Whidbey Playhouse 

Thank you for your continued support of the Whidbey Playhouse, especially during the “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” mandate from the Governor. As you know we had to cancel the rest of the 2019-2020 season which meant our wonderful actors, directors, set-builders and other production volunteers were not able to bring to the stage, “Musical Comedy Murders of 1940” and “Clue: The Musical”.

​

While the Playhouse has been closed to the public, the board of directors along with the committee chairs, our temporary Office Manager and Marketing Manager, have been working on plans for the 2020-2021 season; virtual educational opportunities for our youth and adults; addressing fiscal challenges related to the canceling of the remainder of the 2019-2020 season and much more.

Musical Comedy Murders of 1940  

CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19

Snowed in at their wealthy patron’s Westchester estate, a creative team reunites to launch a new show – stalked by the “Stage Door Slasher,” who haunted their last Broadway flop. (NOT a musical. YES a comedy!)

​

An ingenious and wildly comic romp which enjoyed a long and critically hailed run both on and Off-Broadway. Poking antic fun at the more ridiculous aspects of “show biz” and the corny thrillers of Hollywood’s heyday, the play is a non-stop barrage of laughter as those assembled (or at least those who aren’t killed off) untangle the mystery of the “Stage Door Slasher.” “…a kind of crossbreeding of Charles Ludlam (The Mystery of Irma Vep) and Terrence McNally (It’s Only a Play) seasoned with a soupçon of Noises Off.” —NY Times. “…enormous fun…Its strength comes in part from the sheer diamond wit and diamante showbiz glitter of Bishop’s writing. Even his corn is succulently served.” —NY Post. “…Bishop gives us a nakedly silly and relentlessly convoluted murder-mystery plot, with twist piled on twist till you have to give way and start laughing at the silliness… it’s hugely enjoyable.” —Village Voice. “MURDERS is the intelligent person’s kind of nonsense.” —NY Magazine.

CLUE The Musical

CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19

Who killed Mr. Boddy, in what room, and with what weapon?

The audience receives forms to help them deduce the solution from clues given throughout the fun-filled evening. Three audience members choose from cards representing the potential murderers, weapons, and rooms; there are 216 possible solutions! Only one hard-nosed female detective is qualified to unravel the merry mayhem. Comic antics, witty lyrics, and a beguiling score carry the investigation from room to room. Even after the culprit confesses, a surprise twist delights the audience.
