Murder Mystery Dinner for Sixteen
Generously Donated by The Keane Family

The Hotel D’Etoile sits on the banks of the River Seine in Paris, where it is well known for its popular casino, the Casino Fatale. Rumor has it that the casino is connected to a mysterious underworld character, the shadowy “Mr. X.”

You have been invited to a special event at the Casino Fatale on Saturday, May 15, and along with the other guests will be given a character to play, perhaps the rich English playboy, Lord James T. Burke, or the cabaret dancer at the casino, Felicity Phillips. 

All are encouraged to attend in formal evening wear. As they arrive at the Casino, they will be welcomed with a glass of champagne and a small card that explains their character. Shady alliances, blackmail and deceit are all encouraged.
Before the evening is over, the Casino Fatale will live up to its name. But who is the murderer?

(Note: The date of this event is set and can not be changed to accommodate schedules.)
