“Who Killed The King” Hilarious Summer Murder Mystery Will Have Theatre Goers All Shook Up!

The town of Colligeon is well known for its annual Elvis festival. Impersonators and fans of Ol’ Snake Hips travel from countries around the world and there are impersonators on every corner! But the competition is fierce and, when passions run high on the closing night of the festival, it turns out that one Elvis has left the building…dead! Time for you to use your suspicious minds and turn detective as you try to solve the murder that has the town all shook up…we need your help, it’s now or never!

Written by Artistic Director Sarah Quick, this comedic murder mystery dinner theatre stars some of Canada’s best improvisers and performers including Kevin Sepaul (Drayton Entertainment, Charlottetown Festival), Jennine Profeta (Girls Nite Out; Second City), Canadian Comedy Award winner Dave Pearce (SlapHappy, the Strombo Show, CBC), Greg Komorowski (Food Network, Second City Chicago), James Barrett (Globus Theatre) and Kerry Griffin, (SlapHappy, Second City; Bad Dog Theatre Co.).

“The summer murder mystery is a real highlight in our calendar of shows. It’s such a busy, fun time that the theatre bursts with laughter as people eat great food, drink fun cocktails and socialize! This year I wrote the mystery based on the Elvis festival that used to take place in Collingwood each year. As a mash-up of Collingwood and Bobcaygeon, our festival takes place in the fictitious town of Colligeon.”  said Quick. “I have a great time writing the parts for our team of talented improvisors – imagining which type of Elvis impersonator they could be! In addition, as I wrote it, I got excited about seeing little Elvii performing around town as our youth performers take on the Downtown Detective Trail which is an add-on experience to the mainstage show. Both shows are definitely worth a watch!”
