Varthur McArthur, the tyrannical artistic director of a failing theater in Duluth, invites the company to his home for a murder mystery dinner party — but soon Varthur himself is face-down in his soup! Luckily, Detective Justine Case is on the case, uncovering secret affairs, life-long grudges, back-stage drama and a school of red herrings. Conceived during the 2020 COVID lockdowns as a digitally produced, remotely performed streaming series, A Killer Party: A Murder Mystery Musical mixes a clever plot, eccentric characters, madcap comedy and song-and-dance numbers into an irreverent and hilarious whodunnit!
