First performance of series features interactive murder mystery
Another fabulous season of dinner theatre kicks off in North Charleston on Friday, September 18 with Last Will and Testament presented by The Crabpot Players. The production is a murder mystery dramedy filled with twists and turns presented by local actors. Dinner for the evening is catered by Embassy Suites and will include a pan-fried buttermilk chicken with sweet onion & tasso velouté. Tickets are on sale until Tuesday, September 15.
Last Will and Testament, written by Lisa Patrick-Wilkinson and directed by Jimmy Ward, the heirs of a deceased man come together for a dinner in his memory. To their surprise, his will is read, which states that he has an estate valued in the millions of dollars. Of course, everyone wants their own share and probably even more than just their part. Some may kill others all for greed. If so, will you help solve this mystery? This suspenseful production will make you laugh while leaving you on the edge of your seat.
