If you’re looking for a quick comedy that’s easy to produce and full of zany characters, hilarious stage action, and a surprise ending, this one’s for you!  Bad news — in the form of severe thunderstorms and an escaped convict — threatens the guests at the Come On Inn of Nova Scotia.  By the end of the day, gung-ho aerobics instructor Billie Body is mysteriously murdered during a power outage.  Was it the cook’s lemonade that poisoned her, or did someone else have a hand in Body’s death?  Who would have the audacity to commit murder under so many noses?  Inspector Black, on the scene in search of the escaped convict, has his job cut out for him.  As the winds howl, suspicions rage — from Garth the gardener (who weeds with an axe) to an inept doctor on holiday from malpractice suits to a hairdresser who constantly changes her appearance — everyone has a hidden motive to want Billie Body dead.  After all, she does have abs “to die for”!  Take your audience by storms of laughter with the silly saga of No Body to Murder!

Hear what directors and critics are saying:

I just wanted to tell you what a joy it has been to work with my cast on your show.  We have had moments in the rehearsal process where we had to stop and just laugh for a while.  Your show gives our actors a chance to be creative in their roles.  Dan Rodriguez, Maple Avenue UMC, Terra Haute, IN


It was fun, witty, good size cast, simple set, even amount of lines for all of the characters and easy to produce in a week with only four hours a day!  Plus the audience and cast loved it!


If you like surprise endings, this one’s for you! Bev Bradley, Lyon Middle School, Overton, NV


We loved producing No Body to Murder.  We had so much fun with the characters and witty lines during rehearsal, and enjoyed the great reception of our audiences at performance. Sonja Parson, Thunder Ridge Middle School, Centennial, CO
