Visitors to Bobcaygeon this July are in for a theatrical and tropical treat!
Globus Theatre has created an exciting and hilarious summer murder mystery for their 20th season. The Great Palm Tree Beach Tiki Bar Tragedy runs from July 19 to July 29. This interactive show will have theatre patrons turning detective to solve the mystery while dining and enjoying a drink in the beautiful dining room at the Lakeview Arts Barn.
The sun is shining, and the vacation vibes are tropical on Palm Tree Beach, at the opening of the island’s largest tiki bar. But there’s trouble in paradise for one reveller, as rest and relaxation turn into terror and tragedy. It turns out that, at this resort, the views really are to die for…and somebody’s going to wish they weren’t here! Fun, comedy and hijinks are the cocktail of the day in this hilarious dinner theatre experience.
Written by Artistic Director Sarah Quick, this comedic murder mystery dinner theatre stars some of Canada's best improvisors and performers including Kevin Sepaul (Drayton Entertainment, Charlottetown Festival), Jennine Profeta (Girls Nite Out; Second City), and Canadian Comedy Award winners Dave Pearce (SlapHappy, the Strombo Show, CBC), Connor Thompson (Lusty Mannequins, Second City, CBC) and Kerry Griffin, (SlapHappy, Second City; Bad Dog Theatre Co.).
Writer and Director Sarah Quick says, “We have produced over a dozen original murder mysteries to date, and garnered a real following of fans who enjoy a night of great food and fabulous performances! We like the variety it brings in terms of staging and theatricality as we like to offer something different each time our patrons visit us. Our company of performers are some of the funniest people you will find anywhere and are great at involving those audience members that want to participate (and leaving alone those that don't!) I write them the setting and the scenario and they take it from there.”
In addition to this mainstage show, audience members can choose to visit the Downtown Detective Trail written by Sarah Quick and Canadian comedian Chris Gibbs, before heading to the Lakeview Arts Barn. In this fun bonus experience, audience members follow an outdoor trail of clues along Bolton Street in Bobcaygeon - clues that will be performed live by Globus Theatre’s Summer Performance Camp youth participants. Together the Downtown Detective Trail and The Great Palm Tree Beach Tiki Bar Tragedy make up one fun-filled experience for visitors to Bobcaygeon this summer.
This interactive and exciting summer murder mystery will be sure to entertain all audience members of all ages. Seating is set up in cabaret style with 8 people per table while dinner and the action happens all around the dining room. Make sure to get your tickets now before they’re sold out. Doors open at 6:00 pm for evening performances and 12:00 pm for the matinee performance on July 22.
