“Murder for Two” Musical Whodunit Opens At The Schoolhouse:
Join Parker Arts for their first stage production of the 2023/2024 season with “Murder for Two,” opening Oct. 27.
The musical is the perfect blend of song, mayhem and murder! In this hilarious 90-minute show, two performers play 13 roles – not to mention the piano – in a witty and winking homage to old-fashioned murder mysteries. You won’t want to miss this killer musical comedy.
The show runs through Nov. 19 at The Schoolhouse, with tickets available here.
