Alex’s solo directorial debut at the Oregon Cabaret Theatre, this farce is a love letter to the 1985 film. Filled with colorful characters and zany hijinks, you’ll find yourself laughing non-stop as you watch the mystery unfold.

“The campy, zany and elaborately funny stage adaptation of the popular board game opened Friday at Oregon Cabaret Theatre in Ashland. Cleverly directed by Alex Boyles, this show is an exercise in kinetic energy and inspired silliness, with a talented, energized ensemble cast that absolutely commits to the inanity with all the screwball spirit of a Marx Brothers routine.” – Kathleen Alaks, Grants Pass Daily Courier

“The murder mystery at Oregon Cabaret Theatre is drop-dead funny” – Lee Juillerat, Ashland News
