Created by the writer/director Billy Mitchell and presented by Brenda Braxton, Villain: DeBlanks is a show that blends mystery-solving with improvisation. For each performance, the cast must use words suggested by the audience.

"As they try to enact the story of Philip DeBlanks’ untimely death, the unrehearsed actors are asked to dig deep for whatever they can to maintain themselves and their dignity, usually with little success," state press notes.

The full program, subject to change, is listed below:

Nov. 1: Keala Settle, Jeff Hiller, Bernard Dotson, Laura Yoder, Jessica Hendy and Mike Schwitter

Dec. 6: Daisy Eagan, Bobby Cronin, Lauren Elder, Geneva Carr, Hunter Ryan Herdlicka and Peter Filichia

Jan. 3, 2016: Angela Robinson, Nick Cearley, Adam Feldman, Lesli Margherita, Molly Pope and John Bolton

Feb. 7: Trent Armand Kendall, Mary Testa, Hank Morris, Eddie Capuano, Bobby Cronin and Annaleigh Ashford
