Junior Women Portray "Mad" Ad World in Murder Mystery
Audience members get to play detective inside a 1960's advertising agency on Friday and Saturday night.
Imagine Mad Men with an interactive murder mystery wrapped around it-and everyone's tongue planted firmly in cheek--and you have a sense of the GFWC Marlborough Junior Woman’s Club's production of It’s a Mad Mad Ad World looks like.
The fundraiser production features two shows: Friday, May 11 and Saturday, May 12, both at 7:30 p.m. at the Hudson Elks, 99 Park St., Hudson.
Tickets are $25 per person and all proceeds go towards the chariable work fo the Marlboro Juniors.
"It’s a Mad Mad Ad World," written and produced by members of the Juniors, takes place in the 1960’s advertiisng world, just like TV’s Mad Men.
In the stage show, the agency of Worthing, Thomas & Foley--or, WTF for short--has just landed a big client, which, naturally, leads to a night of raucous celebration. When the ad execs return to the office to start working on the client’s ads, a body is discovered.
Who did it? The audience will help unravel the mystery and to interview suspects and witnesses. The most clever detective in the audience can even win a prize.
A video preview of the performance can be viewed online. There is also a gallery of photos of cast members on this Facebook page.
Tickets can be purchased online in advance.
