Get ready to step into the Roaring Twenties for a night of murder, mayhem, and plenty of laughs!

Watts Hall Community Arts is excited to welcome Mystery 207 back to Thomaston on Friday, November 6th for an interactive murder mystery dinner featuring their original 1920s-themed show, Gin, Guns, and Guilty Secrets. If you joined us for Mystery 207's 2023 show, don't worry, you won't be solving the same mystery twice! This is an entirely new 1920s adventure, with a new cast of characters, new clues, and a new murder to solve.

Enjoy a delicious three-course dinner prepared by the culinary arts students at Mid-Coast School of Technology while professional actors bring the mystery to life around you. As clues are revealed throughout the evening, you'll work with your tablemates to uncover secrets, suss out motives, and figure out who among the suspects is guilty of murder.
