Community Players at Herb Strauss Theater

Contact BIG ARTS Center for tickets

BIG ARTS Community Players present Nick Hall's comedy, Marriage is Murder. Ex-spouses Paul and Polly Butler write murder mysteries together, acting out the crimes - poisoned chocolates, lethal martinis, bodies in a trunk, daggers, and even an axe contribute to the fast-paced hilarity. Their egos take some hits as they strive to outdo each other, learning in the wake of comic twists and turns that marriage, like murder, is in the details.

Single Ticket: $15
Child 17 & Under $5
