A Grave Misunderstanding
Written by R. Aaron Thompson
As Adapted by Betsy Hansen and Russell Silber
Produced by Jerri Wiseman
Directed by Betsy Hansen
Cast: Evie Izdepski, Ilan Komrad, and Russell Silber
Tonight, we of Wollstonecraft Village gather in a candlelight vigil for our two departed teens, Rex and Alaura – to honor the love they had for each other despite their differences. (One was a witch and the other a werewolf.) Why, even their respective families have put aside their feud for this moment of community healing. But wait! Lenore Thornwick believes that their deaths were no accident! With the help of a surfer zombie and a vampire mayor, she’s going to prove it! It’s Dynasty meets The Munsters (with a dash of Romeo and Juliet)! Come join us for: A Grave Misunderstanding!
Murder Meter™ Classic Whodunnit
Performances will be held at area historic venues, restaurants, wineries, and breweries October – November 2026.
Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute to Commit Murder with Us!
Reservations received early help make the show happen! We make final catering and event decisions approximately one week before each performance based on the number of guests booked. If you’re planning to join us, please reserve early rather than waiting for the final few days.
But if the show is still accepting reservations, it’s not too late! Even a day or two before the performance, check for available seats. We’re happy to welcome more suspects right up until we’re sold out.
