Murder She Wrote! July 1, 2016

"Oh dear, I never realized what a terrible lot of explaining one has to do in a murder!"
~ Agatha Christie ~

There were 7 ladies and 6 gents who attended the Murder Mystery Theater at 2445 S Craycroft Rd, Tucson, on Friday, July 1.

The evening started at 5 pm, with a “Great Race” from the Clubhouse to Five Palms.  The Hasson vehicle was first to arrive at the lovely building – shades of Miami Vice!

The others arrived shortly after, and our fabulous waiter, Nick, made sure we were not thirsty.  The Piano Bar was really enjoyable, and time flew while we chatted.

About 6:45 PM, we were shown to the dining/stage room.  Dinner began with a lovely wedge salad, followed by a great chicken and potato dish.  Dessert was a delicious Cheesecake.

The show was interactive, and the busy performers were also our servers.  Several magic tricks were performed for the audience, followed by a “Who Done It” Murder Mystery.  The performers were funny and talented, especially Miss Trixie.  We are still trying figure “her” out – 6 plus feet tall, and blinged to the max.

An added treat was having our very own Kelly on stage.  Then Ron and Christy competed in a Dress-the-Baby Contest, complete with a baby bottle – so appropriate.  Did they take it home?

It was a fabulously fun evening, and Pam certainly worked very hard to ensure we had the best venue and a wonderful time!
