Tickets are available for the murder mystery dinner fund-raiser for Illinois Valley Family Coalition (IVFC) on Saturday, Jan. 31 at Selma Community Center near Ray’s Food Place on Hwy. 199.
The humorous dinner theater production, Murder Me Always, has a Jazz theme. The doors will open at 5:30 p.m. The Tim Wallace Band will perform as guests arrive and cruise the salad and appetizer bars and browse the silent auction tables.
“A delicious dinner” is planned, including a choice of meat or veggie entree, dessert and coffee. Beer and wine will available for sale separately.
Murder director Jack Dwyer promises a better-than-ever production. The cast is rehearsing the scripted two-act play. Dwyer said that it’s coming together well. He said that some cast members are well-known favorites from the family coalition’s past mystery dinners.
Guests are welcome to come in any Jazz era costume and participate in the costume contest. A prize will be awarded to the first person to correctly guess the murderer and the method. Master of ceremonies Michael Yanase will keep the show running smoothly with his witty commentary and discussion of clues to the murder mystery.
