THE SETTING
for this mystery takes place at cocktail hour, followed by dinner that
begins with the presentation of the $80 Million Dollar Will from the
late Dolly Witherspoon's estate.
The
Witherspoon name became famous during the last century, ever since Sir
James Witherspoon came from England to California at the end of the Gold
Rush. His fortune was made in the timber industry that thrived off the
railroads and building of major cities throughout the Western
States. His young widow, the 20-year old stage singer and actress,
Dolly Witherspoon, outlived him by 60 years. Her reputation is
well-known as she is one of San Francisco's wealthiest widows.

Witherspoon, circa 1926
The dinner guest list
includes an eclectic mix of famous people all eager to hear if their
name is listed as a recipient on the will. The suspects
are an odd mix; including the likes of
playboy Biff Bodine, super-model Nada Klugh, Nurse Lippkiss, Gertrude
Whiner and Sean
Connery.
Screams are heard just
before dinner and a dead man suddenly appears lying on the floor. Detective
Schlitt
arrives on the scene to untangle this sordid and often comedic tale of
clues, alibis and lies.

A Roaring 20's Who-Dunnit ?
AT THIS PRIVATE
bash, the famous stage actress, Ann Marie Burroughs, has invited some of
society's "best people' to her Speak Easy nightclub. Don't forget that
these are "dry times" - since the Volstead Act in the U.S. Congress
outlawed booze some time ago. Guests soon realize all the guests are sipping
illegal hootch, including the Mayor and a State Senator.
Bruno Valentino (older brother of Rudolph) is a famous
"race-a-car"
driver who is popular with the ladies and they
swoon and scream at the mention of his name. Other suspects include con-man, Eddie Cashdollar and
dingy flapper and wannabe stage dancer, Faye Kinnett. The spoiled East Coast debutante', Vanna Teafaire
is not above suspicion and her snobby attitude and fashion critique's of
other women in attendance just might get her killed as well. For
some productions, Lucinda Sachs (a Mae West clone) might even make an
appearance.

San Francisco dancer and singer
The entire play is interspersed with the Ragtime
sounds of early jazz and Dixieland, and Barbershop music. This theme creates
a great mood for all your costumed
guests. They'll have a ball dressing up as Flappers", gangsters, or preppy Great Gatsby types!

Bon soir! You are a member of a very privileged group who have all traveled to the Louvre
Museum in Paris, France to attend a once in a lifetime event. Your fellow guests are
dignitaries and famous celebrities whom
will witness the unveiling of a rare and treasured art piece worth millions.
A long-lost art work
by Leonardo deVinci will be presented to the public amidst a fanfare of
lights, TV cameras, and the world press. Guests
include renown people in the news like Monique St. Claire, Lance
Darling, Angelina Giovanni Montebello Virginia, Monsignor Balogne
and G. I. Luvmuney.

We
respectfully request our honored guests and media
personnel to
refrain from using camera flashes and
movie lights in order to protect the pigments
in this delicate art piece...as well as the privacy of our famous guests. Alarm systems and video
surveillance are part of a matrix of anti-theft
prevention techniques. DO NOT attempt to wander about the halls of the museum, lest you suffer the dire consequences. BEWARE
- the air is thick with greed and perhaps ... M U R D E R !
NOTE: "Murder
in the Louvre" is an original copyrighted play written several
years before "The daVinci Code". Our
play is completely original, suspenseful and fun, and bears no
resemblance whatsoever to the fictional "daVinci Code".

THE
YEAR is 1947 and you are attending a special dinner where 4 show biz
celebrities are being honored by the eccentric old millionaire: Hunter S. Duckworth. You will
witness the first-ever national broadcast of a new radio show airing for the first time,
courtesy of Mr. Duckworth.

Scuttlebutt says the "Old Coot" hasn't been himself lately, but
during a recent lucid
period, he was sane enough
to organize an
impressive dinner
party for his famous friends. Many experts predict a listening audience
of well over 3 million radio fans across the U.S.
Over a soft backbeat of BIG BAND tunes, the
radio announcer will kick off the show with a short speech that will acknowledge celebrities
like Helen Hywater, Betty Malone, Russell Sprout, and Chip Slater. So, only one question remains
will revenge rear its ugly head
tonight
.or possibly - dare we even
say - MURDER?
