Acting Can Be Murder

After fleeing a failed relationship in New York, actress Leah Sexton finds herself as the new Executive Director of the Como Lake Players–a small community theater nestled in a sleepy St. Paul neighborhood. The initial calm of this new position is shattered immediately when a local critic–who had just panned the theater’s latest production of Dial M for Murder–is found murdered on the show’s set. Acting Can be Murder is centered around a community theatre with a striking resemblance to Theatre in the Round Players, complete with clever in-jokes and a warm satire of local theatre makers and lovers.
