It’s Christmas Eve and everyone’s looking for a miracle. Two bumbling fugitives want help proving their innocence, the deputy DA wants a date, and Fred wants a vacation away from his overbearing mother. Private investigator Cactus O’Riley just wants a quiet night and a career change. What she gets instead is a merry, manic mystery that turns her life upside down, but might just prove the biggest miracle yet.

Gobble, Gobble, Death, and Trouble

He was world-renowned for his gourmet turkey dinners. Chef and restaurant owner Ramsey Gordon attracted food aficionados from everywhere to his fine-dining establishment, “The Golden Gobbler.” Known to be a tyrant of a boss and an ill-mannered business associate, his recipe for turkey has remained a secret for years, despite the protestations of those who proclaim that the ingredients and formula for such a succulent dish should be shared with everyone.

Last night, Gordon’s restaurant was to have been jam-packed with hungry customers, waiting for the chance to devour his famous main course. Yet, it was not to be. The famished fowl feasters were unexpectedly told the sad news that Gordon was dead, the victim of an unfortunate accident. For earlier yesterday, while lighting his personal oven – the one only he was allowed to use – an explosion
rocked the restaurant, putting an untimely end to the career of the duke of the drumstick. The circumstances were suspicious enough that authorities investigated and proclaimed the death to be not an accident, but a well-calculated homicide.

Who would have done away with the wizard of the white meat with Thanksgiving in the air? And what of the secret recipe? Was it written down and stored in a safe spot, or would it vanish from the
earth forever? Would “The Golden Gobbler” remain at the top of the restaurant heap or would Gordon’s death signal the end of a legendary gastronomic treat? Only sound logic and expert sleuthing skills would solve the case and ensure that no clues would be left over.

BCT’s Murder Mystery Troupe will present the interactive Murder Mystery

Are You My Mummy?

A reception in Exhibit Hall of the University of Great Bridge has been held to honor and celebrate Doctor Harley Diggs’ discovery of the Mystery Mummy, which sports the Star of Egypt Diamond in a rare headpiece. Dr. Diggs unearthed the Mystery Mummy six months ago.

At 11:30 at night, the power goes out! The beam of a flashlight shines in the darkness, illuminating Dr. Diggs, now lying dead on the floor – an ancient Abyssinian dagger in his back! Once the lights are back on, another discovery is unearthed – the disappearance of the Star of Egypt Diamond, missing from the headpiece worn by the Mystery Mummy – a diamond worth twelve million dollars!

The old saying goes “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.” What unfortunate bad advice for the now-dead Dr. Diggs. For Dr. Diggs shared the head table this evening with other noted archaeologists and guests – all of whom were his enemies!

And Then There Were None at Laurel Mill Playhouse, Sep 11-Oct 4

And Then There Were None
by Agatha Christie
Directed by Mark T. Allen
Produced by Maureen Rogers

Location: Laurel Mill Playhouse

Friday September 11, 2015 through Sunday October 4, 2015
Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 PM.
Sunday matinee performances on September 27th and October 4th at 2:00 PM.

Ten guilty strangers are trapped on an island. One by one they are accused of murder; one by one they start to die. In this superlative mystery comedy statuettes of little soldier boys on the mantel of a house on an island off the coast of Devon fall to the floor and break one by one as those in the house succumb to a diabolical avenger. A nursery rhyme tells how each of the ten “soldiers” met his death until there were none. Eight guests who have never met each other or their apparently absent host and hostess are lured to the island and, along with the two house servants, marooned. A mysterious voice accuses each of having gotten away with murder and then one drops dead – poisoned. One down and nine to go!

Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.. Performances run weekends from Friday September 11, 2015 through Sunday October 4, 2015 with Friday and Saturday evening performances at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 for general admission.
