Murder and a Meal at Lake Barkley State Resort Park’s Dinner Theater

Tell me this doesn't sound like a good time!

As part of its Dinner Theater series, Lake Barkley State Resort Park in Cadiz, Kentucky presents a murder mystery on Friday, Sept. 24, 2010, from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. where the audience tries to figure out whodunit.

“Check-out Time,” a murder mystery about a troubled innkeeper and her staff, will be performed by Laughing Corpse Production Company out of Nashville, Tenn., with lots of audience participation (click on the link and you can see a video). 

The production company's website offers this description of the "Check-out Time" murder mystery:
"Welcome to the Sleep N’ Snore, a peaceful little inn nestled in the quiet hills of the country. Proprietress Minnie Barr and the inn’s staff, Manny Gerr, Kit Shennette and Hoss Kepping are struggling to keep the inn afloat despite a recent rash of bad luck. Unfortunately, things really start to heat up when Minnie’s ex-husband, Jack Cuzzi, makes an unexpected visit bent on blackmail!"

While piecing the clues together, guests will also enjoy an all-you-can-eat buffet, including salad bar, parmesan crusted chicken and beef tips, dessert and more.
