In this hilarious whodunit, a renowned classical pianist is murdered in her apartment above the SHEAR MADNESS beauty salon and you, the audience, along with Inspector Nick O'Brien, interrogate the suspects, evaluate the clues and solve the mystery. The wacky, spontaneous comedy never has the same ending twice, so you can see it again and again.

Cost: $36 per person. Meet at 11:30 a.m. in the Paul Henson lobby to carpool. RSVP and make payment by November 15 at the Welcome Center. All sales final. No refunds.

Gather with friends to enjoy a Christmas dinner of ham. Please sign up to bring a side dish to share.
