Mayor Warren J. Weakley has ordered an old downtown airport closed due to “security concerns.”  He is making a deal with the “Outfit” to put up a large casino in its place. At midnight the Mayor orders G Gordon Piddley, his loyal Chief of Staff, to “supervise the remodeling project.”  Piddley orders trucks out on the tarmac. The union boys love their work so they play a little game of tick- tack-toe with Xs and Os.

The Mayor of the great city has also ordered his Chief of Staff to get rid of his last obstacle: Move Old Lady Gladys Northerly and her idiot grandson (Norton) off of her quaint cabin at the end of Northerly Island. The Mayor thinks it will be a cakewalk but the old lady is tougher than he thinks.  Her nephew appears to be an idiot, but can he be bought? He exercises every day by “wrestling with the buffalos.” 

Dom De Dahmdan, from Outfit Development Inc. is the contractor hired by Mayor Weakley to develop the property has invested a great deal of his own money and political capital but little does he know that his own assistant works for the Justice Department and is about to bust him! 

The rabid environmentalists are led by media darling Tray Huger. They have ramped up to high gear to fight this injustice, but his attorney girlfriend is becoming suspicious of Tray’s eco-terrorist ways.   

Wilma Weekley, the Mayor’s wife is undecided about Northerly Island and has called in her personal clairvoyant, Madame Babushka to advise her about building a magnificent park. 

The Chamber of Commerce does not want a park nor do they really want a casino but what does the “Society Dame” want? She wants to raise bison and buffalo on Northerly Island! This has twisted her poor son into a pretzel. Could he snap?    

 
The battle lines have been drawn and it's time for  “Murder at Meigs Field!”

"Murder at Meigs Field" features 12 Chicago actors starring in what will prove to be a lively evening of interactive theatre and political fun. Arlene Kahn is the associate producer and familiar faces will populate the stage as characters in the play.

Paul Warshauer has written and directed over 140 murder mystery plays from Alaska to Florida.  He says that he “loves Chicago ... if you can’t poke fun at your own town, you should live in Oregon!”

Ironically he created the formula for these interactive murder mysteries at an Italian Restaurant in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Warshauer has been involved in some unusual dealings here in Chicago himself with the Uptown and Portage Park Theatres. But this murder, he says, “is all for fun. The audience gets to listen to clues, wander around the theatre, cross-examine the suspects, then vote for who they think ‘dunnit!’ Murder weapons are everywhere so the audience must sort out the red herrings from the real thing.”
