  • Done To Death
    10/14/2022 7:30 pm - 10/14/2022 7:30 pm

    Done To Death

    By Fred Carmichael
    Directed by Aaron and Julie Breford

    Done to Death, by Fred Carmichael, is a mystery-comedy that packs in parodies of every mystery plot, hero, and villain from the golden age of film. The story alternates between reality and imagination as five mystery writers wrestle with the problem of writing a television mystery series.  All around them murders occur and each writer takes a turn at solving them in his/her own style.   Five once famous mystery writers; a couple who only write the most sophisticated of murders, a young author of the James Bond school, a retired writer of the hard hitting method, and an aging queen of the logical murder, involve the audience as they explore their own methods of investigation on a series of murders.

    A whimsical reinvention of Dickens' most beloved Christmas story in wacky rhymed couplets. With zoot fruited juices and binka bird geese, from Bed-Headed Fred to Timmy Loo Hoo, this tale of glorious holiday cheer is similar to something Dr. Seuss might have come up with -- if he ever had his way with the story.

    Story Synopsis:

    It’s Christmas Eve, and a young newspaper reporter on the brink of being fired has been assigned a last-chance story about a typical family Christmas – his family’s Christmas. He goes home to his recently widowed mother, his crazy uncle, his eccentric grandmother, and his battling siblings and their neurotic spouses, who provide no shortage of material. One by one, we learn each family member’s secrets, problems, and dysfunctions, and when they learn that he’s writing an article with some very personal family information, the fruitcake hits the fan. The question is, will the magic of Christmas bring this family back together?
