‘A Party to Murder’
through Nov. 14
prices and times vary
Just in time for the Halloween season, Derby Dinner Playhouse presents a holiday special. Six individuals are brought together in a remote cottage for what they believe to be a weekend of Halloween fun. A mystery writer has set up a murder mystery game for his guests. But when the game turns into real life, and the guests begin dying one by one, the weekend of fun is over. “A Party to Murder” is filled with unexpected plot twists and shocking deaths. Don’t be late – before the play begins the Footnotes take the stage to welcome guests with song and dance.
