Play On1 by Rick Abbot
A plucky amateur dramatic theatre is about to produce a show called Murder Most Foul, a new murder mystery play with the same title as an Agatha Christie novel but with no relation to it whatsoever. The director/theatre manager, Gerry, thought producing the play was a good idea since the inexperienced playwright has agreed to let the company perform the show for no charge. Gerry, however, has no idea what disasters awaited her: the show is hilariously amateur, the murder mystery plot doesnt really have a murder, and to top it off the playwright keeps changing the story and script only two days from its premiere! It doesnt help that the cast is disgruntled, and the playwright accidentally deletes the entire sound effect board. All of the disasters come to fruition in Act III when the company performs the actual show with hilarious mishaps at every turn. Its essentially a precursor to the plays that go wrong.
