SYNOPSIS: The Schnitzel Brothers Circus has entertained children of all ages for generations, but the last Schnitzel brother has passed on to the Big Top in the sky. He did not leave a will, and unless an heir can be found, the circus’ assets will be turned over to the state and it will be sold. As if this weren’t tragic enough, a murder has been committed on the circus midway. Is this the end of the Most Mediocre Show on Earth?

*While not geared towards children, our murder mysteries are family friendly. There will be a murder (implied, offstage) and there will be some flirting between characters. There is no swearing, no violence, and no gore. That said, the interrogation portion of the play is improv and we don't know what questions audience members may ask or how the actors might respond.
