Dive into an evening of suspense and delicious local wine with The Killer Script, a murder mystery dinner at Hardwick Winery. Experience interactive theater and a three-course meal on Halloween Eve in Western Massachusetts.
Murdery Mystery Dinner Show
Join us for a spine-tingling Halloween Eve Night at "The KILLER SCRIPT!" Experience an interactive dinner theater as you unravel the mystery behind a soap opera rehearsal gone awry. Engage with quirky characters, enjoy a delicious three-course meal, and immerse yourself in a night of suspense and laughter.
Join us for a rehearsal of the new Soap Opera, "The Numb and the Breathless". Hopefully, it will be picked up by cable, but someone won't make it to opening night. R.E. Mote, the producer of the show, upsets enough people that someone decides it should be curtains for him. Who could it be? His brother in law, the director, Frank Lee? The stage manager, Shannel Surfer? How about the rookie actor, Foster Granite? It couldn't be the "not all there" actress, Sunny Delight, could it? Come along for the ride and help figure it out, or just have a blast with our show
All of our dinner theater shows are interactive comedies. Participation includes questioning suspects, contests, reading lines or possibly even playing a role. Our shows are definitely geared towards adult audiences. We walk the line of innuendo and if the audience takes us over, we go with the flow. If there are children present, we check with the parents to make sure they are OK with "going there."
Event starts promptly at 6:30pm.
You may arrive early for a pre-show glass of wine or bites.
