If the Roaring 20s piano player opens with Elton John’s “Funeral for a Friend” or the flapper closes with Billy Joel’s “Only the Good Die Young,” can the audience deduce, despite the anachronism, the killer of Vinnie Vermicelli?
"Mobsters, Molls and Marinara"
6 p.m., Wednesday, April 20, Cafe 780
“Be careful who you call your friends. I’d rather have four quarters than one hundred pennies.” -- Al Capone
UPPER BURRELL, Pa. -- You gotta know cement shoes from wingtips to find the gangster who done Vinnie Vermicelli wrong at Penn State New Kensington's murder mystery dinner theatre presentation, "Mobsters, Molls and Marinara," at 6 p.m., Wednesday, April 20, in the campus' Cafe 780.
A scheduling conflict precludes Nancy Drew from solving the conundrum, so the interactive production will rely on the audience to ascertain the identity of the perpetrator of this most foul deed. Seated in the midst of Vinnie’s speakeasy, would-be sleuths must finger the rogue who had a smile that went a long way, but who also had a gun that went even further.
Tickets are free for campus students with an ID, $10 for faculty and staff and $20 for the general public. Price includes dinner and the performance. To reserve your seat, contact Lauren Blum, student life coordinator, at 724-334-6063 or ldb14@psu.edu.
The production is handled by the cast of Mystery's Most Wanted, a Pittsburgh-based ensemble. Mystery's Most Wanted has been performing murder mystery dinner theatre in the region for 13 years. The troupe comprises five professional character actors who have strong improvisation skills. They write and perform the original comedic mysteries.
