Naz Drama Presents: The Plot, Like Gravy, Thickens
Nazareth Academy is proud to present The Plot, Like Gravy, Thickens, a delightful murder-mystery comedy written by Billy Wayne St. John.
About the Show
The show introduces audiences to Walter, a clever playwright who invites the crowd to help him construct the perfect imaginary murder. A colorful cast of untrustworthy family members, staff, and associates gather for the 50th birthday of the tyrannical millionaire, Edward Worthington III. Driven by greed and desperate for their inheritance, nearly everyone has a motive when the lights suddenly go out and the millionaire is murdered. A sharp-witted detective steps in to crack the case, breaking the fourth wall to enlist the audience's help in questioning suspects and solving the crime before the killer strikes again.
