Tessa Karel, a long-time fan of murder-mystery parlor games, decided to write her own, with a video-conference twist: “The Best Baker Showdown” is a live, virtual murder mystery where audiences can choose to interact with the suspects as they try to suss out the culprit. Arcade Comedy Theater presents Marjorie Funfinger s Masterpiece Mystery Games: The Best Baker Showdown : 8 p.m. Sat., March 13, and 8 p.m. Fri., March 19
Karel is a veteran of local improv-comedy stages, including at Arcade Comedy Theater, which is presenting “Baker Showdown.” The new production’s setting is behind-the-scenes at a TV baking-contest show where the popular co-host, Betsy Butters, has been found dead in her lodgings on the very night she announced the latest three finalists. Also missing is the “cowboy” judge, the haughty Dave Desertdunes.
