size="2">CVLT has produced over a hundred musicals since 1930. In
honor of the 80th Season, over a dozen familiar leading characters from
these musicals have been summoned to the stage for a benefit concert.
This odd array of personalities makes life hell for the director and
stage manager, but the situation takes a fatal turn when one of these
famous characters commits a murder!<br>
<br>
Who's to blame? Was it the gunslinging 'Curly' from <i>Oklahoma</i>?
Perhaps the lunatic swordsman 'Don Quixote' from <i>Man of La Mancha</i>?
And what about the bloody-handed 'Maria' from <i>West Side Story</i>
or the overbearing 'Mama Rose' from <i>Gypsy</i>? It's up to the
audience to help 'Inspector Gotcha' and 'Detective Ketchum' crack the
case at our highly popular annual fundraiser event! </font></p>
