Try your hand at solving a classic whodunit murder mystery when The University of Tampa’s Studio Theatre presents The Progressive Murder Mystery on Friday, Dec 8, and Saturday, Dec. 9. Both shows begin at 8 p.m. in Reeves Theater on the second floor of the Vaughn Center. Refreshments will be served during the pre-show beginning at 7:30 p.m.

A wild pool party results in the murder of the host. The characters, along with a detective, struggle to figure out the identity of the killer through their alcohol- and drug-induced hazes. During this interactive show, will you be able to identify the murderer?

Featuring a variety of performance styles and techniques, this devised theatre piece was developed through the creativity and ingenuity of the student ensemble selected to participate and produce the event. Ten students have collaborated to shape the play from rudimentary, preliminary ideas contributed by all at the first meeting to a complete production full of surprises.

The event, which is free and open to the public, is intended for adult audiences. Viewer discretion is advised.
