Murder in the Knife Room
November 7-9, 2025 | McKinley Auditorium | Redwood City
Who did it? In Jonathan Rand’s Murder in the Knife Room, a body is discovered in a room full of knives, leading an intrepid investigator to grill a lineup of wildly quirky suspects.
Each “clue” only makes things funnier in this fast-paced parody of classic murder mysteries.
It’s more silly than spooky, packed with big characters, outrageous alibis, and plenty of twists to keep you guessing.
Perfect for families, mystery lovers, and anyone who enjoys smart, clean comedy—plus a great chance to cheer on our local students as they bring a zany ensemble to life.
Grab your tickets and join us for an evening of laughs and live theater!
