About the Show

The Bluff is a new comedic whodunit centered on Dexter Dull Jr., who wants nothing more than to follow in his father’s footsteps as a world class detective. Struggling to show he belongs solving crimes, Dexter intercepts a phone call meant for his father. The call is about the murder of Mr. Bluffington, the wealthiest and most connected person in 1920’s New York. Pretending to be his father, Dexter attempts to solve the case of the century.

He is met by a cast of suspects featuring wealthy business elites, aspiring artists, and a suspicious butler. As it quickly becomes clear that Dexter is in over his head, Mr. Bluffington’s secretary becomes an unlikely ally. Will the case be solved before Dexter’s true identity is revealed? Set to a contemporary Broadway score, The Bluff  is packed with energetic ensembles, heartfelt ballads, and a sea shanty. 

An original musical written by childhood friends, seeing The Bluff come to stage has truly been a dream come true! The show has developed much over the years, but it has always been a charming, humors, and full of upbeat tracks. Scroll down to learn about upcoming and past performances.
