2010 ~ Whodunit?: Death Hydes

Event sponsor

Whodunit? Death Hydes Dates: July 10, 11,17 and 18

Grab your deerstalker and notebook and get ready for another original murder mystery dinner theatre at the museum village. It is 1903 and you are invited to the Grand Opening of the Leafy Glen Asylum in bucolic Woodchip Hollow, to view the latest concept in psychiatric care: cottage-like homes each with a house mother, all overseen by distinguished scientists. The guests arrive, the mayor is ready to speechify, the doctors are in the house yet nobody notices that death is hiding, just waiting for an opportunity!

This event is a fundraiser written, produced and performed by Backwoods Players for Pickering Museum Village Foundation.

Tickets are $50 each and include dinner by the burbs bistro & bar, Pickering
Tickets on sale June 11, 2010 at the museum village and must be reserved in advance.
Doors open at 5:00 p.m.
City Partnership, please contact Pickering Museum Village for tickets at 905 683 8401
Event Location: Pickering Museum Village
Rain or shine event, dinner will still be served in the Oddfellows' Hall.
Guests should come regardless of weather since weather patterns in northern Pickering are rarely the same as the south, east and west neighbouring areas. If heavy rain occurs at any time, there will be a 30 min. delay. If after 30 min. rain does not end, we will cancel the show. If lightning occurs, the show is stopped immediately, and will resume when lightning has ceased. There are no rain dates.

This year we are pleased to announce Whodunit? catering
will again be by the burbs bistro & bar, Pickering.

Backwoods Players came into existence in 2000 as a natural offspring of the Pickering Museum Village's annual production of "A Spirit Walk". This award-winning play tells the story of Pickering's early settlers and their involvement in the ill-fated Rebellion of 1837. Backwoods and "A Spirit Walk" have been the proud recipients of the 2001 City of Pickering Civic Award for Culture and the Arts, and the Durham Arts Council "Acorn Award".

Today Backwoods has over 150 members of all ages, and stages a variety of productions, ranging from murder mystery dinner theatre to improv comedy / romance set in 1875 and the high drama of "A Spirit Walk" to the recent "Distant Shores: the Extraordinary War Brides". Backwoods specializes in period theatre and is proud to feature original materials, often with a basis in local history. Most productions are staged on site at the Pickering Museum Village, either outdoors or in 19th century buildings.
