Sarah Chong Harmer,
Sarah Fleming Walker,
Ben Bazaěn,
Robert Deike,
Joseph Garlock,

Note: "Employing a hybrid method of theatrical filming, actors will be captured using both cinematic and traditional live performance approaches. To enhance the experience, early purchasers will electronically receive exclusive clues designed for the virtual whodunnit." Available for online viewing with
live Q&As after each performance, and – regardez-vous! – here's
a video trailer for the show.
