Lauren Roberts, the director of Mystery at the Starlight Ballroom, explains the plot as follows: “This show is set in a 1940’s dance hall that hosts a weekly radio show featuring the singer Madeline DeVore. Donny, the show’s master of ceremonies, is hopelessly in love with Madeline, but producer, Sidney Meanstreet, is standing in the way. The studio musician Victor Olla is furious with being replaced with recorded music, and Penny, the scriptwriter, is vying for her own moment in the spotlight. As tensions rise and secrets are revealed, a body falls, and it’s up to you to gather clues and solve the murder mystery.”
