“Majestic Theatre opens its 35th Anniversary Season with Southern Fried Murder, on October 31 – November 2, 2025!

About the show:
Southern Fried Murder is an audience participation murder-mystery by Billy St. John. Way down south in Dixie, there’s something rotten in the cotton! Wealthy family matriarch Magnolia Capote has summoned her kith and kin to dinner in a fancy restaurant to discuss her will. But when Mrs. Capote is killed with her walking stick, mayhem ensues and her possible heirs become involved in a treasure hunt to interpret the encrypted will! The audience is totally involved in this mystery/comedy with one member actually recruited from the audience to play a small part, (This character gets beat to death with a frozen chicken.) The roles spoof Tennessee Williams’ heroines, Bette Davis in “Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte” characters from Tobacco Road, Truman Capote, and other denizens of the Deep South.
