Historical Society plans annual mystery dinner theatre
THIS YEAR’S MYSTERY DINNER THEATER PRESENTATION AT THE LARSON ARMSTRONG HOUSE PROMISES PLENTY OF PARTICIPATION FOR GUESTS.
ACCORDING TO DIRECTOR JOHN BOWMAN. THE PLAY IS WRITTEN TO BE DONE AS A DINNER PARTY, AND THERE’S LOTS OF AUDIENCE INVOLVEMENT.
THIS IS THE FOURTH YEAR THE HANCOCK COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY HAS SPONSORED A MYSTERY DINNER THEATER AND IT SERVES AS A FUNDRAISER FOR DIFFERENT EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
THE NAME OF THIS YEAR’S PRODUCTION IS THE “CHRISTMAS CRACKER CAPER” AND REVOLVES AROUND THE STORY OF LEAD CHARACTER PAULA CRACKER WHO IS HOSTING A PARTY SIX MONTHS AFTER HER HUSBAND BUSTER CRACKER ALLEGEDLY DIED OF CANCER. DETECTIVE CHRIS MASS IS INVITED TO THE PARTY AT THE CRACKER RESIDENCE AND MAINTAINS THE DEATH IS REALLY A MURDER.
THERE ARE EIGHT MEMBERS TO THE CAST AND THE AUDIENCE HAS TO FIGURE OUT AT THE END OF THE NIGHT WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR DOING IN BUSTER.
THIS YEAR FOUR PERFORMANCES WILL BE HELD AT THE LARSON ARMSTRONG HOUSE. NIGHT PERFORMANCES WILL BE HELD WITH THE DOORS OPENING AT 6 P.M. DINNER AND THE PLAY WILL START AT 6:30 P.M. THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AND A MATINEE WILL BE HELD SUNDAY WITH DOORS OPENING AT 12:30 P.M. WITH THE DINNER AND PLAY STARTING AT 1 P.M.
