The Westport Library and Westport Country Playhouse present Matthew Greene in conversation with Christin Brecher about his new mystery, There's No Murder Like Show Murder.
Tasha Weaver has seen her fair share of divas come and go while working as the costume shop head at the Eastbrook Playhouse, but her beloved theater is put at risk when the star of the show is killed in this fun but deadly debut.
Weaver is most at home in the cozy backstage world of the Eastbrook Playhouse. As the costume shop head at the charming regional theater, she’s used to watching dramatic acts of love and revenge from the shadows. But when Kurt Mozer — the insufferable Broadway reject who stars in their production of Annie Get Your Gun — is shot center stage, the spotlight turns to her. With the help of her friends, her longtime crush Bruno Machado, and her feline colleague Hilly, Tasha must catch a murderer before the shining lights of the playhouse go out forever.
