Did the secretive janitor kill the Director instead of one of the cast members?
Come find out tonight when The Night I Died at the Palace Theatre by Pat Cook opens.
Suspect #10 Theodore
Unlike the rest of the suspects, Theodore is not an eccentric, spotlight-hungry actor or part of the immediate acting troupe. Instead, as the building's janitor, he has total, unrestricted access to every hidden corner, prop room, and light switch in the Palace Theatre. Because the director, Dexter Allan, is murdered right on the stage in total darkness, Theodore's intimate knowledge of the physical building instantly makes him a highly capable suspect.
The play explicitly characterizes Theodore as a man harboring an undisclosed, mysterious past. While the actors scream, faint, and throw open financial accusations at one another, Theodore operates in the background, making Detective Jimmy Todd exceptionally curious about what a seemingly quiet Swiss janitor is actually doing at the theater—and whether his "secret" provides a deadly motive.
