Past Year Events

February 24, 2012, "THE FATAL FIFTIES AFFAIR," February 24, 25, and 26, 2012

"The Fatal Fifties Affair," and audience participation murder mystery by Eileen Moushey, was the perfect choice for the first dinner theatre show, produced by the Walls of Wittenberg and performed by the Crossroads Community actors.

Cast members were Erin Hawley, Lois Anderson, Nancy Pehlke, Kathy Prahl, Dawn Meverden, Amy Martin, Scott McClellan, Gary Clark, and Miriam Nelson. All played their parts with melodramatic gusto.

About 140 people attended one of the three performances, all of which were in the WOWSPACE. Because this venue is long and narrow, the staging was tricky, but the action was lively and not a bad seat in the house.

Lisa's Sweet Shoppe Bakery and Catering catered the dinner on Friday and Saturday as well as the lunch for the matinee on Sunday.The audience found the performance and food terrific, many asking when the next performance could be expected.
