Mystery dinner theatre comes back to Fairlawn

0

SIDNEY — The Fairlawn Drama Department is hosting its sixth annual Mystery Dinner theatre on Oct. 21. The students will be presenting the mystery play, “The will.”

The evening begins with a dinner which includes tossed salad, spaghetti, bread sticks, green beans, applesauce and cobbler for dessert.

The mystery begins when Lady Jean Muckhousen dies and leaves a large estate. The problem – she has no heirs. So her lawyer, Mr. Jeez Creepers, sends invitations to several groups of people who have been kind to the lady during her lifetime, asking them to come to the reading of the will.

As the will is read, a challenge is issued to be part of a race to find the hidden key to her treasure. At this point, the audience will be asked to participate with the cast in an actual game of “Clue” to discover the location of the hidden key.

They will answer questions and be given clues to the key’s whereabouts as they visit stations each with a different ghost theme manned by a separate cast of students who will introduce their particular stories as they attempt to help the audience earn their clues.

Once the winning team has located the hidden key, all will return to the auditorium for a hair-raising conclusion to this funny and surprising prize-earning show that will leave you laughing and wondering what just happened.

Dinner will be served at 6:30 for preregistered guests. The play will begin immediately following at 7:30 p.m. The public is invited to attend the show at 7:30 p.m. Tickets will be available at the door for $8 for the show only.
