Castle Craig Players to Present Evening of Mayhem and Murder in THE CURSE OF THE HOPELESS DIAMOND

By:
Grab your friends and get ready for an evening of madness, mayhem, and murder! The Castle Craig Players will present "THE CURSE OF THE HOPELESS DIAMOND" - an audience participation murder mystery by Eileen Moushey - February 17-26 at the Almira F. Stephan Memorial Playhouse in Meriden.

Reginald Potter has his hands full. For one thing, his young wife, Daphne, wants to revive her Vegas career bankrolled by Reggie's money. Unfortunately, he doesn't have money - just the famous, fabulous, and very cursed Potter Diamond. You would think Reggie could count on the famous detectives he's hired to guard the jewel at a fundraising event - and protect HIM from the curse. Will Reggie survive the evening? Will the Diamond be stolen? Will the gypsy Curse on the Hopeless Diamond claim another victim? Find out and help solve the crime in this hilarious audience participation thriller!

Featured in the cast of suspects are Stu Wolther, Katy Wade, Jenney Rivard, Nick Demetriades, Cheryl Harnois and Wesley Tack. The show is directed by Melanie Del Sole, with Mark Laucella as Assistant Director and Adam Plumley as Technical Director.

"THE CURSE OF THE HOPELESS DIAMOND" will be presented for six performances only - February 17-26 (Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm, Sundays at 2:00pm) at The Almira F. Stephan Memorial Playhouse, 59 West Main Street, Meriden, CT. Tickets are $15, and seating is extremely limited! Tickets may be purchased online at www.CastleCraig.org or over the phone by calling toll-free 1-800-838-3006.
