Fountain Hills Theater presents 'Triple Threat'

Fountain Hills Theater (FHT) announces the opening of the world premier mystery comedy, “Triple Threat” by FHT’s Artistic Director Peter J. Hill.

When murder stalks a small theater rehearsal, one murdered actor keeps reappearing over and over again.

In this whodunnit-dunnit-dunnit, it could be anybody. The harried director? The dim-witted ingenue? The love-struck stage manager? It could have been anyone.

And exactly how many times can one actor die?

This new mystery comedy will have audiences guessing and laughing in equal amounts, according to a press release.

“Triple Threat” is a mystery comedy penned by Hill who thought he ought to do something with his time during the COVID lockdown.

What surprised him was that this laugh-out-loud comedy would be the result of his forced seclusion.

“Let’s be honest. We were all bored out of our minds,” Hill said. “There’s only so much TV and jigsaw puzzles one person can take.

“Things seemed so serious and dire. I thought I might write the Great American Novel or at least the Great Searing American Drama. Instead, these crazy characters started filling my blank pages. Before I knew it, ‘Triple Threat’ was born.”

Jam-packed with theatrical characters that Hill knows only too well, “Triple Threat” is both a keep ‘em guessing mystery and a farcical comedy.

“Triple Threat” will play Oct. 11-27 on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.

For reservations, call 480-837-9661 x3 or visit fhtaz.org .

Individual tickets are $40 for adults and $18 for youth 17 and under. Rated G.

All performances take place at Fountain Hills Theater, 11445 N. Saguaro Blvd.
