Performers Needed for "A Party to Murder" Play
Seeking performers for production of "A Party to Murder". See the details below. About the play: This Canadian play takes place during Halloween in 1998. Six people have come in secret to play a murder mystery game at a rustic island cottage. Invited by writer Charles Prince, they appear set for a weekend of fun, until ghosts from the past begin to haunt the proceedings and it becomes clear that all is not as it seems.
