In a historic home in Los Angeles equipped with secret passageways and suspiciously accessible weapons, a group of actors prepares to lead an immersive murder mystery experience. Unfortunately, they and their guests are about to get way more murder than they signed up for. Performance turns to deception and fantasy becomes denial in Haley Bart’s new farce, The Lilac Order.
