Welcome to A Knavish Piece of Mystery! 

Get out your spy glasses and notepads and prepare to take part in a behind-the-scenes adventure that explores the intersection of life and storytelling - an investigation in which you will discover that
mysteries are everywhere.

Something strange is afoot at the new town theater. A dressing room is locked. Two actors are missing. And you are there to join the investigation as a cast and crew confront a mystery in which
nothing is as it seems.

Strange things are afoot at the New Town Theatre!

Two actors are missing. Another has run off to hide in a water closet. And the New Town players are struggling to open a locked room that may harbor a terrible secret.

But August LaFleur holds back. An expert at devising and solving mysteries, he’s convinced that the real answers may lie deeper within the theatre’s renovated rehearsal space.

And so begins an exploration of a haunted brownstone -- a windowless building with few exits … and ample places for mysteries to hide.

One would think that the best way to solve a locked-door mystery would be to open the room and see what’s inside. But what happens when what’s inside proves even more confounding?

In today’s episode, we discover that the solutions we seek may not be solutions at all, and that our knavish piece of mystery may be more puzzling than even a master sleuth might imagine.

Bestselling mystery writer August LaFleur has found missing actor Humphry Jones lying on the floor of the men’s dressing room of the New Town Theatre. But the hot-tempered Toby Payne is still unaccounted for. And even more perplexing is the means by which LaFleur managed to enter the locked space after closing himself in the women’s dressing room two doors away. Now … he is asking you to explain how he did it.
