Solve the Murder at the TonyLou Awards with Out of The Box
PRIEST RIVER — Out of the Box Entertainment presents an audience participation murder mystery, directed by Donna Maki, written by Tony Schwartz and Marylou Ambrose, and is produced by special arrangement with The Lakeside Players.
Maître d' Butch Lee welcomes guests to the TonyLou Awards Show, while celebrity gossip columnist Conrad Gabbles (Josiah VanMeer) greets — and insults — his fellow celebrity attendees.
The show is turned over to beloved host T.J. Hardcastle (Daniel Cook), heir of the famous singing, dancing and flying Hardcastles.
Has-been movie star Louie Lush (Joshua Herder) is toting more booze than the Budweiser Clydesdales.
Monty Carlo (Chris Coote) might be a star in his own country, but his English is almost unintelligible. Celia B. DeMilo (Beth Ann Sturgeon) has a weakness for young men, and her newest boytoy, Claude-Jean Van Dumbe, (Chris Reichert) will do anything to become a star. M.J. Hardcastle (Linda Cassella) carries a grudge against her brother and his wife, Angelina Canoli (Erin Zinke), who “wins” an award every year.
Is Funky Brewster (Shannon Holifield) as adorable as she appears, or is there a nasty secret lurking under that innocent exterior?
Prizes will be awarded to the first three people to correctly guess both the murderer and the motive.
The curtain rises on the first show on Friday, Sept. 18 at Positively 4th Street in Priest River. For more information on show dates and reservations, visit www.outoftheboxentertainment. org, find the group on Facebook or call Donna Maki at 509-671-1442.
