THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT.
Everyone’s a critic… but who’s serious enough to kill over it?
You are cordially invited to an exclusive dinner party at the Van Alstyne mansion, where the final masterpiece of a legendary art collection is set to be unveiled in grand style. The wine is flowing, the egos are enormous, and someone won’t survive until dessert.
When murder strikes, suspicion falls on everyone — the pompous billionaire host, his razor-sharp wife, a shady art dealer, a flamboyant psychic, and more. In Shadows on the Canvas, guests become part of the action, questioning suspects, uncovering clues, and helping determine whodunnit — all while enjoying a delicious multi-course dinner.
Expect outrageous characters, clever banter, and twists worthy of the Louvre!
Doors open at 5:30. Show and appetizers begin promptly at 6:00 pm. The event is approximately 3 hours.
Age Restrictions: 13+
Ticket Includes: An immersive “whodunnit” show, appetizers, dinner, dessert, water iced tea, and lemonade.
Tables are in groups of 8. If you’d like to sit together at a table, you need to purchase all those tickets together, in one order.
All proceeds support local community theatre programming.

When Ren McCormack and his mother move from Chicago to the small town of Bomont, Ren expects the usual challenges of fitting into a new high school. What he doesn’t expect is a town where dancing and rock music have been banned by the local preacher, Reverend Shaw Moore, following a tragic accident that deeply affected the community. As Ren struggles against the strict rules and conservative attitudes of Bomont, he forms friendships with fellow students and becomes drawn to the preacher’s rebellious daughter, Ariel. Tensions rise when Ren challenges the town’s ban on dancing and encourages the community to heal rather than live in fear.
Filled with high-energy dance numbers and hit songs including “Footloose,” “Holding Out for a Hero,” and “Let’s Hear It for the Boy,” the musical celebrates youth, forgiveness, and the importance of listening to one another.
