A group of crows is called a murder. What happens when there is a murder amongst a group of crows? You get a MURDER murder mystery!

Arriving just in time for Halloween, THE FAMILY CROW: A Murder Mystery is a puppet-fueled, pun-filled show that is a perfect finish to this spooky season.

A murder has been committed amidst a family of crows – it's a MURDER murder mystery. Enter Horatio P. Corvus to sort it all out! He's got one hour, five crows, and zero patience. Eat your heart out, Agatha Crowstie. Performed by a singular actor bringing six characters to life (and death?), the show features a great story, some terrible puns, and an unexpected twist. This engagement marks the 100th performance of THE FAMILY CROW: A Murder Mystery!
