Village of Orland Park Theater Troupe to Present 'Occupation Murder!'

Summer murder mystery to include audience participation.

On the heels of the triumphant spring performance of Peter Pan, the Orland Park Theater Troupe aims to delight audiences with their summer production of “Occupation Murder,” written by Billy St. John and produced in cooperation with Eldridge Plays and Musicals.

“We are thrilled to bring back the murder mystery, audience participation production,” said Producer/Director Frann Carnivele.

“During the show, 10 members of the audience will be asked to be part of the murder mystery while the entire audience will be asked take a guess to point out the murderer,” explained Carnivele.  “We have been rehearsing for six weeks and, since the show allows for ad libbing, it makes for a new, fun and more entertaining experience each time it is performed.”
