Murder In Black And White

It's an irreverent and somewhat naughty send-up of film noir detective movies. The tragic evening centers around a "live" radio broadcast from the fictitious Curtainsville Inn, circa 1940. The radio performers are excited about their first live coast to coast broadcast. But amidst all the excitement there is clearly an air of intrigue abounding. As the show goes "live" we hear a shot. Someone is very dead. In a throwback to a time gone by, your audience will get into the moment of dark shadows, and deadly motives.....and lots of laughs along the way.
