Pressed uniforms. Polished silver. Perfect revenge.

On April 4th, Murder! By Pasties at the Historic Theatre pulls back the curtain on the Foxglove Theater’s most overlooked employee…

Meet Hotsy Flashy, the ever-present maid who has laced Maxine Midnight into corsets, steamed her feathers, and fastened her jewels for years without so much as a wrinkle in her composure. Dutiful. Discreet. Invisible.

But perhaps Hotsy wasn’t always meant to be backstage.

Whispers suggest she was once an aspiring performer herself…until Maxine secured the spotlight that might have been hers. Since then, Hotsy has scrubbed the stage she longed to command, pressing and polishing the very burlesque finery she dreamed of wearing.

Now, with Maxine out of the picture, the maid may finally untie her apron strings. And when she tears off that dowdy dress to reveal the glittering splendor she’s been tending all these years? It won’t just be a debut.

It will be a reckoning.

At the Foxglove, even the help has motives, and this maid has been rehearsing her moment in the shadows.

Will you solve the murder of Maxine Midnight?
