Ax of Murder - TBS Fall Play

A script is haunted, murder ensues, the police get involved, and even the audience is suspect. You never know what will happen in this thrilling murder mystery!

Everyone's heard of a haunted house, probably even a haunted theater, but a haunted play? Could it be haunted by the spirit of a man who recently died at the theatre? No... it's not possible! At least, that's what theater director Bonnie Bagwell tries to convince the other members of the troupe as writer Colleen Chambers hints at the trail of horror that has cursed her script, Ax of Murder. Unfortunately, curiosity gets the best of the actors and, despite Colleen's adamant warnings, they open the script and start reading the play. It soon becomes apparent the play is mirroring their theater and even the specific actors. The play changes with each performance, Colleen intones, though she's not taken seriously. But when a police sergeant shows up on cue stating he was called in on a murder, people begin to wonder. Wonder turns to fear when someone IS murdered on stage, and it seems as if no one could have done it. Nobody, that is, but perhaps a ghost. You won't know who or what to believe. Beware the twists and turns of this play. You never know what will happen next when you see Ax of Murder, presented Friday, Nov. 3rd at 7:00 pm, Saturday, Nov. 4th at 7:00 pm, and Sunday, Nov. 5th at 2:00 pm. At the Actors Studio Theatre in Holly Hill Mall.
