It's a Mystery comes to Skellington Manor
|
It's a Mystery is bringing back its 2006 comedy whodunit, "Murder in the Double-Wide," beginning at 6:30 p.m. Friday at Skellington Manor, 420 18th St., Rock Island. Other performances will be Dec. 9, Jan. 22 and Feb. 19. In "Murder in the Double-Wide," written by Scott Naumann, "everyone rolls into redneck trailer-park heaven and becomes detectives," according to the company. The evening begins with a laughable cocktail-hour introduction to the suspects and continues through a special gourmet dinner. At Philbin Skudwaller's luxury trailer park, you can join Flemm Hockin's life-celebration dinner as he prepares to pass on from the Terminal African Jungle Pigmy Virus. Pastor Prime officiates, but could something possibly drive him to murder? Margarita Conchita, a mysterious drifter who has settled here, raises eyebrows as high as one of her skirts. Poor Miss Chitlin County, Pooter Ann and Ol'Lurleene Louise Hockin-Loogie are still at each other's throats -- but are they in cahoots? Or could the eternally slow Mo Ron have committed the terrible crime? Leave it to Sheriff Buster Douglas to get to the bottom of it. The It's a Mystery package, including dinner and entertainment, is $35 per person (tax and gratuity included). Advance reservations are required; contact Skellington Manor at (563) 344-9187 or www.skellingtonmanor.com. It's a Mystery can be reached at (563) 355-6100 or www.itsamysteryqc.com. -- Jonathan Turner
