Island City Stage has reached its 15th season, and the Wilton Manors theater is marking it by bringing back one of its own. Who Killed Joan Crawford, the murder comedy Island City Stage premiered in 2016, is running again through Oct. 25 at the company's home at 2304 N. Dixie Highway, and this Sunday is Mimosa Sunday.

Five Joans, one cabin, fewer by the minute

The setup, as the theater's season page describes it, is pure camp with a body count. On a dark and stormy night in 1993, five men arrive at a cabin for a soap star's surprise birthday party. Each has been told to come dressed as the guest of honor's favorite actress, Joan Crawford, in one of her signature roles. While they wait for him, the Joans start drinking and trading gossip, the secrets come out, and then the Joans start disappearing one by one.

Michael Leeds wrote it and directs this revival. It runs 90 minutes with no intermission, which makes it an easy weeknight show and an even easier pre-dinner one on the Drive.

Tickets and the special nights

Thursday, Friday and Saturday matinees are $50, and Saturday and Sunday performances are $55. Two dates are built as events. Mimosa Sunday, this Sunday, Oct. 11, is $62. Women's Night at the Theatre is Friday, Oct. 23, at $50. The run closes Oct. 25, so there are about two and a half weeks left to catch it.

The company also sells a Season 15 Flexpass for anyone planning to see more than one show, which is worth a look given what comes next.

The rest of season 15

After Joan, the season gets bigger. Grey Gardens, the musical about Big Edie and Little Edie Bouvier Beale, the eccentric aunt and cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, runs Jan. 14 through Feb. 14 under artistic director Andy Rogow. It is followed by Paper Cut, Messy White Gays and, closing the season next summer, The Lion in Winter, which finishes its run on Aug. 1, 2027.

Why it matters in Wilton Manors

Fifteen seasons is a real run for a small professional theater anywhere, and the lineup it chose for the milestone says plenty about where it stands. Island City Stage has spent that time telling stories for and about the community around it, in a city that has made itself one of the country's best-known gay neighborhoods. Reviving a hit it created, rather than importing someone else's, is a statement that the company now has a catalog of its own worth returning to.

For anyone in Wilton Manors or Oakland Park, it is also the easiest night of theater in Broward: a short drive or a walk from Wilton Drive, a 90-minute show, and a drink somewhere on the Drive afterward to argue about who did it.
