A Murder Mystery Audience Participation Event by Lawrence Spinnenweber **
Show Synopsis:
It is 1952 on the set of the wildly popular television comedy, "That's My Suzy", the successful show about the misadventures of a bandleader, his zany wife, and their best friends. Everyone's ratings seem high until the show's overbearing producer is suddenly cancelled. Was it truly and accident? Or did one of the cast or crew have a hand in her cancellation?
Characters:
SUZETTE HUGHES -- Suzette plays Suzy Hernandez on the hit series "That's My Suzy." She is a talented comedienne. She is somewhat critical of others. She is a schemer who will do anything to keep her place and influence on the show.
ERNESTO SANCHEZ -- Ernesto is Suzette's husband both in real life and on TV, playing Enrique Hernandez on "That's My Suzy." Ernesto created the series with Suzette. He is a good businessman and promoter and has a big ego. He, too, will not let anything take away his control and influence.
JOYCE FIELDS -- Joyce plays the Hernandez's neighbor, Maxine Metz. Truth be told, Joyce doesn't like playing second fiddle to Suzette. However, it's taken her years to work her way to this point in her career, and she will do anything to keep the steady work and fame.
GLEN TURNER -- Glen plays Lloyd Metz on the series. He has had a long career as a character actor in the movies. As the movie roles have dried up, Glen needs this job and will do anything not to lose it.
JERRY YOUNG -- Jerry is the director of "That's My Suzy." He has had a long career in the legitimate theater and thinks that television is beneath him. Through his direction, he tries to bring television up to his level, and does so even though no one is willing to make that climb. What secret from his past may derail this plan? And what will he do to keep his position as theatrical mentor to television?
LILLIAN MOORE -- Lillian is one of the script writes on the series. She is tough, sarcastic, and very talented -- and she know all of the above. She is in a career where women are often overlooked. She is tired of being bypassed and is ready to fight her way to the top.
STEPHEN WALKER -- Stephen is also a write for "That's My Suzy." Stephen is a talented writer, but, in contrast to Lillian, he is optimistic, outgoing, and eager. He also has a mega-crush of Lillian. He soon finds out his job may be on the line. He may have to act to secure his position.
VELMA ROBINSON -- Velma is the widow of Charles Robinson, the late producer of "That's My Suzy." After the death of her husband, Velma bullied her way into being named the new producer. Velma tends to bully her way through life and she is quite good at it. What would happen if someone decided to bully back?
