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.
