This murder mystery features Rosemary Saint-John, a loud, annoying hypochondriac convinced she is allergic to water. Celebrating her birthday at a restaurant with her four sisters — a hippie, a valley girl, a trucker, and a banker — Rosemary makes enemies with everyone around her. When she disappears and is presumed murdered, the only objective witnesses in the restaurant are the audience members, who must cast their vote, according to a news release from Hallowell Arts.
Doors will open at 6 p.m. Dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m.
Tickets cost $30 and include dinner and the show. A cash bar is available. Reservations must be made at the Elks Lodge; the tickets are cash only. For more information, call 207-582-6520.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
