Our Upcoming Show is
OCCUPATION MURDER!

OCCUPATION: MURDER! is an INTERACTIVE MURDER MYSTERY!
​
When the rehearsal begins for the TV quiz show It's a Living! who would suspect that before the telecast is over, the hardest problem to solve would be “Who Killed Tony Fabrizi, the show’s sponsor?” And why was he murdered? Was it for the diamond bracelet he had brought for the commercial, or was he shot for personal reasons? Homicide detective Lt. Jim Slate discovers that most of the TV show's cast had motives to murder the man - or could it have been his Italian wife with the fiery temper? Perhaps she knew about her husband's involvement with Marilyn, a girl with knockout looks and horrible voice? Rounds of the fictional game show are actually played during the performance using members of the audience on stage as contestants. With the help of Amanda Maxwell, a little old lady amateur sleuth, Lt. Slate solves the murder at the exciting conclusion to OCCUPATION: MURDER!

​LEND ME A THEATER
“Lend Me A Theater” is a traveling performance troupe, comprised of artists who have long spent time doing community theatre in New Hampshire.   Our name pays homage to a show performed in New Hampshire in 2013 where our founders first met, but also signifies that we are “homeless” and constantly searching for a place to perform.  Being untethered, we are challenged to select material that can mold itself to a great variety of venues,  but we are also free to travel wherever the wind blows. 
​
We are a community of thespians who have come together with the goal of producing theatre projects that are fresh, fun, and eclectic.  To that end, we engage artists from all over the state and hope that during any encounter with us, we are improved by the experience.  Beyond our primary purpose of entertaining a wide range of audiences, we also strive to bestow our varied accumulated knowledge and experience to all willing to learn.
