Who Did It? An Improvised Murder Mystery Show
There’s been a bloody crime in Washington, DC. How did it happen? Where? Who was killed? Those things are up to you, the audience! You can even bring your own props to scatter around the murder scene, and they will be incorporated into the show. Then, some of DC's hilarious improvisers will solve the case right before your eyes.
