Join us for a dark and stormy evening at Ackerton Manor, where secrets lurk behind every door and everyone has something to hide. From March 12th to 29th, Theatre Orangeville invites you to experience Murder at Ackerton Manor by Steven Gallagher - a delightfully farcical tribute to classic murder mysteries, brimming with outrageous twists, eccentric suspects, and laugh-out-loud surprises. When the manor’s notorious lord is found murdered, Detective Pierre Pierrot must piece together a baffling case involving a missing diamond, a dead body, and five wildly suspicious guests… before the killer strikes again.

Packed with mistaken identities, rapid-fire comedy, and escalating chaos, this high-energy production showcases three remarkable actors portraying seven unforgettable characters. Blending the intrigue of an English countryside whodunit with the playful mayhem of a theatrical spoof, Murder at Ackerton Manor delivers an unforgettable night of laughter, suspense, and pure entertainment.

Within all of this chaos is a cast of three talented actors, Jamie Cavanagh, Tyrone Savage and Christy Bruce, who will portray seven eccentric personalities in a fast-paced murder-mystery comedy directed by the ever-sharp Ron Pederson.

So gather your favourite theatre companions, sharpen your detective skills, and prepare for an evening where the clues are clever, the comedy is nonstop, and nothing is quite as it seems. Whether you’re a devoted mystery lover or simply looking for a fantastic night out, this is one case you’ll want to solve with us.
