Choose Your Murder
Overview
This spring, you’re not just attending a show – you’re choosing your fate. Will you settle in for the edge-of-your-seat suspense of the full-length thriller Night Watch, or opt for a double dose of mystery with the short plays The 39 Steps and The Gypsy’s Curse?
Each path promises intrigue, deception, and a body or two along the way. But beware: once you’ve chosen your murder, there’s no turning back.
