A Sip of Murder
Five women--- the 'unusual suspects' --- and one dead guy. That is the start of "A Sip of Murder" --- an audience participate play --- set to debut at Chrissy's Cafe in Indian Lake, NY on Februrary 19, at 7:12 p.m. Part of the SnoCade activities "A Sip of Murder" will appeal to the secret private eye in any would be detective.
Personalities are tense at this meeting of the Adirondack Wine Tasters, especially since the president of the club was murdered at the last meeting. At that fund raiser there was some wine with a little extra kick --- enough kick to kill.
Happy hour has turned into happy horrors now that Froggie Fermente is dead. Someone made a withdrawal from the slush fund, another was left broken hearted and the French dame wanted to keep her secret a secret. And what mother wouldn't want to kill the 50-something playboy dating her 18 year old daughter or the woman with many virtues, but none of them related to romance? So many reasons to kill Froggie, but only one corpse and one killer.
It appears someone slipped poison in the samples at the last wine tasting. Everyone had a reason... and more importantly --- an opportunity to do the slaying. When you consider that the poison may have been digested even before the wine tasting started, there were many openings for ending Froggie's life.
The cast of suspects... or unusual suspects... are played by Kim Smith, Robin Jay, Georgia Burkhardt, Judy Stafford and Hannah Jay. This Gem*Boy Production contains local humor you would expect from a town called "Skunk Pond."
The audience will watch as the first act unfolds. Each character's reason for killing will be revealed. Then they will be in charge of going to clue sites to interview the suspects, and finding the murderer. Only the smartest of the investigators will be able to see through a false alibi.
