MULLENS, W.Va. – An evening of songs and shenanigans will entertain visitors as Twin Falls State Park presents Dream of Murder, an audience participation murder mystery presented by The In Cahoots Players of Fayetteville.
“During the dinner and play, the audience will solve the murder and rescue some bad hair-dos,” according to Ken Vance, event coordinator. “After the first act, the audience will have the chance to interrogate the suspects and guess who committed the nefarious crime of murder.”
Twin Falls will present this hilarious show on Saturday, Feb. 26. The performance will begin between 7:30 and 8 p.m. Tickets are $38 per person and includes dinner and the show. Overnight lodge and cabin packages are available. For more information or to reserve tickets, call the front desk or Ken Vance at 304-294-4000.
About the play
Dream of Murder takes place as an annual Telethon to benefit S.N.O.R.E , the Society for the Narcolepsy of Restorative Engineers (aka beauty technologists). A concert and fundraising event is presented to raise awareness and find a cure for this heartbreaking and hair raising illness. And, it affects us all…just think what happens when your beautician or cosmetologist succumbs to the sleep of Narcolepsy. The results can be devastating – but not as devastating as this telethon because a killer lurks in night.
