By Judie Holcomb-Pack Stained Glass Playhouse will present “The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940” on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 8 and 9 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 10 at 3 p.m. at Stained Glass Playhouse, located at 4401 Indiana Avenue in Winston-Salem, in the former sanctuary of Marvin United Methodist Church.  A synopsis: The creative team responsible for a recent Broadway flop – in which three chorus girls were murdered by the mysterious “Stage Door Slasher” – re-assemble for a backer’s audition of their new show at a Westchester estate.
