Three Doors to Death is an an interactive Murder Mystery play by Keith Jackson and produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Services, inc. Denver, Colorado.

taking place in a lively community theatre, the unpopular Gordon Forrest is mysteriously murdered during a rehearsal of an old British thriller, Three Doors to Death.  Plenty of people had good cause to wish him gone.  Things heat up when the homicide detective appears and, with the audience to guide him, has the murder re-enacted.  Before deciding which direction the plot will go, the audience is given clues, motives, and suspects (the actors, director, cleaning woman–even the corpse!).  The audience gets to decide, not only who the killer is, but how the story will end.  Will the killer go to jail or be allowed to escape (and what an escape it will be!)? You decide…

Theatre at West Boylston Middle High School has been thriving for over two decades.

As part of the curriculum, students take Exploration in Drama in 7th and 8th grade. In high school, students have the opportunity to take both Drama Workshop and Performing Arts Workshop, both that culminate in dramatic and musical performances, respectively.

In addition to classes, students have the opportunity to act in fall play productions as an extra-curricular activity as well earn points to become a part of West Boylston's chapter of the International Thespian Society: Troupe 6514. The International Thespian Society students take part in several drama-related activities throughout the year including the annual Massachusetts Thespian Festival and our own Improv Night - which debuted in 2019 and was an instant hit. 

Three Doors to Death is presented as part of the International Thespian Society's ongoing efforts to raise money for the Carolyn Somma Legacy Scholarship.

This  murder mystery event is part of our effort for the 2021 - 2022 school year,  to introduce more performance opportunities for students. In addition, we will be mounting student directed one-act plays in January and bringing back our Improv Night in February. These are in addition to our Fall production (Harvey by Mary Chase - November 19 & 20) and Spring Performing Arts Workshop musical (TBD).
