Everyone’s heard of a haunted house. Probably even a haunted theater. But a haunted play? Could it be haunted by the spirit of a man who recently died at the theatre? No... it’s not possible! At least, that’s what theater director Bonnie Bagwell tries to convince the other members of the troupe as writer Colin Chambers hints at the trail of horror that has cursed his script, Ax of Murder. Unfortunately, curiosity gets the best of the actors and, despite Colin’s adamant warnings, they open the script and start reading the play. It soon becomes apparent the play is mirroring their theater and even the specific actors. ’The play changes with each performance,’ Colin intones, though he’s not taken seriously. Read more...

My favorite play from Pioneer Drama so far is Ax of Murder. Particularly great about it was the minimal requirements for costuming, sets, and props. Since it’s set in a modern-day theater and most of the characters are out-of-character actors, I already had almost everything I needed. Emily Lewis, Players in Progress, Sylvania, AL
A fun, easy show to produce, which made it a nice piece to do with a relatively new drama program. Though the set and staging were simple, the myriad sound and lighting effects kept things interesting and left the audience very impressed.
Not only did the kids love the script, but parents and school staff did as well. This was a great script for our kids, appropriate and funny! Kasie Kline, Gateway College Prep School, Georgetown, TX
