Getting Murdered In The Morning A murder mystery comedy play

Setting: A Wedding Reception 
Cast Total: 12 7-males 5-females
Guests at reception = Your audience

During the garter toss at Brenda and Eddie's Wedding Reception, a mysterious man falls dead on the dance floor. He appears to be shot. But how? From Where? And oh yea... Why?

 Luckily the bride's father -the wealthy Harold Montague -invited Damage control expert Mr. Parker to the event. Parker tries "spinning" the murder as "nothing to worry about" but Society columnist Mary Berger insists "something be done". Something like - hold the presses because this could be the "Society Scandal" of the year.

Not only was a man shot during the garter toss but it seems the mysterious Dead Man has ties to both the Groom and Bride's family. Secrets that both sides do not wish to reveal. None the less, with some persuasion of Mr. Parker, the reception continues as planned and the Murder Mystery takes a back seat. For a while.

Setting for this play is ideal for a banquet hall or similar environment where the cast and audience are all seated together as if at a Wedding Reception.
