As you arrive, you pay your last respects to the sheriff who is laid out in his coffin and meet several of the locals. Over dinner, the town meeting commences and you become part of the townspeople (i.e., town banker, mayor, saloon girls, etc.) to vote on who you think shot the sheriff.

Mansion Club Murders
Mansion Club Murders This roaring '20's mystery was originally written to take over several rooms at the Wrigley Mansion and is the only show which can be performed in more than one room. We create an authentic 1920's speakeasy, complete with flappers, mobsters, and body guards. There are also surprise appearances by Rudolph Valentino and Mae West. Great for private parties or corporate entertainment.
