When powerful millionaire Victor Winslow, producer of a popular TV soap opera, invites members of the cast and crew to his mansion for a party, none dares refuse. Winslow informs his guests that he has assembled them to help him develop a new murder mystery game he’s invented called “13 Past Midnight.” But before the game begins, the host gives the players ample motives to want to kill him — for real! “13 Past Midnight” is a murder mystery comedy that plays with all the tropes you love: the locked room, the loaded guest list, the killer with something to hide. Featuring characters from the glittering world of Hollywood television, where no one is exactly who they seem, and everyone is exactly suspicious enough to be guilty.

This play is directed by Bailey O’Neil ’17 and features a cast and production team made up of current students and Aurora University alumni.
