We’re gonna have vittles, singin’, hootin’ and hollerin’ and, of course, no family gathering would be complete without the annual pig-calling contest! Dang, you might even win a big ol’ slop bucket full of money! Yeehaw! Best watch your step on the farm this year, though. Pa’s been hitting the moonshine a might too hard and is about to lose the farm to that no good snake, Beauregard Hogwallerin! When the girls find out, somebody could end up on the barbecue! “

the SOUND of MURDER
High on a hill died a lonely goatherd and some people around the Abbey are beginning to get the idea that sweet little Maria just might be a budding serial killer. Is she now at sixteen, going on seventeen? What exactly are her favorite things? Mother Abbess and her new assistant, Sister Adolph, are calling in all nuns and townsfolk to decide what to do. Even the pompous Captain Von Trampp and his bratty children will be there. Don’t be late. You don’t want Sister Adolph shaking her carrot at you.

​Murder Mystery Dinners begin with seating at 7pm. Tables are set up for groups of 6 or 8 up to about 12 people. If you are a smaller group you may be seated with other guests. Being in a group setting makes the event more interesting as you share clues etc.
Once seated, the first course will be on the table which includes salad & fresh breads served with tapenade, hummus & butter. The cast will mingling in a meet&greet with the guests, in character, and you are free to ask them questions, check for clues at your table or other tables or even volunteer to yell out a line later! Or just sit back and watch the fun unfold!
Following the first act, dinner is served 'family style' with platters of roast beef, pan roast chicken, whipped potatoes, rice pilaf, penne pasta with Marinara/vegetables/basil/parmesan cheese and refills are offered.
At the conclusion of the second act we serve dessert, our flourless chocolate cake appropriately named 'Death by Chocolate' with fresh berry sauce. The shows concludes and is followed by awards for best & worst picks of "who-done-it".
The entire event lasts just less than 3 hours. It's a ton of fun and best enjoyed with a group of people.​​​
​
Tickets are only available by calling the Castle. If you are looking to put a group together we recommend one person/couple purchases their tickets first under their name. Then as your friends call in they can request to be seated with you. The dining room is mostly set up with round tables that seat 8 people. Some tables are available up to 12 people. Groups larger than 12 will be split between adjacent tables. Come join the fun!!!
