Performances of the comedic murder mystery, “Curtains,” will run from March 7 to March 30 at Coronado Playhouse.
Set in the bustling world of theater in 1959, “Curtains” opens on a dramatic night at Boston’s Colonial Theatre, where the cast of the new musical “Robbin’ Hood” is taking their first bows. But when the talentless leading lady mysteriously drops dead during her curtain call, the show’s success hangs in the balance.
Enter Detective Frank Cioffi, a charmingly quirky investigator with a deep love for musical theatre. With the entire cast and crew as potential suspects, Cioffi must uncover the killer while navigating backstage rivalries, romantic entanglements and the pressures of making the struggling production Broadway-ready.
“At its heart, ‘Curtains’ is about artists finding resilience and connection through their work,” said Elissa Russell, the director. “It’s a love letter to the magic of putting on a musical—even when things go terribly (and hilariously) wrong.”
Performances will run from March 7 to March 30 at 8 p.m. on Thursdays through Saturdays. Matinee showings will also occur at 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
Single tickets are $27 for all performances and there are discounts available for active duty military, students and seniors. During San Diego Performing Arts League Theatre month in March, tickets are two for $45.
