How about a little Western mayhem in your life?
The Old Theater is once again teaming up with the North Carolina History Theater for another fun comic murder mystery. This time it's a western. Mr. O'Blatherskite, the corrupt president of the railroad, has been found murdered in his private car. All the suspects are on the train: Sheriff Randy, a fatherly type of guy and his sidekick Arney, the Barney-Fife-like Deputy; Mac, a gambler and con artist and his sidekick the not-so-sweet Sweet Mary; throw in Duncan, the conductor, who used to own this railroad until Mr. O'Blatherskite won it from him with a questionable five-ace straight; and the determined lady bounty hunter, Jane Dade, who is tracking Mac and swears she will always get her man. Every soul has a motive, so who dunnit? With plenty of comedy mixed in, they work to solve the crime. The audience tries to solve it as well, interviewing the suspects between scenes. The best guess wins a prize! To add to the fun, everyone is encouraged to come dressed in your Western best! (optional of course)
All proceeds go to support The Old Theater and the North Carolina History Theater, both 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations. For more information, call 919-221-5362 or visit oldtheaternews@gmail.com.
