A comedy “whodunnit” coming to RiverPlace this fall!

Four women, on their way to an evening at the theater, stop for dinner at the establishment owned by the ex-husband of one of them. Between the salad and entree, he ends up dead. Each has a reason to wish him dead; perhaps one did more than wish. Perhaps it was one of the other guests. Only unwinding the plot will tell which one is the murderer.

Girls' Night Out will have three different endings, so come more than once for a new experience each time!
