”Cashin out at the Casino” was a hit and the cast was great to work with and full of energy and one liners. Although I have written children’s plays and one other play, the Bake Sale, this was my first murder mystery. It was more of a Murder Mystery Comedy instead of a serious drama, but comedy is my favorite thing to watch. The Buff Club Players are a great group of members that act, some even sing and all of them are dedicated enough to show up for rehearsal with me although I did have a lot of rewrites to change things.
The Murder Mystery dinner included a meal with the cast going around the room and giving their own clues during the dinner. We had a bunch of sleuths that guessed the killer. Everyone did a great job of trying the pin the blame on the next guy, or girl!
The Murder Mystery dinner included a five course meal with wine tasting and the play was shown at the Buff Social Club in Town of Niagara with a cast of 14. Here is a photo of the cast, with me hanging around in the middle of the front row, before the show went on…
