SUMMER STOCK MURDER Music and Lyrics by Kingsley Day, book by Philip Lazebnik and Kingsley Day from an idea by Paul Hough SYNOPSIS The place is the Sagautasac Playhouse, a repertory theatre in the USA. Various shows are being rehearsed - an operetta, a Cole Porter potpourri and a Sondheim-type musical drama - and in this highly-strung atmosphere actors start dropping dead like nine-pins! Crisis after crisis looms, with, not only murders, but loony star actors to cope with. So, will the show go ahead? Will any of the actors survive to the final curtain? Who is the murderer? All will be revealed in this hilarious whodunnit musical.
