Hi all!

I know there are a few Murder Mystery discussions floating around, but I thought I'd throw out my specific needs and see what everyone suggests.
Here goes: I need a murder mystery comedy; it needs to be around 45 mins - 1 hour 15mins long; it has to be pretty "clean" as it is being done at a Christian college;and I would love one where the audience chooses the ending, but that is not an essential point!

Thanks in advance!

My murder mystery, "The Man in Seat 24 or (The Uninvited Guest)," has a cast of 15- 8 females and 7 males- and is published by Brooklyn Publishers.
     Synopsis: An irate, rude, and combative theatre patron (in your audience!) hijacks the cast, the crew, and his fellow theatre-goers and winds up stone cold dead at center stage." The Man in Seat 24 Or (The Uninvited Guest)" is a murder mystery, a play-within-a-play, where a harried and frazzled theatre director investigates a murder--during a night of theatre gone wrong--and realizes that there is more to this evening’s performance than meets the eye.
     Note: There is an optional audience participation section in Act 2 and five imbedded actors in the actual audience.
Good luck in your search,
Martin

Look at Busybody by Popplewell available from French. We did it 3 years ago and the audience really loved it.

Murder Takes the Stage is a pretty funny and clean show.

I've written 8 murder mystery plays, all funny and clean.  The most popular one is Death by Chocolate.  It has 6 actors and then 3 audience members get to be part of the cast, reading from sides.  The script allows room for improv.  The audience gets to quiz the suspects.  Contact me if you want to know more. 
Don't become so consumed with yourself that you forget the importance of family and friends, and service to God and your community.
