QCPAG (Quail Creek Performing Arts Guild) will be performing Out of Sight … Out of Murder, one of the late Fred Carmichael’s fabulously funny and cleverly crafted plays. A matinee is planned for Thursday, May 1, at 3 p.m., with 7 p.m. shows on Friday, May 2, and Saturday, May 3, in the Madera clubhouse ballroom. The bar will be open an hour before each showtime.
Peter Knight is grinding out a murder story in an old mansion where another author was murdered years before. A weird electrical storm effects a cosmic snafu, and his characters come to life. There’s the lovely ingénue, the trusty butler, a feisty character woman, a dauntless hero, a fascinating “other woman,” the always-pregnant serving girl, and the wily lawyer waiting for midnight to read the will.
Peter loses control of his characters, and there is a murder. The intended victim is Peter. Other murders follow, and the culprit is among the characters who, having also worked for other authors, know a great deal about the subject. Can Peter find the killer before the killer gets his author? Is romance with the ingénue leading anywhere? Where is the fortune mentioned in the will? All is solved ingeniously with romance, suspense, and cosmic wit.
Tickets are just $20 each with cabaret seating of tables of eight (somewhere to place your drink while laughing throughout the show).
