New Vintage Theatre is pleased to present Canadian Doug Greenall’s popular 1980’s murder mystery Dead Serious at Creekside Theatre this October, just in time to celebrate Hallowe’en.

Dead Serious is the chilling story of an unusual family who run a lakeside retreat, The Blackfly Lodge,that becomes the epicentre of an unsolved murder.  Eve, the proprietor and matriarch of the family is a recovering drug addict who has turned to an extreme religion for solace and taken the leader, Ted, a quick tempered leader of the local chapter, into her home and bedroom.  Her two young adult children Tracey and Seymour are equally suspicious-it seems that they have played something they call “The Game” since childhood.  Add in staff members Grant and Ralph, both young handsome men who have secret crushes on Tracey and you have the making of a great who dun it jump in your seat worthy as some of the best murder mysteries around.

Starring Bailey Strand, Adam Weaver, Leah McMullen, Doug Brown, Peter MacLeod and James Szabo, this killer cast is directed by local favorite actress Ashley Plomp in her directorial debut. Featuring an incredible two story authentic lake house set and compelling performances by a dynamic cast –Dead Serious is a play with a short run that is not to be missed. Mark your calendars and see it while you can.
