COLUMBIA, S.C.<\/strong> – Back by popular demand, Murder on Main Street<\/em> returns for an encore presentation on Thursday, July 25<\/strong> at The Venue on Main<\/strong>, located in the heart of downtown Columbia.<\/p>\n

Presented by the Friends of the Irmo Branch Library<\/strong> in partnership with LTC Hospitality Solutions<\/strong>, this immersive Mystery Dinner Theater<\/strong> promises an evening of intrigue, laughter, and vintage flair. Last year’s performance was a sellout, and this year’s encore is expected to fill up quickly—so early ticket reservations are strongly encouraged.<\/p>\n

Set in 1910, the play unfolds at the Grand Theater on Columbia’s bustling Main Street. The story takes a dark turn when Flo Conway, a knife-thrower’s assistant with big dreams of vaudeville fame, stumbles out of the theater with a knife in her back. But who had the motive to kill?<\/p>\n

Written by local author Licia Jackson<\/strong>, Murder on Main Street<\/em> draws audience members into a cast of colorful suspects: a jealous magician, a philandering senator, a vengeful wife, a fiery reverend, and a suspicious ex-boyfriend. It’s up to the audience—and madam Maude O’Riley—to crack the case.<\/p>\n

Guests will enjoy a full dinner while interacting with local actors and fellow amateur sleuths. One audience member who successfully identifies the killer will be crowned the “Super Sleuth”<\/strong> and take home a grand prize.<\/p>\n

Attendees are encouraged to dress in 1910s vintage attire<\/strong> for a chance to win the costume contest, judged by audience vote.<\/p>\n
