Sam Shade – A Detective Musical

Conceived by Joe Rogers
Directed by Tyrone King

It’s thrilling . . . it’s chilling . . . it’s the most baffling mystery story in years! This original musical is based on Dashiell Hammett’s character Sam Spade from the classic novel, The Maltese Falcon.  Sam Shade – A Detective Musical delivers detective intrigue, mystery, and twists. When a beautiful woman begs for his help, Sam Shade is tough enough to bluff the toughest thugs and hold off the police while risking his reputation. Will betrayal deal him a new hand in the next moment?
