‘Eclipsed!’ Aug. 28
A masked ball and dinner theater with audience participation in a murder mystery is “Eclipsed!” This fundraiser is for the Civic Auditorium in The Dalles, and will be held on Saturday, Aug. 28. Doors open at 6 p.m. with an open bar, and dinner and play begin at 7 p.m. Costume awards will be given for evening wear — the most glamorous, outrageous and unusual. This audience participation mystery/comedy invites you to become celebrated guests of Lord and Lady Moon at the Annual Moonlight Masquerade Charity Gala, with a diamond Tiffany necklace scheduled to be auctioned off at the event. But the necklace mysteriously disappears, and things take a decidedly sinister turn as members of the entourage turn up quite indubitably, irrevocably dead.
A limited number of tickets are available and are on sale at Klindt’s Booksellers or The Civic box office at 541-298-8533. Tickets are tax deductible.
