“Masquerade Murder Mystery Night” from page 1

During the dinner, while eight professional actors began
to interact with the Broken Sound members, a shot suddenly
rang out and one actor was “murdered.” Four members had
been pre-selected as suspects and clues were to be found
at tables around the room. All attending members moved
from clue to clue in an effort to solve the crime. The actors
made this a very engaging show. Finally, one of the members
was discovered to be the “murderer” by a winning team of
member sleuths.
The event was arranged with the professional
organization, The Murder Mystery Company, that had
garnered national recognition when first introduced on the
popular Shark Tank TV show.
