Welcome to Deadline—a murder mystery comedy that proves even murder can be funny... when the right group of suspects is involved.
From the very beginning, this cast approached the show with a sense of play, constantly finding new moments of comedy hidden in the chaos and confusion. Rehearsals were filled with laughter—sometimes at the script and sometimes at each other. The mystery may be dark, but the process of bringing this story to life has been anything but.
What makes Deadline so much fun is how it leans into the absurdity of a classic whodunit: wild accusations, dramatic reveals, and characters who all seem just a little too guilty. The cast has had a blast leaning into the ridiculous, crafting performances that are just the right mix of over-the-top and strangely believable.
And if the set feels like it sprang up overnight—it almost did. This entire production came together at breakneck speed, with the set built in just two weeks. That kind of turnaround doesn’t happen without a dedicated team working long hours and keeping spirits high. Thank you Stage Crew! Somehow, in the middle of the madness, everything clicked.
The result? A show that keeps you guessing, keeps you laughing, and maybe even keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Thank you for joining us—enjoy the mystery, and don’t trust anyone.
