"A Vintage to Die For" Murder Mystery Dinner
Join Casanel and StageCoach Theatre Company as they present …
A Vintage to Die For
On a fog-drenched evening in 1947, a scream shatters the silence—and moments later, a woman lies dead, drained of blood. Detective Van Helsing stands over the body, haunted by a string of murders that defy explanation. As panic spreads through the community, so does suspicion, and Van Helsing’s grip on logic begins to falter. “A Vintage to Die For” invites you into a world of noir suspense, where the line between reality and the supernatural blurs. Can you help uncover the truth before the killer strikes again—or will darkness claim another victim? Don’t miss this edge-of-your-seat experience!
