An Old-Fashioned Murder Mystery revolves around a famous mystery writer coming to visit a wealthy family and the ensuing murder and mayhem. It may sound like just another generic whodunit based on this simple description, but there is so much more to this show than that. This highly original show, full of generous doses of humor, puts its own unique spin on the genre. 

At its center is beloved actress Sally Struthers, best known for her popular turn as daughter, Gloria, in the groundbreaking television series All in the Family in the 1970s.  She plays the widow of a brilliant detective and mother to an up-and-coming young detective. This is a woman who is a lot more savvy and on the ball than she is given credit for. Struthers plays the role with a delightful subtlety. To see her in the role is to fall in love with her all over again. 

The rest of the cast is equally brilliant. They easily meet the high standards set by Struthers' performance. You won't want to miss this incredibly fun show!
