Is it Colonel Mustard in the Library with the candlestick? Is it Miss Scarlet in the Conservatory with the knife? Or is it Roberta Gleiter in the Chemistry Lab with a volatile mixture?
Join us for a tantalizing dinner,
intriguing conversation and captivating entertainment. On
Friday night, June 25th, you are invited to participate
in an original Mystery Dinner Theater being created for
SWE by Murder, Ink. The murder and mayhem will be
presented between courses so you will have plenty of time
to interview the suspects, collaborate with the sleuths
at your table and solve the mystery. The scene of the
crime is just footsteps away from your hotel at the
Phoenix Civic Plaza.
Seating is limited so get your detective’s ticket
soon. Special meals will be available if noted on your
registration form.
