Stonewall Resort to host family and adult murder mystery events in November

Stonewall Resort

Stonewall Resort will host two murder mystery events in November — one for children and families, and one for adults.

“Who doesn’t like playing detective,” said Andre’ D’Amour, General Manager at Stonewall Resort. “These events have become so popular we’ve added one for families and kids to do together, as well as our regular, more adult-focused performance.”

D’Amour said “The Secret of the Cobra Kiss” — a new Natalie Drew mystery specially arranged to appeal to younger audiences — will take place from 6:30-9:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 16. Performer Lee Dean will lead family-friendly games following the event.

On Saturday, November 23, the resort will host “Murder at the Museum,” a more adult-focused ‘whodunit’ where the audience solves the crime. This dinner theater performance includes a three-course meal.

Individual tickets and overnight packages are available for both events. For additional information or to make reservations, contact the resort at (304) 269-7400 or visit the website at www.StonewallResort.com.
