Attendees will watch as MCC Theater Department students, under the direction of Karen Oster, Performing Arts Chairwoman, play roles in a murder mystery staged throughout the first floor of Nesmith House. Hors d’oeuvres will be served and a cash bar will be available.

The plot of this year’s Murder at the Nesmith House revolves around a fictional wedding reception. Dillon Jackson and Lindi Armitage have just been married. Not everyone is happy about the union, particularly Dillon’s father, Bob Jackson, an obnoxious, egotistical tyrant. As skeletons tumble from cupboards, one member of the wedding party gets their comeuppance. Enter super sleuth Sherbert Holmes to help the wedding guests (the audience) solve a dastardly murder.
