broadway actor,  Leo is a tad awkward, & obnoxious, especially around Karen,

Sally Bean.(18-25) Young, energetic, bright but naïve. A
bit ditzy, and wide-eyed at the Big Apple.

Frank Heller (30s-50s)An observer in Act One to everything occurring on-stage during the present and “flashbacks” Frank, however, intervenes in Act Two, at first portraying Lieutenant McElroy, the detective who closed the Monica Welles’ case, and then
himself. A jack-of-all-trades: actor (often out of work), bartender, cab driver, etc.

The Following Roles can be doubled as needed.
Ernie. Male. Any age. The gruff, no-nonsense backstage theatre manager who reveres Alex and was genuinely fond of Monica.

Loretta Any age. The play’s stage manager for Chamber Music (and the last time Monica was on stage). She is very efficient and determined.

Policeman/Policewoman Any age. Assist in
the investigation of Monica’s death.

Santoro: Any age. The delivery man who brings in Monica’s Study – set up exactly as it was on the day of her death and perfect for a re-enactment.

GREASE:  SCHOOL VERSION

Here is Rydell High’s senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding “Burger Palace Boys” and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking “Pink Ladies” in bobby sox and pedal pushers, evoking the look and sound of the 1950s in this rollicking musical.

Head “greaser” Danny Zuko and new girl Sandy Dumbrowski try to relive the high romance of their “Summer Nights” as the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through the show.  Recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard, and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation. An eight-year run on Broadway and two subsequent revivals, along with innumerable school and community productions place GREASE among the world’s most popular musicals.
