Ocean City Free Public Library Presents Murder Backstage Play
The Ocean City Free Public Library will be sponsoring a production of Murder Backstage, starring the local theater group the In-House Players. Murder Backstage involves a cast of crazy characters (all of whom have “M” names) who are trying to put on a play. The actresses, Marilyn Mayhem and Marie Maloney, are catty with each other. The lead actor, Monroe Markman, is flamboyant and emotional. The director, Myron Muni, is frustrated with the cast and the script. Martin Marconi, the financial backer, just doesn't understand theater people. And everyone has had a confrontation with, Monty Merryman, the playwright at one point or another. So when someone gets murdered, it’s up to Matt Marshall to solve the mystery. The play will be held in the library’s new lecture room on Sunday July 25th at 2pm. The event is free to the public. Come enjoy a delightful murder mystery. Prizes will be awarded to those who guess the correct killer! For questions, call the library at 399-2434.
