Motivation for a Murder at Dennis Vineyard
- 7/18/2009
6:30pm - 10:00pm July 18, 2009 - July 18, 2009
Welcome to an inspirational and motivational evening with the world-renowned motivational speaking team of Will N. Lighten and Knowie N. Lighten. You will be uplifted and encouraged as you hear their message of positive thinking and generous giving. As in any successful business, there are many people behind the scenes who help bring it all together. You'll want to meet Wiley Foxx, the administrator of N. Lighten Enterprises; accountant Booker B. Slick; Simplicity Simons, assistant to Will; and Will's sister and Image Consultant, Scarlett Hughes. It has come to our attention that Detective Frank Earnest is also in attendance, so if you've got anything to hide, you may not wish to seek him out! Motivational speakers talk a lot about harmony with others and feeling good about yourself...tonight, however, you may notice discord and ill will which lead to murder! It will be up to you and your table of fellow sleuths to discover who the killer is. So, think of a clever name for your table, er, detective agency, and listen carefully for clues. At the designated time, your agency will be asked to formulate a question that your delegated chief detective will ask a suspect. Once all tables have completed their questioning, each detective agency will submit a solution sheet indicating "who done it" and why. The agency to determine the most correct motive and culprit wins. Stories and Characters © 2006 It's A Mystery This Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre is put on by "It's A Mystery" from Raleigh.
