The Games Afoot at Murphys Creek Theatre Through December 15th
Murphys, CA...Murder? …Maybe. Mayhem? …A distinct possibility. Hilarity? Definitely! Take a suspense thriller worthy of Sherlock Holmes, wrap it in a stylish screwball comedy, set it at Christmastime and you get the holiday whodunnit “The Game’s Afoot”. William Gillette, a Broadway superstar famous the world over for his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes, has invited fellow cast members to his opulent home for a holiday dinner party. But when one of the guests winds up dead, Gillette finds himself at the center of a mystery that might have stumped Holmes himself and now he must summon every ounce of Sherlock to solve the mystery.
Just for the record…There really was a William Gillette. He really did become immensely wealthy by writing and performing in a play about Sherlock Holmes. He really created the image of the great detective that we hold dear today. But that’s where any semblance of reality ends.
It’s Holmes for the Holidays this Christmas season! Who did it? Who will be next?
See “The Game’s Afoot” and find out. And have yourself a hearty holiday laugh too

Reviews
“An inspired whodunit […] a snappy, clever drawing-room mystery. There are twists in playwright Ken Ludwig’s The Game’s Afoot that cause the audience to gasp.” – The Cleveland Plain Dealer
“The Game’s Afoot is Murderously Funny!” – Broadway World Cleveland
“The play evolves like a mystery thriller, as one tantalizing clue leads to another […] In 1936, at the height of the Great Depression, people flocked to the theater for a few hours of escapism from hard times. Today, in our current recession, here is an antidote and the ideal holiday present – the gift of laughter.” – Cleveland Jewish News
“Ludwig demonstrates the theatrical equivalent of perfect pitch, both in this new work and in his past efforts.” – Cleveland Scene
“From the intriguing opening mini play within a play to the surprise last scene a split second before final curtain, The Game’s Afoot gives you everything you love about great live theatre. Billed as a comedy thriller you will find yourself swept along for a wild and funny ride.” – Cleveland Examiner
“A hilarious, quirky and thrilling alternative to your standard holiday entertainment. The Game’s Afoot is the perfect gift for the holidays..a fantastically fun night out at the theatre. It’s something we can be proud of as a city” – ClueintoCleveland.com
“The Game’s Afoot will be performed by professional and community theaters across the country. Certainly this production is Broadway quality.” – TalkinBroadway.com
This event repeats weekly every Sunday until 12/15/2019

The "Games a foot in murphys" does not mean we can shoot the tourist folks.
And since they've found us and the days of peace and quiet are long gone, would anybody ever like to get together for coffee, breakfast, lunch or anything to find our next place of a peaceful place to live? It seems most of California is now a waste, and of time.
Myself, I'd prefer on the western part of this great country, just not within a "sanctuary" state where they want and give illegals more help then US citizens.
Bless you all who want the same

Head to Idaho or Montana, just make sure you let em know your a Californian who's sick of California and your planning on dragging all your nimby, petty , coastal elitist , white flight baggage with you.
Make sure you comment on how " cheap " gas, real estate, and cost of living is once your there. Open arms out in big sky country they love Californians ...
Good luck kemosabe!
