Put on your detective cap and join us for a unique, interactive night of improv and sleuthing. Prior to the evening every attendee is assigned a character to play within the crime scene, and as the night progresses everyone has the chance to follow their hunches, examine the clues, and ask questions of fellow attendees. One of you is trying to get away with it, while the rest are trying to answer the age-old question: whodunnit?
Each of the following characters is an example of who you could be assigned at each of the five involvement levels. This scale is fluid rather that strict and characters are written before tickets go on sale so assignments can vary slightly depending on how many people select each level.
For example, if more people select five-star parts than are written a few of them may be assigned four-star parts or vice versa. When this does happen, an adjacent part is always assigned - those who select a three-star part could be assigned a two or four-star part, those who select a two-star part could be assigned a one or three-star part, those who select a one-star part could be assigned a two-star part, etc.
Make sure you have the information listed below ready for when tickets go on sale. If you do not completely fill out the information ("TBD" does not count as completed!) your ticket will be refunded and put back on sale. Due to the event's popularity, a maximum four tickets are sold per purchaser.
1) Name + email address of each attendee: Prior to the event, all ticket holders will be individually emailed their assigned character information. To prevent spoilers, do not share emails!
2) Each attendees pronouns: Knowing we can't assume based on name (i.e., Taylor, Cameron, Sam, Jo, etc.) this information is shared with our writer so that attendee and character pronouns match.
3) Each attendee's desired involvement level
4) Each attendee's menu choice

You are cordially invited to the wedding of the second marriage of Lucinda “Swiffie” Sutherland-Sears and the fifth marriage of Ward Montgomery. Friends, family, guests, and others have assembled to celebrate the rehearsal dinner of the couple everyone in town is talking about.
But given the guest list, we will see who makes it to the ceremony and who gets tossed like the rice after the reception.
