Decoder Ring Theatre

Take one hard-boiled, poorly cliched private eye, add a mysterious missing artifact and stir in six or seven of history's most culturally insesitive accents since Hogan's Heroes went off the air and you have the recepie for mystery, mayhem and a sweeping apology from our legal department. Here for your dining and dancing pleasure.... the mystery of The Ruby Tooth!

He has always been a lone wolf... a solitary coyote... or at least an only puppy. But today, Slick Bracer, PI is getting himself a partner! Will double the dick mean double the trouble? Will the citizens of Metropolisville be safe at last? Or will the newest cast member have a life expectancy of a red-shirted extra on Star Trek? Would it give you a hint if we mentioned this is the Mystery of Some Murdered Guy?

Metropolisville's most manly man of mystery takes of a crazed dognapping ring, an even more crazed client, a police detective who is also... um... crazed and a secretary who is also at least slightly crazed. I sense a theme. A funky theme, with some horns and a lot of bass. Get your bad selves ready for The Case of the Kidnapped Canine!

Get ready for the Summer of Slick, as Decoder Ring Theatre proudly presents a full set of Erik Deckers' Slick Bracer, starring Peter Nicol as Slick! Action thrills! Mysterious chills! And the DRT ensemble having fun trying to bust up poor Peter in the middle of his lines. Good times! This week: one dead restaurateur and five or six desperately unlikely suspects somehow adds up to.... A Four Star Murder!

Which is more deadly, the battle you thought was lost, or the fight you thought you had won? In the chaos of war, only one thing is certain... There Will Be Rain Tonight!

For years now, the country has been haunted by an enemy as elusive as any ghost. The head of a network working to weaken our war effort and prepared to devestate our defences at a stroke when the opportunity presents itself for their Nazi masters to strike. He has been held in check by our heroes, but with their own network depleted and diminished, how much longer can they continue the fight? If the end is to come, it must come now - and it will take... All The King's Men!

There are some situations that you just can't prepare for. You can be the cleverest mystery man on the block, there will still be days that you just never saw coming. Those are the moments that cry out for a firey horse with the speed of lighht, a cloud of dust and a hearty... well, you know...

A newspaper is a powerful tool. The voice of the people, a beacon of truth in dark times and a reflexion of all that we would like to be as a city, a nation, a people. But if you happen to be the unseen hand behind Nazi fifth-column efforts, you just might get a little sick and tired of a certain crusading daily. And if you did, what choice would you have but to... Stop The Presses!

Let's see... the Nazis have decimated the Council of Mages in the Occult War and swarmed over half of Europe. They have squadrons of telepathically controlled dinosaurs and fantastic technology derived from dark magic. And their man inside Canada has run the country's masked heroes ragged trying to keep up. And it turns out that the only thing stopping things from getting a whole lot worse are a few... Small Wonders!

Through the mists of time, from an age almost forgotten, comes a lost blade once wielded by a man who held much of the civilized world under his power. Three thousand years later, a different tyrant has similar dreams. Can the Red Panda and the Flying Squirrel keep such a powerful talisman out of his hands? Can even a disciple of an old friend defend them from the... Sword of the Sun King?
