"Tumbleweed Turmoil at the Tombstone Tavern" on February 15

A dinner theatre murder mystery event at a local Batavia restaurant, which is a fundraiser for Shakespeare on Clark's summer production.

Shakespeare on Clark, in affiliation with All Dressed Up Costumes, presents a new murder mystery dinner theatre show called Tumbleweed Turmoil at the Tombstone Tavern. The play, written by Julane Sullivan & Carl Zeitler and directed by Sullivan, will feature a Wild West theme. The production will perform only night only on Sunday February 15 at The Range Grill & Tap at 35 N. Water St. in Batavia.

A variety of old west characters--the sheriff, the schoolmarm, the hired gun, the saloon gal, the ruthless cattle baron, and others--gather in the Tombstone Tavern. Someone gets ornery and one of these characters gets gunned down. Who will be the victim and who is the varmint that did it? Come join in the fun and find out! Enjoy comedy, mystery, songs, audience participation, and a chance at prizes. Plus you get a full meal and dessert, to boot.

Part of the funds raised will go to help fund Shakespeare on Clark’s summer production of Much Ado about Nothing.
