with these brief synopses!
Spring 1995
Treatment for Murder, or The Leaky Pen Episode
A cure for the dreaded Conklin's Disease is being announced, and by
the end of the evening, the brash young intern
(Richard Horsman)
denouncing the fraud is dead. Also starring dancers from the Top Hat
club and Carter Roy as the doctor.
Fall 1995
Election for Murder, or Not Quite in the Line of Fire
At the presidential candidate's fundraiser, the slimy speechwriter
(Brad Johnson) dies after fights with everyone there. Starring Babs
Bilkington and Don Wren.
Spring 1996
Prom for Murder, or Seven Minutes in Heaven
At the Macabee High School prom, everything goes terribly wrong when
the Prom Queen (Deanna Fleysher) turns up
dead. Not just dead, but stabbed, shot, strangled, poisoned, and
choked with a piece of French bread. And not just turns up, but
staggers out, drenched in blood, and takes her crown to the horror of
the assembled students before dying with her two suicide notes on her
body. With the musical talents of Second Coming.
Fall 1996
HUGG's Debut, or Why Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n Roll Are Bad
At the debut of the exciting new rock band's single, "I Love Everything," mayhem
ensues when the band starts fighting. The band, with its biracial sock puppets,
David and Wavid, seems to have come from an insane asylum. With a singer who
wants to be called Keanu (Jeremy Sosenko), Thelonius Mann (Nick Lesiecki) getting
everyone to sell out, and a performance artist girlfriend named Umlaut Fromage
(Gwyneth Connell) (and her "friend", a transvetite dwarf mannequin), there's
enough conflict for the Crimean War. Fortunately, only one person is clubbed
to death with the dwarf. Also, music and laughter. Note: HUGG has an umlaut.
Oh yeah, and lots of bad British accents.
Spring 2000
Gerety TAP, or Why We Love ACEMS
The esteemed President of Amherst College throws the biggest
party of the year, with not-at-all-obvious sinister designs. All hell breaks
loose as the long-standing tensions of small college life boil to the surface,
which would be all right if someone had quickly reduced the heat and removed the
lid. But sadly, no. Academia is dangerous when cooked like pasta. As Professor
Downwitcha's (Nick Lesiecki) bad acid trip causes him to butt-heads with a
physics student consumed (literally) by his thesis (Tristan Jeffers), frat boy
Fitch Abercrombie (Ben Hopkins) clashes with hippy Siddhartha Ganja (Owen Muir).
Meanwhile the vegan (Sarah Dasher), the militant (Kate Follett), and the
party-girl (Sarah Cassel) prove not to be what they seem. The beer is warm, your blood runs cold, the bear (Mario Rojas) gets lucky, and
the sketchy Russian T.A. (Brad Tytel) is homicidal. When the dust settles, one
lay dead. Ok, it's the pre-frosh (Gwyneth Connell). But believe us, she had it
coming.
