City solves murder mystery

Kind of…
It’s actually a murder mystery party, which if you’ve ever played the board game “Clue,” you know that it’s essentially a role-playing version involving murder, lies and appetizers.
The Whidbey Island Theater for Youth (WITY) is hosting this adults-only party on Sept. 28 from 6 to 9 p.m. It’s dubbed “Murder at the Deadwood Saloon” and the audience must solve a crime in which their party mates are the suspects.
Although WITY is relatively new to the community, the folks who run the business have extensive acting backgrounds and after visiting their Halloween makeup workshop last October, I bet the murder will look pretty realistic.
The party will be hosted at the BBQ Joint on Midway Boulevard, which serves up some of the best barbecue in town (crime could be the case of the 20 pounds of missing brisket?) Tickets are $40 for singles and $70 for couples which includes dinner but not alcohol. For more information call 675-1084 or email witytickets@gmail.com. People are encouraged to wear costumes.
