It’s Prohibition 1925 and alcoholic beverages are hard to come by, but not at Harry’s Happy Hideaway when the Highlands Cashiers Players present a dinner theater mystery entitled “Murder Not Prohibited.”
Scheduled for six performances at the Highlands Performing Arts Center, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, February 20-22 and February 27 – March 1, the show is one of the most popular of Jody Read’s Carolina Murder Mysteries, performed in the past by her acting troupe of HCP players.
The characters involved in this funny murder-mystery spoof are Harry Huckster, owner of the speakeasy; Daisy Darling, his wife and hostess/singer; Cal Apone, a tough gangster from Chicago who suffers from mysophobia (a fear of germs); Trixie La-Tour, Cal’s girlfriend; Righty Ragu, Cal’s right-hand man; Willy
Joe Cobb, backwoods still operator; and Hope Sober, militant brick-toting member of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union.
The audience, seated at tables, will enjoy a tasty dinner as they watch the show, and be given a chance to decide which of the suspects committed the murders that occur in the play. The first table to identify the murderer and the motive will be awarded an appropriate prize.
Details on times of evening performances and Sunday matinees will be available at the HCP box office, in local newspapers, and at highlandscashiersplayers.org, and highlands-cashierscalendar.com closer to the date of the February performances.
“Murder Not Prohibited” is the third play for HCP season subscribers and available to all others who would like to come eat, laugh, and test their powers of deduction in HCP’s production of “Murder Not Prohibited.”
