Murder Mystery Theater

We have started doing Murder Mystery Theater Dinners at Sherwood Hills. The last one we had was titled "An Heir of Mystery". It was so much fun. All about how this rich man dies and the family and help are fighting over the will.
I made these centerpieces, they were so cool. A couple of times the lights went out and the centerpieces were just glowing away!

So a little history on the centerpieces. There is a type of photography art called "Victorian Death Pictures". In the 1800's the way people mourned was to have a picture of their loved one taken after they had passed away. They are morbid if you ask me, but I printed them out on vellum, stuck them in the picture frames and then put an led candle in the middle of them. I was very proud of this.
The coffin.


The Maid.
The actors...
are so entertaining and...
hilarious!!! Love them!
One of the centerpieces on the food table. It looked so cool when the lights were off.
This actor's character had narcolepsy and fell right into his plate of salad, we laughed soooo hard.

Sorry this one is a little blurred but you can just see the attitude this character had...LOL!
If you ever get a chance and can make it up to Sherwood, it is totally worth it.
