“One of our long time actors, Brian Files, has written an outrageous script that highlights the days of radio back in the 1950s,” said Dan Marois, who with his wife, Denise, have operated Mystery for Hire for 22 years, according to a news release from Marois. “Audience members become part of a live radio show and they are encouraged to wear their favorite 1950s outfits.”
“If you like comic interactive fun, the show is a treat,” said Marois in the release. “It also appeals to people who like to dine out, party a bit, and who enjoy theater.”
Mystery for Hire is Maine’s longest running professional mystery dinner theater troupe, they have performed more than 800 shows. Most of their business is for private group functions, but they also have maintained public shows at the Senator Inn on a regular basis.

The cast for the radio show includes Mystery for Hire favorites, including Bob LeBlanc, originally from western Maine, Brian Files from Gardiner, Julie Poulin, Kathleen Nation and Amanda Hinsey from Monmouth and Greg Simpson of Minot.
