Add some sparkle to stick season. Dress in your flapper finery for The Wilburton’s latest Murder Mystery Dinner Party Saturday, November 16 at 6:30.
“The Murder at Wit’s End” is an original immersive musical mystery inspired by the true Vermont story of the literary celebrities who summered at Neshobe Island in Lake Bomoseen in the 1920s and 1930’s, when America’s most famous drama critic, radio host and literary influencer, Alexander Woollcott ran his exclusive club on the island.
Guests are invited to join Woollcott’s famous friends -Harpo Marx, Irving Berlin, Dorothy Parker and other witty members of the Algonquin Round Table- as members of the club for the coming season. A rave review from Woollcott could make any book a bestseller, any play a hit, so Broadway producers, authors and stars are competing for favor in battles of wits, songs, and parlor games. Prospective members will have to play Woollcott’s favorite game of croquet (he cheats) and solve The Murder Game. Some are vying to win. Others are dying to get in..
Broadway Producer Ben Feldman stars as Alexander Woollcott and Grammy-award winning music producer Brian Drutman will musical direct and star as Irving Berlin. The cast includes local talent: Letitia Scordino, Tina Fores-Hitt, Nicole Mills, Theo Canter – and Joe Mozer as Harpo Marx.The Murder at Wit’s End is written and produced by Tajlei Levis, who creates original mystery events each year, inspired by Wilburton and local Vermont history.
The evening includes a three course dinner, the mystery drama, and professional photographer portraits. Cash bar.
Tickets are $75 plus tax and service. Weekend Lodging package available. .
