Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre by Sharon Black

In Kensington, Kansas, (pop. 399) the Kensington Commercial / Community Club put together a night of food and entertainment. It was a 1920s theme and the costumes the people arrived 

in were spectacular.  Even the men were dressed in that theme.  

After the dinner, the Murder Mystery Theatre Company began the program.  “Dun Dun Dun”  was murdered, and they wanted to know who did it. They chose suspects at the table. There was a mob wedding also in the mix of the story. Who killed the groom?  

They provided each table with a portfolio of clues and each table had to write on a paper who did it and why during laughter and giggles. 

One table did figure it out, and won a  certificate.  

Other players won a gift and the person that did it, “Gita Dun” was arrested, and let go.
