And you’re the detective!
You’ll be transported back to the Swinging Sixties and the set of a televised dance show, where your host, Tommy Tremont (Donald Butchko), keeps the teeny-bopper dancers in line. This isn’t an easy task when he’s dealing with teen heartthrob, Chip Morris (Mike Majers), who never met a mirror he didn’t like and his ditzy partner, Trixie Conrad (Bryan Fetty) who proves that blondes do indeed have more fun! The other couple in contention for this week’s Spotlight Dance is that Italian bombshell, Maria Del Vecchio (Carla Petroski) and her partner, Ned Adams (Jason Mravec), who is tired of always coming in second best. This pair really puts the “loco” in the Locomotion. Making his debut in front of the camera is Spunky Speelman (Brandon Bauer). While Spunky is new to the scene, he’ll soon be strolling with the best of them. Of course, with all the energetic young people on the dance floor, it won’t be long before someone gets their toes stepped on. Tempers will flare and someone ends up dead. And it’s up to you to solve the mystery!
Get in on the fun by dressing up in your grooviest 1960s clothing – everything from love beads to bellbottoms to miniskirts. It’s going to be one groovy night!
We’ll be serving up classic cocktails, a delectable 3-course dinner, and a far-out crime that unravels with dance, deception, and delirious laughter. As the clues unfold and the plot thickens, keep your eyes peeled for intentional misdirection, backstabbing suspects, and outrageous twists to the story.
As the mystery unravels, test your detective skills, spin the raffle boards for a shot at big prizes, and outbid your rivals in our live and silent auctions. With vinyl vibes, shocking twists, and nonstop fun, you won’t want to miss your chance to crack the case—or become part of it!
