John Clark inviting you to join us on Sunday, October 19th at 1 PM (the Saturday Night show is already sold out.) What are we inviting you to? Nosh & Knock Off 2025, an immersive mystery event. This year’s play is called Dead As A Doormouse.
You shouldda kept quiet!
Nosh and Knock Off began some ten years ago as a combined acting opportunity for local talent in the Waterville area, and fundraiser for the Waterville Public Library. COVID-19 sent it on hiatus until last fall. As a member of the library board, I got involved in fundraising from local businesses and then setting up the day of the show. Little did I know how much fan Beth and I would have.
I couldn’t keep quiet!
The play takes place in the library, complete with culinary delights and libations for those 21+. We’re adding a 50/50 raffle this year. Those in attendance are right in the middle of a mystery with actors seemingly coming out of the crowd unexpectedly. Everyone is encouraged to figure out who the killer might be.
Who Dunnit?
Last year the library was turned into a speakeasy with the victim dying while giving a speech at the very beginning of the play. You could tell everyone in attendance was really getting into it. I expect the same will be the case this year. I am looking forward to having another fun evening while putting my sleuthing skills to work. Sunday tickets are $50 and can be purchased at wplnosh25.eventbrite.com
Hope to see some blog readers join us.
This sounds wonderful! Sorry I’ll be away that weekend. I hope you have a wonderful time and raise lots of money for the library.
Sounds wonderful! Hope the event is wildly successful.
Our chamber of commerce used to do this. Spirits, snacks and suspense for all. We were encouraged to come in costume. You could ask characters questions. They had to answer honestly even if their response was couched in evasion…except for the murdered who could lie through their teeth! I guessed correctly only once. It stopped during covid and never resumed.
