Murder, Mystery, and a Show Within a Show…
Step into the shadows of an empty Broadway stage with Rehearsal for Murder—a thrilling, twist-filled mystery that blurs the lines between performance and reality. Exactly one year after his fiancée, celebrated actress Monica Welles, is found dead in an apparent suicide, playwright Alex Dennison gathers the original cast and crew of her final show under the guise of reading a new script. But this is no ordinary rehearsal.

As scenes unfold and secrets resurface, the theater becomes a trap, the past comes alive through haunting flashbacks, and a chilling truth begins to emerge. With hidden identities, shadowy figures, and a master plan to expose a killer, Rehearsal for Murder delivers suspense, drama, and a final act you won’t see coming.

A play within a play. A trap within a trap. One final performance... and the truth will take center stage.
