Stonewall Resort to host two-day, immersive, murder mystery event September 10-11

Murder Mystery

Weston, W.Va. – Stonewall Resort will host an immersive and interactive two-day murder mystery event September 10-11 where the audience becomes part of the performance.

“If you’ve ever wanted to ‘get in the act,’ our September 10-11 Murder Mystery event is for you,” said Andre’ D’Amour, general manager at Stonewall Resort. “The performance, entitled ‘Marriage, Mob & Murder,’ will take place in different parts of the resort over two days, complete with cocktails, dinner and breakfast, and guests will be part of the show.”

D’Amour said event participants will be “guests” at a wedding joining two mob families together. Act One takes place in the Stonewall Library at 5pm on Saturday, September 10. Guests will then be treated to cocktails on the Lightburn’s balcony with dinner – and Act Two – to follow in Lightburn’s Restaurant. Wedding attire is recommended.

On Sunday, September 11, the event continues with a bountiful breakfast at 9am (and Bloody Mary cash bar) followed by Act Three at 9:30am in the Pecan Room.

This Romeo and Juliet – Mob Style – event gives guest’s a front row seat to figuring out the clues and solving this whodunnit.

Packages are available and include a one-night stay in Stonewall Resort’s lakeside lodge, the three-act murder mystery performance, steak dinner with 2 drinks per person, a cocktail reception with cash bar, and breakfast on Sunday.

For additional information or to make reservations, call the resort at (304) 269-7400 or visit the website at www.stonewallresort.com.
