In roaring twenties Chicago, chorine Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband, Amos, to take the rap... until he finds out he's been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another "Merry Murderess," Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the "American Dream": fame, fortune, and acquittal.

An Original Audience Participation Program

Written and Directed by Paul Warshauer

Bring the whole family to get into the Christmas Spirit!

With only a few days before Christmas, the North Pole discovers that Santa is missing and it’s up to you, our audience members, to figure out Whodunit. During the performance, the audience reviews the clues, alibis, and motives for the usual suspects. Is it an inside job meaning that Mrs. Claus, the Elves or Reindeer are involved? Could it be some of the other holidays who are jealous that Santa gets most of the attention, such as Uncle Sam from the 4th of July, the Easter Bunny, Turkel the Thanksgiving Turkey, Wanda,The Halloween Witch, Lucky, the St. Patrick Leprechaun, or Punxsutawney Phil the Groudhog? Rememeber, you must help us solve the mystery to save Christmas!
