MYSTERY FOR HIRE show veterans Bob LeBlanc and Julie Poulin will perform in “Bingo Spells Murder” on June 28 at the Captain Daniel Stone Inn on Water Street in Brunswick. Doors open at 5:45 p.m. The show starts at 6:30 p.m. For tickets, call 373-1824.
After performing at the inn in February, the troupe will return to perform “Bingo Spells Murder,” a script written by murder mystery playwright Bob Mattson, through arrangements with Eldridge Publishing.
“The show is headed up by Father Patrick O’Sullivan who is trying to save the orphanage from a big city mobster and some pushy real estate agents who want to take over the building for their own profitable purposes,” Dan Marois, co-owner of Mystery for Hire, said in a release about the show. “There are lots of interesting happenings as the audience members are brought into the action and the guests actually play bingo while solving a crime.”
The cast features Dan Marois of Poland Spring, Julie Poulin of Monmouth, Brian Files of Gardiner and Maine native Bob LeBlanc.
“This crew of actors has performed collectively in over 460 professional murder mystery productions,” Marois said in the release.
“Mystery for Hire is well known for its comic antics and its ability to engage the audience in the fun of a mystery,” the release states. “Professional actors perform during the breaks of a threecourse meal as they present strange characters and fast action leading to a mystery that needs to be solved. Audience members are encouraged to take notes and write down clues during the show. At the end of the performance, the audience is invited to guess how the mystery happened and who committed the evil act.”
Tickets cost $50 per person, which includes the performance, meal selection, tax and gratuity. A cash bar will be available. Reservations can be made by calling 373-1824. Doors will open at 5:45 p.m., with the show at 6:30 p.m.
