Archmere Dramatics Presents "It Happened One Night..."

The Archmere Drama Club proudly announces its fall play production, It Happened One Night… Set in the the late 1920’s, John and Helena Raskob have invited you to dinner at their beautiful Archmere estate to celebrate their generous contribution to the building of the Empire State Building in New York City. You are invited, along with some of the most famous celebrities of the time period: novelists F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda Fitzgerald, actress Tallulah Bankhead, Mr. Pierre DuPont, Abbott Bernard Pennings, O. Praem, and many more. But, in the middle of the celebration, a person is found murdered! Can you help Detective Rochenbacher solve the murder?
Your ticket to the evening includes a three-course meal, entertainment, “Patio Bucks” (which you can use to buy hints and clues), and a chance at winning the grand prize for successfully identifying the murderer. And, since it is a week before Halloween, dress up in the style of the 1920’s to earn even more “Patio Bucks” to help you solve the mystery.
 
The Grand Prize will include many Archmere items and other surprises, including two free tickets to the Prom of your choice!
 
It Happened One Night… was completely written by the cast and crew of the show.
