Posted

ROSENDALE - In celebration of its 24th year in operation, and its return to live and safe performances, Murder Café will be offering the new version of its popular Valentine themed whodunit: “Death by Chocolate.”

This dinner theater performance, which offers music, mystery and comedy, will be presented on Wednesday, February 9 at 7:00 p.m. at the Venue Uptown, 503 Washington Avenue, Kingston. Tickets are $59 per person, and can be purchased by visiting www.murdercafe.net. For information call (845) 475-7973.

The entertainment is suitable for all ages, costumes are encouraged but not required and guests will be encouraged to follow CDC regulations.

Murder Café owner Frank Marquette wrote Death by Chocolate. Actor Lauren Roberts of Kingston directs the 2022 edition, and she explains the plot as follows: “Danny Crunkle, owner of Dan-Dee-Can-Dee, is merging with Hershel Crackleberry his biggest competitor. Danny’s dinner guests include his soft son Goobar, nutty ex-wife Sister Godiva, creamy girlfriend Coco, crunchy attorney Fanny Farmer and brittle chocolatier Russell Stover. Before your salad is served someone will poison Danny’s sweet deal and you’re either a suspect or a witness to murder.”

Death by Chocolate is interactive and four guests will be cast as witnesses. Those who guess “whodunit” will be eligible for prizes.

The cast features the talents of Tom Roberts, Lauren Roberts, Jessica Boyd, Frank Marquette, Ellen Pavloff and Jim Keenen.

The ticket price will include a three-course dinner with entrée choice.

Founded in Las Vegas in 1998, Murder Café is the creation of actor, writer and director Frank Marquette, along with wife and producing partner, Kristen Marquette. Since returning to their native New York in 2009, they have been serving quality entertainment for both public and private events.
