A 1920s MURDER MYSTERY Created by the Delta Stageworks Theatre Company, with Jeff Gladstone, Director
What a show! Delta Stageworks Theatre rave-reviewed A 1920s Murder Mystery had a sold-out comeback run at the Southlands Red Barn Feb 26-28! Set in Delta during the roaring 1920s and based on real people and local events from the US Prohibition era, this improv-style show had audiences guessing who the killer is on one fateful night at Pansy May’s “Goat Ranch” — a cabaret perched on the border between Delta and Point Roberts — when a rum-running operation goes terribly wrong.
Led by award-winning improviser Jeff Gladstone (Tightrope Theatre) and featuring Delta Stageworks actors and musicians, this immersive theatre experience with 10 performers made for a fantastic night of local history intrigue and 1920s glitz!
