JUST IN TIME FOR HALLOWEEN ! ! ! ! 
Polter-Heist, a Dinner Theater Whodunit,
to benefit Schenectady Civic Players’ Elevator Project


Take a walk on the spooky side when Schenectady Civic Players present Polter-Heist, an audience participation, murder mystery, dinner theater event by Tony Schwartz and Marylou Ambrose on Friday, October 30, at the elegant Waters Edge Lighthouse Restaurant, right on the Mohawk River at 2 Freemans Bridge Road, Glenville, NY. Proceeds benefit Civic Players current Centennial/Elevator Fund Project.

What can you expect from an audience participation murder mystery? Fun the minute you walk in the door! Doors open at 6 p.m. when you’ll get a chance to mingle with Madam Zelda Von Schpookum, Professor Lionel Specter, and other cast members as they drop hints about themselves and the show and give you a chance to ask questions. At 7 P.M. you’ll enjoy a delicious dinner while the cast keeps a low profile. The main show starts after dinner, at around 8 P.M..

The action takes place at The Mouldering Pines Inn, where the Bogeyman Outreach Organization (BOO), a support group for ghosts, is holding its annual convention. As BOO members, you’ll observe a séance, meet the Inn's ghoul-in-residence, and learn dark secrets about every cast member. Besides Madam Zelda and the Professor, you’ll also meet Phyllis and Jim Lodge, the Inn's squabbling owners, Dana Skullery and Fox Smolder, from BOO's Washington, D.C., chapter (or are they?), and Janet from Another Planet, a DJ with a past. Will Madam Zelda help the ghost relocate? Will the Lodges stop arguing long enough to get their hands on the treasure map? Is the Professor who he claims to be? And who committed the murder? The murder? That’s right—the murder! Someone will be ruthlessly murdered at the end of the show, and it’s up to you to solve the crime!

The Polter-Heist cast, directed by Rita Russell, features Schenectady Civic Players and Capital area actors Joseph Fava, Laurel Hayes, Robert L. Hegeman, Gary Hoffmann, Sue Katz, Cristine M. Loffredo, Angela Potrikus, and Mike Schaefer.

Ticket price of $55 includes the show and dinner. Dinner choices: roast sirloin, chicken picatta, herb encrusted salmon or veggie lasagna. For further information and reservations, call 518-382-2081 no later than October 26.
