Whodunit, howdunit. When famous actress Primavera Donna throws a party and winds up dead, it's up to the guests to figure out who and how, and why the hired help is so annoying.

BOB'S DATE

Bob, who's not actually in the play, is going on his first date in two years. All of his manly inner attributes: Logic, Confidence, Nerves, Libido, and Bull are gearing up for the event. Then a love-at-first-sight moment wakes long-sleeping Emotion, and she threatens to throw the night into chaos. But if the men weren't ready to handle Emotion, then they're certainly not...

Along the way, Danny encounters bad guys, big...

At rise, the building's landlord is dead at center stage, and everyone is suspect – from the old-world Italian...

GOING UP?

Imagine you are suddenly trapped in an elevator and you cannot get away! Going Up? chronicles the hilarious struggles of passengers trapped in three separate elevator cars during a New York City power outage. From a fitness freak to an overly calm psychologist, to an OCD germ-a-phobe and a non-stop chatter box this show is filled with colorful characters and outrageous...
