Solve a local mystery while you dine! Put the clues together! Witness a thrilling story of crime with lots of twists and turns. Alma Faith, a lifelong resident of Gualala has just passed away after a long and eventful lifeapparently from natural causes. She is survived by only two grand daughters who have a long history of enmity, one living in Gualala and one living in San Francisco.

As Alma's family and friends convene at Gualala Arts Center for her memorial service, a new Sea Rancher and former LA crime reporter, begins to ask innocent questions. People quickly conclude that the cause of Alma's death might have been more complicated than it originally seemed.

This original play is set in the fair town of Gualala and unfolds in four scenes, enacted partly on stage and partly within the audience, as murder, adultery, passion and an ill-gotten family fortune emerge as possible motives for lethal crime.

In between scenes, dinner courses are served. While enjoying each course, the audience will have the chance to join the action by sharing their mystery solving skills and suggesting motive, villains and heroes to the cast.

The actors proceed to the next scene, and so on, until the very end when?? just perhaps the insightful audience has discovered the truth of the mystery!

Directed by Karen Serratoni, the cast includes Francie Angwin, Lynne Atkins, Phil Atkins, Diane Boeke, Jan Carter, Annan Paterson, Rich Schimbor, David Skibbins, and Sabina Walla. And, of course, the audience.
