In a remote mansion, six mysterious guests assemble for an unusual dinner party where murder and blackmail are on the menu. When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects.

Jeffrey found acting and live theatre later in life, getting his first role in Beauty and the Beast at age 36. He has been in several productions here at Theatrikos, including Lend Me a Tenor, Annie, Elf and Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat. He is thankful for the community he has discovered in the theatrical arts as it has been instrumental in helping him to tackle the depression and anxiety in his life. There is no greater family and community to heal in.

Isaac Mueske (Ensemble) made his way to Flagstaff 8 years ago. While theater was a large part of his childhood, he gave it up when he moved from Minnesota 13 years ago (? that can’t be right, he’s still young!). Luckily, Isaac decided to jump back into it relatively recently, having previously appeared on the Theatrikos stage as a part of Gods Of Comedy and Picasso at the Lapin Agile. When he’s not in rehearsal, Isaac is hiking, playing D&D, or studying. He is incredibly grateful to work with yet another fantastic cast and crew.
