Dust off your sleuth hats and get ready for Dickinson Public School Foundation’s mystery dinner theater. This one-of-a-kind event has been held in front of sold-out crowds for nearly two decades! This year’s signature event is “Murder at the Retirement Community,” a mystery dinner play. Once again, Josh Nicols has written and directed what is sure to be an outstanding performance. You can look forward to a talented cast of local volunteer actors who will entertain you while you dine and decipher the mystery.
Performances are scheduled February 2 - 4 at the Roosevelt Grand Dakota. This year’s menu includes a dinner salad, pasta bar with Italian sausage, grilled chicken, alfredo and marinara sauce, sauteed mushrooms with broccoli plus assorted cheesecakes for dessert and coffee.
Prizes will be awarded for the Best Costume and Sleuth Award for solving the mystery each night. Sponsor opportunities are available.
Tickets go on sale Friday, January 13 from 5 pm to 8 pm at the Roosevelt Grand Dakota (Demores room). Tickets are $50 for the February 2nd show and $55 for the February 3rd and 4th show.
Proceeds from the dinner theater help fund our grant program to enrich education in the Dickinson Public Schools.
Note: Not appropriate for children, play contains spicy situations.
