N.C. History Theater Comic Murder Mystery on the Road
The North Carolina History theater's next comic murder takes you back to the charming days of the Civil War, where you're invited to help solve a murder… and guess the clues on a treasure map!
A Pinkerton man was slain in his carriage in the occupied town of New Bern in 1864, and a curious group of six suspects is caught trying to figure out who shot the man—and solve the clues to a mysterious treasure map. With lively dialogue, plot twists, and comic confrontations, this show is for everyone!
The next performance is Monday, April 3. For reservations, call 252-385-5225. The show and dinner are all-inclusive for $40 and include Tuscan Cream Chicken, dessert, soft drink, tax, and gratuity.
Audiences will meet Mervin McVale and his Little Women – a father, mother, and daughter who travel the country performing some (just between us) horrible Shakespeare where ever they go. Then there's crazy, malaprop-ridden Captain Stacey of the U.S. Army and his more level-headed sergeant's bride. They were escorting the Pinkerton man and a southern spy named Jane Dade, whose ability to escape rivals Houdini. And, of course, as the play unfolds, we find these six characters have an awful lot in common with that mysterious map of treasure hidden by them or their relatives back in the Mexican-American War.
Guests get to peruse the map and its clues to see if they can break the code while, of course, the characters visit their tables between scenes to answer questions and discuss the crime.
