Murder at the Speakeasy
A fundraiser and Prohibition era whodunit.
Dutch Schultz has opened a speakeasy to give girlfriend Lu Lu a place to sing but flapper Rosie isn’t having it. You’ll dance, dine and gulp the best hooch anywhere until tempers flair, bullets rain and the law shows up. A body will fall and it doesn’t look like the Charleston did it.
Whodunit and why?
Saturday, September 7th at 3.00 PM
