Recipe for Murder – a Deadly Cooking Competition

Gualala Arts Theater opens its 2015 season with an audience participation dinner that features murder as the main course.

The Gualala Arts Culinary Guild joins in to prepare a 3 course meal that will be accompanied by a side of intrigue and a serving of back stabbing, cooked up by a group of chefs that do more with their knives than just cut vegetables.

This will be an interactive murder-mystery play by GibsonHouse Mystery Performers. The play’s author is Katie Hassett, and John Gibson has made minor script changes with her permission.

The play revolves around an International Cooking Competition of renowned Master Chefs, who are known to occasionally break out in song… hopefully, these chefs will do this as part of the evening’s entertainment.
