Shear Madness

Shear Madness, America’s hilarious whodunit where the audience gets to solve the crime. Set in a local hair salon that turns into a wacky murder scene, the play is filled with up-to-the-minute humor and is different every time you see it!  The New York Times declared it “An audience pleaser as fresh as the latest new cycle! Filled with plenty of silliness, sly double entendres and an astonishingly durable, inclusive spirit of fun, Shear Madness is genuinely all-ages, well-oiled entertainment." 
Theatermania agreed, saying “An absurdly enjoyable, uproarious experience! A killer time will be had by all!"
