The cast is led by Justin Meyer as Poirot, director of Meyer2Meyer Entertainment alongside his wife, Melissa. Their most notable show is House of Spirits: A Haunted Cocktail Soiree, which can be found in seven cities across the country during October.

Making her FPST debut, Murder is directed by Karen Jean Olds, an LA/MT-based actor/writer/director/choreographer/ producer. Olds is a long-time performer with Disney Entertainment, recording artist for Disney Records, and live-stage vocalist for Disney Concert Series at Dolby Stage.
