Death
Strikes the Lightning Incarnate Theater (9 men; 6 women.
The cast number can be reduced.)
This game is set at a preview of a postmodern show based on a
Sherlock Holmes taleyes, you heard right, postmodern. Featured
are all the people you expect to find in a theater production,
plus a local cop who is cast as Sherlock Holmes. When a badly
injured man emerges in the middle of the show, the audience is
asked to determine who is responsible for his injuries and subsequent
death.
NOTE:
This show was designed to "showcase" a theater. It begins in the
house, but has scenes set in the costume shop, the green room,
etc. It could be run as part of a regular season or, based on
the assumption that people are curious about the backstage area,
it would make a great fundraiser.
Bam!
There Goes Another Upshaw Downs
(3
men; 4 women)
Even before they try to stage a seance to bring back the late
patriarch, the Upshaw Downs family has financial problems. But
that's nothing to the trouble they're in as a series of gifts
prove to be fatal. With family members dying right and left and
a big surprise from "the other side," the audience is
called upon to determine who is responsible for the carnage.
NOTE: There are
two versions of this show, one designed to be done in a theater,
and the second to be done in a mansion, either with or without
a meal.
The
Hiscott Family Reunion
(4
men; 3 women; 1 role either male or female)
Since we all know what goes on at a family reunion, it isn't difficult
for the guests to fit in as members of the Hiscott family. The
family is in the hat-making business, so to add to the fun it
is suggested that everyone wear a silly hat. The merry-making
is interrupted, however, when a rather unusual chapeau proves
to be lethal. Then it's up to the guests to figure out whodunnit,
why, and how (the latter is not so obvious as it originally seems
to be).
NOTE: This show
is scripted to be done with a dinner but it can easily be modified
to be played without a meal.
