Memories, Murder and Dinner Theatre

Alchemist Theatre’s next October horror show keeps rolling around the shady corners of my mind. A horror drama that covers the entire building at Alchemist’s address is a respectably ambitious project. Those interested in something similarly immersive and interactive a little bit sooner than next October need look no further than Port Washington next week.

Memories Dinner Theatre will be hosting a project by the Wisconsin Actor’s Ensemble next week. Eileen Moushey’s Audition For Murder is an interactive murder mystery WAE is staging for dinner theatre. A group of actors show-up to audition to be extras in a film. Naturally, the group, “find themselves cast in the middle of a horrific scene that suddenly turns very, very deadly.”

Audition For Murder is part of a 30-script catalogue of shows written by Ohio-based playwright Eileen Moushey. A twenty-year veteran of interactive drama, Moushey’s other works include All My Murders, Murder at the Company Party, Murder in 3-D, Murder, Medium-Rare, Murder By Magic, Win, Lose Or Die! and Séance At (Your Location.)

For those interested in getting a feel for the style and pacing of the show, a review script of Audition is available from Murders By Moushey online. Okay, so it doesn’t exactly read like Dashiell Hammett, but it looks like a fun murder show in Port Washington for those in the right frame of mind.

Wisconsin Actors Ensemble’s production of Audition For Murder runs January 14^th and 15^th at Memories Dinner Theatre on 1077 Lake Drive in Port Washington. Both shows start at 7:45pm. Tickets for dinner and the show are $25 and can be purchased online at Ticketleap.
