by Butch Maxwell with Bert Furioli
Tone Def was a popular rock band in the 1980s known primarily for its excessive theatrics and outrageous antics both onstage and off. Twenty five years after the band’s rise to popularity and fall to disgrace, the Rock Hall of Fame is about to induct the group. But manager Morey Schwartzmeyer is worried. The former band mates have not reconciled after the ugly split up. At the center of the break-up was a woman - Binaca Bruja - who shows up just in time to assure that any hope Morey has in getting the band to perform together is in jeopardy. This reunion could literally be murder!
“Rock ‘em Dead” is the first show by the Mystery Theatre to offer completely original music performed completely live by actor/musicians. With lots of audience interactivity, the comic farce features improvisation, rock and roll and a murder mystery to solve.
Cast:
Morey Schwartzmeyer: Bert Furioli
Gash: Kevin Dennis
Eli Johnson: Ryan Sears
David Boney: Butch Maxwell
Binaca Bruja: Cheryl Burke
