In order to please our mundane/small town audience, we usually have to play up the style more than the substance during our runs. People would much rather see smoke and mirrors, breakaway glass, and a good gun battle than true acting, but that is neither here nor there (a good topic for another discussion, however) but, we DO need to find a show that fits in this system. something with a great story line and the overwhelming ability to entertain an audience who loves tricks, special effects, some great action/fighting. Lighting and sound are a huge componant as well, its all in the challenge! Any ideas gang?!

MOOSE MURDERS!!!   

um, we can handle both biggertigger, though the past few have been musicals, so maybe a straight play would be a nice change. thanks

If you are looking for a straight show take a look at "Deathtrap" by Ira Levin. Dramatist holds the rights. It is filled with special effects, a couple of  murders, and lots of twist and turns.

Thanks everyone...those suggestions are great! We have done Deathtrap in the past few years and it was a huge success....people loved it and we had a blast with the effects, i know before my time the company did Dracula and it drew a huge crowd too...unfortunatly, our date is March so either people would love to see it becuase its in the middle of the dreary months, or they would not come because its not halloweenish enough...
