“Eat, Drink and Be Murdered”

Cast and crew in rehearsal. If you look closely, you can tell there is great animosity among these characters! They have rivaled each other for decades, and the sparks will fly between them during the show.

Wrap your presents and put on your party hats, because Sun Lakes Community Theatre is presenting our mystery/dinner: a 90th birthday party, attended by two feuding Irish families, the O’Reillys and the McFaddens, trying to get their hands on Grandma Rose’s “Wild Irish Rose” whiskey recipe. Keep your eyes and ears open, because someone will meet an untimely death, and it’s up to the audience to solve the crime.

Eat, Drink and Be Murdered will be performed in the Oakwood Country Club Ballroom from February 17 to 21 (Sunday through Thursday). The theatre pub will open at 5:00 p.m. for drinks, the doors to the theatre will open at 5:30 p.m. and dinner of chicken picatta, salad, vegetables and dessert will be served at 6:00 p.m., with the show to follow. Cost for dinner and show is $39.00. The director is Sandy Pallett, and her assistants are Barbie Bergerson and Judi Janowski.

Tickets go on sale Monday, January 28, in the Oakwood lobby from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Other “walk-up” sales at Oakwood will be on February 4 and February 11. The “walk-up” sales at Cottonwood will be each Wednesday in the Cottonwood Card Room (A-3) on January 30, February 6 and February 13 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Also, beginning January 28, tickets can be purchased online at any time 24/7 at www.slctinfo.com.  Our phone number is 480-382-6290.

Plan to attend, have a delicious dinner and then enjoy lots of laughs! This show is very funny, with lots of twists and turns, and we encourage audience participation.
