Auditions - Done to Death

THE BELFRY PROUDLY ANNOUNCES AUDITIONS FOR THEIR SEASON OPENER

Done to Death
A MYSTERY-COMEDY DONE IN TWO ACTS
DIRECTED BY NANCY LAFFERTY

Done to Death is a murder mystery comedy written by Fred Carmichael. The plot focuses on five has-been mystery fiction writers who are brought to the mysterious Vulture's Vault to collaborate on and write a new murder mystery TV series. When real murders start to happen, hilarity ensues.

The play is a huge parody of the murder mystery genre as the writers have their own styles that they use in hopes of figuring out the murders. Fast-paced and full of action!!
