The Art of Murder

Posted

The Marshfield Community Theatre rolled out the red carpet for an eclectic Murder Mystery which wrapped production on Sunday, October 3. The show was penned by local performer and playwright, Patrick Schuster of Murder All Around, LLC.

“Patricks shows have been such great hits in the past and this show’s no exception,” said VP Marketing Director Kelby Lorenz. “Our cast worked hard to put on this interactive show.”

A ticket for The Art of Murder came with not only comedic murder mystery, but a silent art auction as well. The auction featured actual art from local artists that were bid on throughout the night by patrons of the play.

The interactive mystery of solving the murder had guests on the edge of their seat and rolling with laughter. The story tells the tale of an aging socialite, investigative journalist, a man with a questionable accent, a terrible actress and more.
