Murder Mystery Caberet Opens the New Year

The Older Voices troupe will begin 2014 with a historically based Murder Mystery Play on Saturday January 25 at 7 p.m. at the Fergus Rugby Club building. The event is a fund-raiser for Neighbourwoods on the Grand,a non-profit group which plants and nurtures trees in Elora and Fergus. The play is set in the 1920s and takes place on a ship called the "Elora" which is sailing from Jamaica to Halifax. On the final evening of the voyage, Captain John Gilkison hosts a cocktail party for special guests and friends from Fergus and Elora. A band plays merrily as the guests interact and announce their plans for the coming year. During the party, Sir George Fergusson is found bleeding from stab wounds just outside the dining room. Chaos follows and accusations begin to fly. The Captain and a guest Constable restore order and the investigation begins.
More details on this event to follow in our next blog in early January. A listing of 2014 walking tour will also be posted.
