“A Family Reunion To Die For,” was written by Matt Steele and Mike Steele and is being produced through Pioneer Drama Service. The plot of the show revolves around the Knotting Family Reunion. Newlywed Christine Franklin is eager to show off her husband Freddie to the family she hasn’t seen in years. The joyful reunion quickly turns sour though when Aunt Gretchen, Cousin Rachel and Cousin Stefan are all murdered. The members of the Knotting Family are dropping like flies, and Christine seems to be next in line to become a victim!  To make matters worse, a terrible storm has trapped all of the guests inside. Who is trying to wipe out the Knotting family?  Is it the pair of squirrel-hunting hillbilly brother and sister with their rifle? The former Vegas showgirl with a knack for knitting? The maid with a single digit IQ? The grouchy cook? The bitter journalist?  The troupe of mimes? For the answers to this and other questions you will have to come to the show and find out!
