MURDER, MAYHEM
  & MOVIE STARS!  ©

Welcome to the fabulous 1929 Hollywood Awards Ceremony! On behalf of your hosts, Movie Director Otto Ratts, and Hollywood Gossip Columnist Starla Snoop, and all of our Stars, we'd like to thank you in advance for your help in judging tonight's acting contest. After all, the star's adoring public should be the ones to decide who will win the coveted "BEST MOVIE STARS" awards. Right? And maybe it wouldn't hurt to meet the stars and get to know a little bit about them before you vote... or maybe it would. Oh well, too late to rewrite the script now. And the nominees are...

... And the Sequel!!!

“Gone” With The Wine! © 

The long awaited premier party for Otto Ratts'  much talked about epic movie about the historic south is finally here!!! Marred by financial setbacks, marital problems, casting problems, and, of course, there was that little matter of the murder, many thought that this movie just wasn’t happening! In spite of it all, Otto managed to pull it off, with a new business partner, new star (kind of a package deal) same wife, etc. Anyway, please join us, darling, everyone who is anyone will be there!!!

Audience members are guests at a movie premier party set in 1931 and will judge a movie scene contest.                                                                                                                                                                      Running time approx 2 1/2 hours (with dinner).

... And the Sequel to that!!!       

       MURDER: TAKE TWO!©    

                             

All of the biggest names in 1940 Hollywood are back tonight to audition for Fiasco Pictures’ sure-to-be Box-Office Hit, The Maltese Chicken. With Lamont L’Amour already signed to play leading man, Spam Slade, it’s anybody’s guess who the leading lady might be. Penelope Purr, wife of Director Otto Ratts, is certain the role is hers, although Otto’s niece, Mitzi has her own fans pulling for her. But I think the stars’ real concern is newcomer, Kathryn Heartburn. And when movie stars get concerned, anything is liable to happen. Please join us and help judge the auditions for leading lady. At least that way the stars will have somebody else to blame everything on. Of course we’re just kidding, surely nothing will go wrong at the audition…..

Audience members are guests at a movie audition set in 1940 and will judge a movie scene audition. Three  Audience members will also participate in the  audition.      

Running time approx 2 1/2 hours (with dinner).
8 characters: 4 male, 4 female                                                                                                                                  Set needs: 1 small table & 2 chairs

The wild west of the 1890’s is alive again in Boneyard Gulch (Oklahoma Territory), where, at the notorious Madam Yahoo’s Saloon, a town meetin’ is bein’ held this very evening to elect a new mayor. Not that there’s anything wrong with the old mayor. In fact, incumbent Angus Bovine is on the ballot, determined to put his opponent, the School Marm, “Miss” Fanny Swatter, in her place once and for all. But don’t worry about any trouble breakin’ out, ‘cos Marshall Law and Deputy Willie Jitters will be there to maintain order...well, at least they’ll be there. Please come to the meetin’, we need all the registered voters we can get! (or non registered is okay too, we’re just not real fussy in Boneyard Gulch!)

DESPERATE HOMICIDES 

  Come One, Come All! The upstanding citizens of Hysteria Lane (and a few misfits) are gathering this evening for a talent show to honor the retiring police chief.  We’re also donating the ticket sale proceeds to help poor Chief Smirnoff get a much needed liver transplant – but enough about his sad situation.  It’s time for fun and good feuds …  oops, we mean good food.  And if we know our hostess, Monica Monarch, (which most of us unfortunately do) there’ll also be a few surprises.  But please don't mention the way Monica’s late husband died. That’s a really touchy subject... and maybe for more than just her?  But enough about her tragic past. It's time for fun and good … well, you know the routine! Just come enjoy the talent show and help the Chief solve a mystery…oops, we mean get a new liver.  Anyway… hope to see  you there!

      NEWS, WEATHER,  &  CORPSE!

Widow Beulah Bell Blooper cordially invites you to attend the memorial dinner for KAOS TV’s (former) Anchorman, the late Scoop Blooper. Attending will be all of the KAOS-TV 13 personalities, as well as Scoop’s co-workers and friends, (if he had any). Well...co-workers anyway, because  KAOS Station Manger Hooch Brewski made employee attendance mandatory. In addition to the memorial toast, Hooch is planning to make a major announcement after dinner. Could it be regarding Scoop’s successor? Sure hope he’s given this some serious thought, it’d be a shame to ruin Scoop’s last party. Anyway, we’re hoping to give “The Big Blooper” a pleasant, uneventful send-off. But just in case we don’t, we could use all the witnesses we can get! You know, with egos and lawsuits and all….
