About “Crazy Quilt Club”

Veronica Blather is a sweet little old lady who spends most of her time knitting and solving murders, most of which occur whenever she shows up. Understandably, she has a problem finding a place to live. When her niece invites her to stay at a retirement home for old knitters, it seems ideal – until one of its members dies from drinking poisoned punch.

Who did it? Was it Matilda, the president of the Crazy Quilt Club, or Lydia, who likes to die on Tuesdays? Could it be Clara, who’s a compulsive liar or the wisecracking Sarafina who doesn’t trust anybody and carries a rifle just to be sure? Clues drop as fast as corpses, and dialogue races along at breakneck speed to keep the audience in stitches until the last minute.

Coming up this season

The rest of the BTCPA season will include “Moon Over Buffalo,” by Ken Ludwig and directed by Mark Richarson, Feb. 13-16, 2025, and will include dinner with every performance.
