The Friends of Tuscarawas County Public Library’s 5th Annual Murder Mystery Dinner

The Friends of Tuscarawas County Public Library’s Main Library will host its 5th Annual Murder Mystery Dinner on Saturday, March 7th at 6:30 PM and Sunday, March 8th at 1:00 PM. The Friends of the Main Library is a 501(c)3 organization that raises funds for special projects at the library.

The Murder Mystery Dinner is $50 per person and requires tickets to be purchased in advance at the Main Library in New Philadelphia. Tickets can be purchased by cash, check, or card. Tickets purchased with a card will have a $3 per ticket transaction fee. Reservations are required by February 27th.

This year’s murder mystery is titled The Mobster’s Menu for Dinner and was written by Steve Long. The story follows the Gelato Gang as they crash a 1943 Street Fair on their way to Philadelphia. Ticketholders are encouraged to dress in their favorite ‘40s costumes to add to the ambiance of the evening.

“We are so grateful to Roxy Long for granting us access to one of Steve’s intriguing murder mysteries,” remarked Friends Board President Candy Beaber. “With the support of Chris Hart and other local actors, we are confident that this will be yet another successful murder mystery for the Friends of the Library.”

Dinner, which is included with each ticket, will feature a buffet-style dinner from Kathy’s Catering and include roast beef, seven-layer salad, broccoli salad, parsley potatoes, alfredo pasta, rolls, and a choice of dessert.

After dinner, guests will be able to ask questions to help determine who is the culprit, and those at each table will put forth theories after the interrogations. The table with the best guess will be the winner.

The Main Library is located at 121 Fair Ave. NW in New Philadelphia. Doors for each Murder Mystery will open 30 minutes before show time. For more information on the show, call 330-364-4474 ext. 221.
