Cumberland
Firehouse Theater To Present Eat,
Drink, And Be Murdered Wrap your presents and put on your party hats,
because the Cumberland Firehouse Theatre is about to unveil a mystery
dinner show about an 80th birthday party attended by two
feuding Irish families trying to get their hands on the Wild Irish Rose
Whiskey recipe. Penned by Tony Schwartz and Marylou Ambrose, the
show, Eat, Drink and Be Murdered,
takes place at an 80th birthday party, where the McFaddens and
the O’Rileys have congregated to honor the family matriarch, Grandma
Rose. Trouble is, the two clans have hated each other for decades. The
hatred escalated when Rose, an O’Riley, married Finian McFadden and gave
him the O’Riley’s secret whiskey recipe. Now the McFaddens are filthy
rich and the O’Rileys are forced to work for them at the Wild Irish Rose
Distillery. Audience members will get to cheer and boo as the
two feuding families go after each other. Besides Grandma Rose, they’ll
meet Conor, Rose’s ruthless son, who runs the distillery; Seamus
O’Riley, Rose’s nephew, who works as foreman and dreams of taking
over; Father Mike O’Riley, a priest with a lot to hide; Cathleen,
Conor’s wife, who has secrets of her own; Hannah O’Riley, Rose’s
bitter, old-maid sister; and Nurse Kelly, Rose’s mysterious caretaker. The plot twists and turns even more when it’s
revealed that the cunning Grandma Rose has kept one whiskey ingredient
secret all these years. Every week, she goes to the distillery and, behind
locked doors, adds the ingredient to the mix. Will Grandma Rose divulge the secret ingredient?
And if so, to which family? What are Seamus and Father Mike plotting? Why
is Cathleen under Grandma’s thumb? Does Conor have even one decent bone
in his body? And who the heck is Nurse Kelly and shy does Rose love her so
much? Keep your eyes and ears open because someone will
meet an untimely death tonight and it’s up to the audience to solve the
crime! Prizes will be awarded to the first people who correctly guess the
murder and motive. The curtain rises on Dec. 3 & 4. Proceeds from
the dinner theatre event will benefit the What can you expect from a an audience
participation murder mystery? Fun the minute you walk in the door! Doors
open at Tickets for the dinner and show are $15/ticket
before Nov. 15 and $18/ticket after that. For information and
