Acting Can Be Murder

The Phrase "Dying On Stage" Takes on a Whole New Meaning

After fleeing a failed relationship in New York, actress Leah Sexton finds herself as the new Executive Director of the Como Lake Players--a small community theater nestled in a sleepy St. Paul neighborhood. The initial calm of this new position is shattered immediately when a local critic--who had just panned the theater's latest production--is found murdered on the show's set.

On the heels of this grisly discovery, the show's lead actress tumbles down a flight of stairs--or was she pushed? To keep the show running and the theater afloat, Leah offers to step into the leading role. The arrival of her ex-boyfriend amid anonymous threats against her and the show require Leah to act as if her life depends on it. Because it does.
