MURDER ON THE TRAIL

We’re back for a one-night celebration! Foul Play Cafe, New Mexico’s premier murder mystery dinner theatre, presents Murder on the Trail – a fast paced mystery set in the old west of New Mexico.

Someone has been murdered on the trail, and Texas Ranger Granite Hardrock needs your help in solving the mystery. Chock-full of humor, intrigue, and zany characters, this show will also include actor improvisation and audience participation.

Murder on the Trail will pop-up Friday, June 24 at the Sheraton Albuquerque Uptown. Admission includes a four-course meal and a load of laughs.

This show is portable and available for private parties – to inquire, please contact the box office at 505-377-9593.
