May 10, July 19, September 6
You’re attending the 40-year class reunion for the Medvale High School class of ’85, (Go Fighting Sea Cucumbers!) Some of your classmates here tonight haven’t changed much at all since you graduated, and you begin the evening reminiscing about the good old days, getting re-acquainted, and grooving to the totally tubular hits from the MTv era.
But gag me with a spoon! Someone’s got a secret from 1985 that could play havoc with their current life, and will totally kill to keep it from coming out. So find out if you’re a totally awesome detective or a totally bogus one, and test your wits against the finest minds to come out of Medvale HS back in 1985!
But beware—sometimes when skeletons come out of the closet, they can wind up being someone you cheated off of in Algebra class!
Murder Mystery Mayhem: “Slay it Again Sam”
June 21, August 23, September 20
You and your group are in the audience at DiPlace for Murder theatre, attending their “Dinner with the Detectives” series, a murder mystery show where you dine with the world’s greatest literary detectives while they solve the murder of their mysterious host. When a “real” dead body is discovered in the theatre’s kitchen the evening takes on an edgy twist as the actors try to unravel the dastardly plot going on behind the scenes.
Unfortunately, one of them is planning an encore that will drop the curtain early on someone’s life. See if you can out-sleuth the sleuths and find the culprit who is slaying them in the aisles… and on the stage!
Mama Mia Mayhem: “Blood Relatives”
August 30, September 13, September 27
Join your favorite big, fat, Italian clan, the Stromboli Family, as they gather for a memorial service to bid farewell to their beloved matriarch Mama Filomena, who has finally taken off to that big pizza parlor in the sky (this time by natural causes…). Their usual raucous rivalry to inherit the family business is finally at an end – – or is it??
Mystery guests and secrets from the past abound as the family that ‘preys’ together, tries to stay together… until one of those loaded cannoli hits its mark! Once again, murder shows its ugly face in the Stromboli family portrait!
Match your wits against the witless and try to solve tonight’s whacking — er, murder, before the spaghetti sauce hits the fan — again!
Metaphysical Mayhem II: “Ghost Chasers and the Depot Ghost”
October 25
Hauntings have plagued the Oil Creek and Titusville Railroad Depot for ages, and for tonight’s entertainment, they’ve called back the nuttiest group of professionals in paranormal investigation, the Ghost Chasers!
Throughout the evening you will work with the Ghost Chasers searching for paranormal activity and debunking myths. But during their efforts to find the truth about the Perry Street Depot Ghost, one of them is scheming to send a Ghost Chaser on the ultimate chase—one with no return!
We’ll help you figure out “whodunit”, “how” and “why” based on clues which will be introduced in various scenes and repeated during an interrogation of the remaining suspects which will take place after the murder. Of course, feel free to question the characters about any of the events you may witness.
Once the interrogation is over, you will be challenged to fill out your ballot with your guesses. If your super-sleuthing is in good form, or your fabulous Halloween costume is voted the very best, you may qualify to win a prize.
Add into all this the expert improvisational specialists from The Comedy Troupe In All Seriousness and you’ll find we’ve got a killer evening planned!
So don’t get tricked or treated out of a fun and laugh-filled evening, even though one of the spooky characters you see may be the real deal!
