Come for dinner and stay for the show! The MLHS drama department is offering a dinner/show combination for this year’s fall play, “How to Host a Murder Mystery Dinner Party (in Fifteen Simple Steps).”
Join your host, Miss Penelope Chrysler-Michelin, as she presents her proven, fifteen-step process on how to host a murder mystery dinner party. To guide you through the presentation, Miss Penelope has planned her own murder mystery dinner party to play out onstage. She’ll take you through all the most important steps, such as “Setting the Scene,” “Choosing Your Mark,” “Establishing Motive,” and more.
Of course, her guest list has been carefully selected to make sure the very best mix of suspicious characters are present — The Celebrity, The Writer, The Doctor, The Ladykiller. But like any good murder mystery, the weather worsens, and the plot thickens when there is an unexpected visitor on the dark and stormy night. Good thing Miss Penelope has thought of everything, including Step Eight: “Always Have a Backup Plan.”
With a different ending for each performance, this light-hearted look at a murder mystery will have you guessing “whodunit” and laughing at the antics of Miss Penelope’s guests. You won’t want to miss it!
The dinner is a fund-raiser for the MLHS drama club, and allows students to participate in and fund drama-related activities throughout the school year. A limited number of dinner tickets will be available, so purchase your tickets early! Show-only tickets (which include dessert) are also available. Dinner and show tickets are $30 and will be available to purchase online from early October through November 4th. Show-only tickets are $15, and will be available both online and at the door.
