About the Show
The story unfolds during a meeting of the Fleur Estates Manor Association, where an odd collection of neighbors gathers to discuss neighborhood business. Among them are a conspiracy theorist, curious residents and a councilman who moonlights as an Elvis impersonator.
But before Elvis can leave the building, he turns up dead. Enter Agent McManshon, a mysterious federal agent who seems to know more about the situation than she is willing to share. As the investigation unfolds, secrets surface and suspicions rise, the audience plays a role in solving this comedic plot of murder.
 
“Dinner theatre is one of my favorite ways to bring people together,” said Denise Bell, NFC Student Activities Coordinator and director of the production. “A Plot of Murder is full of quirky characters, comedy and surprises, and the best part is that the audience gets to be part of solving the mystery.”
