Death by Dessert
Two Shows: 9-6 (Dinner Buffet) & 9-7 (Brunch Buffet)
The Bull Run & Cannon Theatre present “DEATH BY DESSERT”
Written by Nathan Hartswick and Performed by the Cannon Theatre
In New York’s “Little Italy”, the Donnaducce and Duccedonni families have been feuding for generations - although no one is actually sure why. The feud is made even more bitter since they also operate separate but competing Italian restaurants - that just happen to share a common wall!
As the show begins, the building’s landlord, Maria is found lying dead at center stage. Flashing back in time, Maria narrates the story that leads up to her death. Who killed her and why? Was it someone from the Donnaducce family – Don (the head of da family and owner of the restaurant), Nino (the fiery head chef), or one of Don’s idiot henchmen sons – Frankie or Louie? Or could it have been someone from the Duccedonna family – Donna (da family matriarch and restaurant owner), Nina (the sensitive artist and head chef), or one of Donna’s flighty daughters – Francie or Louise? Even the restaurant waiters and staff are implicated.
See if you can help Maria solve her murder and discover the truth behind the feud that has driven these families apart – before someone else is killed!
The Cannon Theatre was founded by Shawn Cannon and Bret Bahe, who shared a dream of creating a community theater as a place for learning and performing great plays, a place where people could enjoy the company of others, laugh, and just lose themselves in the joy of artistic expression.
9/6 Dinner Buffet: Bread, Mixed Green Salad, Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo, Eggplant Lasagna, Fettuccine, Assorted Mini Desserts & Coffee.
9/7 Brunch Buffet: Fresh Fruit, Pastries, Scrambled Eggs, French Toast, Bacon & Home Fries. Coffee, tea & juice.
