Saskatoon's Dinner Theatre

Murder in the Wings Event Promo

"It was an hilarious murder/comedy that kept the audience on their toes and also in stitches. The script was crisp and entertaining. Fast moving."
— Anne Stumhofer, Family Theatre, Columbus, Georgia

Ever try to throw a party an hour after the host has been murdered? It's not as easy as it sounds!

As editor of the Wings Publishing Company, Maddie discovers her boss has met with an untimely death just before a contract-signing party that will save the business. Tyrolia, Kitty and Doris, the in-house staff, react with their usual grace. Tyrolia starts looking for another job, Kitty keeps trying to hide the body and Doris has an urge for doughnuts. All they have to do is keep the murder under wraps until notorious author Lionel Upshaw signs a contract, bringing about a new loan from J.B. Odell which will save the company. Of course, there's the fact that someone at the party is also the murderer.

Throw in the problems of Nelva Odell finding the body, a television crew showing up to tape the festivities and, last but not least, the arrival of the late boss' new fiancée. Add a hack writer who unwittingly helps to get rid of the evidence, an actress turned caterer whose crab puffs keep crawling off, and a janitor who carries a gun and It's Murder in the Wings!

** Pre-sale for MFT Season Pass Holders begins Aug. 12 and ends Aug. 25 @ 6pm. **

** Tickets go on sale to the general public Aug. 26. **

Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois

Proud to be part of Saskatoon's live theatre community

Over a century of combined theatre experience was brought together by a handful of Saskatoon actors, directors, and production managers when Mini Fridge Theatre Company was formed in 2016. With credits spanning a number of local and international stage, screen, and television productions, the company’s founding members wanted to find a way to foster local talent while using comedy to bring a light and fun atmosphere back to the Saskatoon theatre scene.

Mini Fridge Theatre is committed to supporting accessible — yet hilarious — live theatre events and developing diverse talent of all ages. Founded with a vision to cultivate and showcase Saskatoon actors, directors, set artists, sound operators and wardrobe designers, stage managers and more, Mini Fridge brings newcomers and experienced artists together to entertain and entice theatre-loving patrons in this city of bridges that we all call home.

Previous MFT seasons have included shows such as Unnecessary Farce, Ken Ludwig's The Game's Afoot (or Holmes for the Holidays), The Ladies Foursome, See How They Run, Weekend Comedy, Don't Dress for Dinner, The Foreigner and the female version of The Odd Couple.

If you're looking for things to do in Saskatoon, make your next date night or staff party an event to remember! Enjoy amazing food and laughs with Saskatoon’s dinner theatre!
