Dining St. Louis: Special Spotlight
Bissell Mansion Restaurant and
Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre
Presents
"It's a Wonderful Death"
November Through December 2011
The Bissell Mansion would like to invite you to the most enjoyable Holiday/Christmas entertainment this year - our presentation of "It's A Wonderful Death", a parody of Frank Capra's classic "It's A Wonderful Life". In our version, the cantankerous Mr. Potter is found murdered, but with so many suspects in Bedford Falls, the culprit is difficult to find.
George and Mary Bailey will introduce you to local residents as well as some characters who are strangers to this particular classic. Do you remember Uncle Billy, Harry Bailey or Clarence, the Angel? Have you ever heard of Violet Bick? And we can't forget about Bert, the cop or Ernie, the cabdriver. The audience will play all of these characters and many more. This is your time to "shine." Ask for a "starring" role or just sit back, relax and guess "whodunit" at the end of the show. So please join George and Mary to sort out the various motives and help solve old Mr. Potter's MURDER!
Don't miss out on this holiday fun. This interactive murder mystery is presented with a 4-course meal to DIE for! Make your reservations now, it would be a CRIME to miss out on this much FUN! Call the Bissell Mansion at 314-533-9830 or 1-800-690-9838.
