Mississippi Mudds winter press release. Jan 22nd 2010
Members of the Mudds, your local community theatre, are in full rehearsal mode once more to bring two brand new productions to you in early Spring 2010.
On March 19th and 20th we present Death of a Doornail by Lee Mueller, at the Heritage Inn. Like other Mudds popular murder mystery dinner theatre productions, this one comes with an intriguing story line and a cast of quirky characters.
When a nerdy niece, an irritating ex-wife, a stuck up daughter, a ditzy mistress, and a sleazy old mobster are invited by eccentric millionaire Albert Doornail to join him in his mansion one evening, a night filled with mischief and mayhem ensues. When they arrive, Albert is nowhere to be seen. Confused and bewildered, the group proceeds to search for their host, only to find blood all over the upstairs bathroom. Now they must identify a killer and a motive with the help of a washed up police inspector who arrives from the “yard”. Who murdered Al? How? And what was the motive behind the murder? The audience is invited to sift through the clues and decide whodunit.
