This library is full of mysteries…and not just on the shelves. Think you can figure out who done it? Join us for a murder mystery night!
About this event
The Community Public Library has been a staple of this town for a hundred years. It has weathered it all, but Clarence Weatherby, head librarian, might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Clarence loves order and organization, but he can’t seem to keep his opinions to himself. No library patron or staff member has escaped Clarence’s cutting criticisms. Locals have stopped coming in. Donations have dried up. The library is in danger of going under—and the real estate sharks are circling. If Clarence doesn’t retire soon, it could be all over for the library . . . and there are some people in town who would do anything to keep that from happening.
Join Write Pittsburgh at 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 9, for an interactive online who-done-it mystery night that’s fun for all ages. Join in costume! Bring a friend! Tickets are sold per computer login (not per person)—which makes for an affordable family night or date night. Each sign-up comes with one town resident for you to play during small group puzzle-solving sessions. The murder mystery will be acted out for you by professional actors. Prizes, library puns, and one unsolved mystery . . . what more could you ask for?
Support Write Pittsburgh and enjoy a brain-teaser mystery all in one fun night!
Tickets are $45 per computer. Saturday, April 9, 7–9 p.m.
