Valentine murder mystery to be held at Roma’s in Durant Feb. 8

Durant Main Street has teamed up with and Roma Italian Restaurant and Durant Community Theatre to bring you “Murder at Café Noir.”  Guests attending the third annual valentine murder mystery on Monday, February 8, are encouraged to come dressed in their finest 1940s attire. Everyone will get lost inside of a Humphrey Bogart private investigator-style movie as Richard Archer, P.I., looks for a runaway on a forgotten island in the shady local café, Café Noir.  

With the suspicious death of the café owner only hours before, Rick must solve the murder fast before his quarry ends up in irons.  Was it the black marketeer, the French madam, the voodoo priestess, the former British attorney, or his runaway femme fatale?  At times during the show Rick will let the audience decide what he should do next, and the decisions the audience makes will change the course of plot in this comic tribute to the Bogart era. 

Ticket are now available for the murder mystery dinner theater that includes a specially prepared Italian meal by Roma’s.

Guests arrive at 6:00 p.m. and may mix and mingle until the meal is served at 6:30. Everyone is involved in helping solve the mysteries. The person sitting next to you could be the one who committed the crime.  

Cost for the evening is $65 per person, and tickets should be purchased in advance as seating is limited. Credit cards are accepted, and no reservations can be accepted without payment.
