RED HERRING by MICHAEL HOLLINGER
Directed by MICHAEL J FROHNHOEFER
Produced by MORGANA KATE WATSON
Runs September 6th - 28th 2024
Genre - Comedy Suspense
Three love stories, a murder mystery, and a nuclear espionage plot converge in this noir comedy about marriage and other explosive devices.
It’s 1952: America’s on the verge of the H-bomb, Dwight Eisenhower’s on the campaign trail, and I Love Lucy’s on Monday nights. Meanwhile, Senator Joe McCarthy’s daughter just got engaged to a Soviet spy, and Boston detective Maggie Pelletier has to find out who dumped the dead guy in the Harbor—or else lose out on a honeymoon in Havana.
A blunt-nosed, sharp-eyed look at love and tying (and untying, and retying) the knot.

Reviews
“Exceedingly funny. A genuinely human comedy about six people in search of love in a mixed-up world. A thoroughly engaging piece of theatre.” —Philadelphia Inquirer.
“Hilarious. A valentine celebrating love and marriage. A fun, engaging, farcical romp with a cleverly complex plot and a loving heart.” —Main Line Times.
“It’s a knock-out—a surprising, clever comedy that keeps you laughing and even thinking all the way.” —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
“Very funny and perceptive…sharp, witty, and entertaining.” —Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
