The stately Wilburton Inn is the spine-chilling setting for The Case of the Missing Mummy, an Egyptomania Murder Mystery Dinner on Saturday, April 29. This immersive musical mystery adventure takes guests back in time to 1923 to solve a mystery inspired by local history. Written and produced by Tajlei Levis, with musical direction by Brian Drutman, the play begins at The Vermont Explorers Club and sweeps through Hollywood on the way to archeological adventures among the pyramids in Egypt. The audience (encouraged to dress in elegant 1920s Hollywood attires or Egyptomania-inspired flapper fashion) will dine with the cast as they join forces to solve the ancient mystery. Tickets are available for a weekend “getaway with murder” package.
