Dead Writer's Society: Shotgun Wedding
June 21, 7 pm
Welcome to the sleaziest wedding Vegas has ever seen. When Boomer—groom, dirt-digger, and all-around scumbag—drops dead at the altar, the ceremony screeches to a halt. Was it Erica, the gold-digging bride just in it for the insurance payout? Or maybe Kimmy, the unstable ex who crashed the party in rhinestones and rage? Between a broke and drunk priest, a shady lounge act, and a valet who sees more than he parks, this wedding’s overflowing with secrets, scandals, and zero loyalty. No one here is innocent. Some just suck less than others.
Join us for a night of disastrous vows, suspicious relatives, and killer drama—because this “I do” ends in “whodunnit?”

Dead Writer's Society: Death by Carrot
June 28, 7 pm
A Superpowered Murder Mystery Comedy
When Earth’s mightiest (and most obnoxious) hero, Captain Overpowered, drops dead after his retirement party, it’s up to hard-boiled Detective Dowd to figure out who—or what—killed him. Was it the moody ninja? The jilted tech genius? The musclebound rival? Or maybe... dessert?
Packed with theatrical flair, superhero satire, and a mystery twist you won’t see coming, this original comedy serves up action, absurdity, and just the right amount of emotional damage. If you love cape dramas, murder mysteries, or watching gifted idiots self-destruct under pressure—this one’s for you.
Come for the costumes. Stay for the crime.
Themed attire encouraged but not required.
