Director's Notes

Welcome to our production of "This Murder Was Staged," a delightful blend of mystery, comedy, and theatrical flair! 

From the moment we embarked on this journey, our goal was to bring to life a story that is as much about the characters' relationships as it is about the plot twists. This play invites you to not only follow the clues but also to enjoy the humor that arises from the chaos of a murder mystery gone awry.

As you watch, I encourage you to pay attention to the subtleties in the performances. Each character brings their own quirks and secrets, providing not only laughter but also a deeper commentary on the human condition. The interplay between suspense and comedy creates an atmosphere where you might find yourself both guessing and giggling.

This production has been a labor of love, with our incredible cast and crew dedicating countless hours to rehearsals, design, and performance. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone involved. Your passion and creativity have transformed the script into something truly special.

As you settle in for the show, remember to embrace the unexpected twists and enjoy the ride. After all, in this staged murder, nothing is quite what it seems!

Please be sure to take a moment and silence your phones and other electronic devices. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!  Thank you for being here and supporting live theater. Break a leg, everyone!

Warmly,

Brian R. Engelmeyer
