Murder: at The Strand II: Dark Matters with the Earl and Rachel Smith Strand Theater

At first glance, the two minds behind the theatre experiment that became a killer success can present as something of an odd couple.

Bradberry is a Chicago based, Atlanta born playwright and director with a Masters of Fine Arts in directing. Ledbetter is a professional virtual reality developer with a long history of game development and escape room design.

Dig a little deeper, though, and you’ll find that Bradberry has a history of taking on experimental theatre projects, and Ledbetter started out acting professionally before taking his passion for storytelling interactive. Ultimately, they’ll both tell you that even though they live in different worlds, they aim to deliver the same thing: a good story, well told.
