It’s 1942 in a dirty downtown club run by Mad Mal, the most maniacal menacing mob boss around. The “Canary” goes on to sing at midnight, but something has gone terribly wrong. A diamond necklace is missing and blood has been spilt. Love, jealousy, lies, theft, blackmail and dare we say even murder take the audience through twists and turns. All the while the bumbling Inspector Danny Gibbs, with his sassy, quick-witted secretary, try to crack this cryptic case. Will they find out the Truth?...

This original production written by Kayla Chalko and directed by Jacqueline Witt fuses film noir style with contemporary circus in a refreshing and intoxicating mix of acrobatics, aerial arts, dance, and physical comedy. Live music from a trio band creatively remixes some contemporary songs into a jazzy vintage feel. Audiences will be transported to the world of classic crime and left with their bellies aching and heads spinning trying to figure out "who dun'it."
