This June, The Missoula Oblongata will debut its second full-scale touring
production, The Most Mysterious Day of the Year. The play takes place
on Detective Agency Row—home to the gallant Busy Mapleswap (private
eye) and twenty paces across the way, the villainous Haricot Ellicot (also
private eye). As the play opens, the fall of Morse code is imminent. The telephone
girls are long gone, and Haricot Ellicot’s side project—the community
boxing ring—has spiraled out of control. As kitten is pitted against
parakeet in what promises to be the match of the century, the community of
Detective Agency Row is forced to answer the question: will anyone attend
Busy Mapleswap’s annual kaleidoscope convention?
The Most Mysterious Day of the Year will premier in the glorious and
bilingual city of Montreal on June 11th. After its short run there, it will
tour through The United States of America until the end of August. The tour
schedule will be available here as it becomes more clear. If you would like
