Waterbury Festival Players present 'Murder's Bad but Monday Can Kill You'
Harry's back! That's right, Harry Monday, that Sam Spade wannabe in the trench coat and gumshoes, is hot and on his latest case. Does he know what he's doing? Who knows? Is he over his head? Of course. Especially when its a triple homicide at the Restful Glen Psychiatric Annex. Only after he arrives does he find out that its one guy with three personalities. This wise-cracking whodunit will have you guessing until the final red herring or perhaps Harry's goose is cooked.

Phil Meets Bill consists of bassist Phil Zuckerman and guitarist Bill Rueger, two young jazz musicians centered in Burlington, Vermont. Together they tackle a wide variety of jazz standards, including a good deal of bebop, as well as older classics of the 30's and 40's. They commit themselves to great phrasing, responsive improvisation, and a real sense of swing. Both Phil and Bill studied music at the University of Vermont, where they studied under great musical minds such as Ray Vega, Tom Cleary, John Rivers, and Joe Capps."
