A new murder mystery musical is set to debut in Chalmette, Louisiana, a suburb of New Orleans. The interactive theater production will invite audience members to help solve a fictional crime as the story unfolds on stage.

Why it matters

The murder mystery format is also expected to attract both theater enthusiasts and casual audiences looking for a unique night out.

The details

The murder mystery musical is the creation of local playwright Aubry Killion, who drew inspiration from the rich history and culture of the Chalmette area. The production will feature an ensemble cast of actors who will guide the audience through the unfolding mystery, with attendees encouraged to ask questions, examine clues, and ultimately determine the culprit.

  • The event is scheduled for Saturday, March 21, 2026 from 2pm to 4pm.
