Lone Star Murder Mystery Dinner & Show

“No Home for the Holidays” Show Synopsis

It’s Christmas time and the not-so-favorite happy homemaker Martha Seward is busy bustling around town making everyone else look bad.  ‘Tis the season! So what if she’s ruined Cleo’s business, broken Bert’s heart, and ignored every fire code imaginable leaving Claude in a tizzy? There isn’t time to worry about any of that because the next Christmas Contest is about to start.  The town is ablaze…and so is Martha’s house…and she’s still in it! This ain’t no accident, and it’s up to Marshal Jim Courtright to find out who roasted Martha on an open fire.

Character Descriptions

 Marshal Jim Courtright – Christmas is usually this likeable lawman’s favorite time of year, but Martha is stirring up trouble and she doesn’t even have a spoon. He knows he better get things under control or the town’s golden goose is about to be roasted. 

Martha Seward – She’s practically perfect in every way, and she’ll be the first to tell you. Christmas is her favorite time of year, and why wouldn’t it be?  She organizes, competes, and wins all the contests…quite an impossible feat.  No one knows how she does it all.  It’s like she’s always two places at once!

Claude – Rule #1: Follow the rules. As the town’s Chief Fire Marshal, Claude has no patience for hooligans that disregard policies, even if it’s someone as self-important as Martha Seward. But don’t panic, if things get out of control, he’ll panic enough for everyone. Has Martha driven him so far over the edge that he decided to extinguish her flame once and for all?  

Bert – This simple chimney sweep loves Martha more than soot itself.  But she’s colder than a snow-covered rooftop one minute and warmer than a cozy fire the next.  She’s got him more confused than a chameleon in a bag of Skittles. But this Christmas, Bert is done playing reindeer games.  Either she makes up her mind, or he’ll do it for her.

Cleo Fox – The newest town resident, Miss Fox will dazzle you with her gifts as a clairvoyant. Need to ask Pawpaw one last question from the other side?  She’ll be happy to oblige…for a small fee. Business would be booming if Martha weren’t running her off prime real estate just for another Christmas tree…or twenty. Perhaps she plans to talk to Martha from the great beyond sooner rather than later.
