'Murder Point Blank' Asks: 'Whodunnit?'

The Arts Business Civic Coalition of Summerville presents "Murder Point Blank" 7:30 p.m. tonight and Saturday at .

Tickets are $30, and advanced reservations are recommended for this murder mystery dinner theater.

"Murder Point Blank" was written by David Landau with music and lyrics by Nikki Stern in 1993. The play is produced by special arrangement with Murder to Go.

This  interactive dinner show is the third story in the Cafe Noir series with the coalition.

In the play, Just Plain Rick has opened a photo display of “300 Years of Shady Business” at the Cafe Noir. An American detective looking for a murderess but stumbling across a gangster on the lam, a  beautiful French historian and a British lawyer with a desire to go night diving.  When the murderess ends up dead and the cop is implicated in the murder, it’s Just Plain Rick who helps him out of the jam by helping him find the real killer. 

Meanwhile, the gangster has assumed the mortgage for the Cafe Noir and plans on setting up his operations there, and everyone seems to be after something that sunk off the coast of Mustique in 1945. It’s a true 1940s style American mystery with the perfect mix of action, intrigue, humor and romance.

A whodunnit question is, at the end, put to the audience to solve.

Dress in costume for the 1940s film land — black and white encouraged.
