“Cafe Murder,” was a hilarious murder mystery comedy. Rosemary is a loud and annoying person who is convinced she is allergic to water. She makes enemies with everyone around her. She is celebrating her birthday with her four “wacky” sisters. When she disappears and is presumed murdered, the only objective witnesses in the restaurant are the audience members, who had to do some detective work to figure out who did it and casted their vote. Who did it was it one of Rosemary’s sisters, the detective, the French chef, the waiters, or the hostesses? No one was above suspicion in this delightful murder mystery! Turns out the mischievous waiters did it or did they when Rosemary turned back up alive. The play was very cute and the cast had a lot of fun putting it on.
This was a play that everyone enjoyed. Food was be supplied by the PCP throughout the play for the Playhouse’s first ever Taste Theater. That means guest were served special treats during the play that reflects what is happening on stage. Guest were served a salty treat, toilet water (green sherbet and sprite), Pickles and what sandwich, Witches hats and birthday cake.
