The Center for the Arts will present a dinner theater, Murderous Crossing, beginning May 6 and running through May 23.
 
Take a ride back in time to 1923, and join us on the HMS Victoria for an exciting cruise across the English Channel.

On this bizarre cruise not everything is as it seems, and it turns out the English Channel isn't the only thing being crossed. On the HMS Victoria, anything can happen! Whether you're a fan of murder mystery "whodunits" or the more serious queen of detective fiction Agatha Christie, you will find The Center for the Arts production of Murderous Crossing fun and comical.
 
During the cruise, strange events begin to unfold.

The famous Inspector Clurrot has tracked down a homicidal mastermind hiding out on board.

Meanwhile, the ship is the vessel of matrimony for Contessa Follette and John D. Rothchild-a marriage encouraged through financial need and murderous greed. 

As the night goes on, wedding party members are murdered one by one, and eventually everyone is a suspect.

Audience members become part of the mystery when they are recruited to stand in for the best man, bridesmaid, mother of the groom, and father of the bride.

This makes for a hilarious evening filled with thrills, intrigue, and laughter.
 
Murderous Crossing is directed by Cyndie Verbeten, and written by David Landau, with music and lyrics by Nikki Stern.

The hysterically funny cast features Chris McLaurin, Sydney Hicks, Alexius Puckett, Scott Adcock, Kaylin Davis, Ted Verbeten, and Michael Adcock.

The show makes for a delightful evening from start to finish. Dine  while deadly events transpire and enjoy a meal catered by Murfreesboro's Five Senses Restaurant.
