Voted “Best Comedy of the Year” seven times by the Boston Globe!
This unique comic-whodunit takes place today in the “Shear Madness” hairstyling salon. During the course of the action, a murder is committed and the audience gets to spot the clues, question the suspects and solve the funniest mystery seen on stage. The outcome is never the same, which is why many audience members return again and again to the scene of the mayhem. Rated PG.

A young law student moves in with her sweet and innocent grandmother only to learn that Granny is running a lingerie business for sexy seniors out of her New York apartment.
