Happening Now:
This Murder Was Staged
A director is dead, everyone’s a suspect, and dinner is served! This Murder Was Staged is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud murder mystery comedy coming to Culpeper October 23–25 as CLT’s first traveling dinner theatre experience. The same cast and mystery will take the stage at three unique venues, each offering its own atmosphere: enjoy a cozy Family Style Dinner Friday at Little Fork Episcopal Church Parish Hall, dress up for The Grand Investigation Saturday in Kirsten’s Ballroom at Ferlazzo 1938 in downtown Culpeper, or spend Sunday solving a Murder at Brunch at Mountain Run Winery. One murder. Three venues. Same mystery. Which experience will you choose?
