Murder Mystery, or M&M, is a Risley major program that was started in 2019 by Jason Sheingold and Melanie Goricanec. M&M is an interactive show that revolves around a themed murder mystery and encourages audience participation to figure out “Who Done It?” This year’s M&M theme is 1816 (the year without summer) and is set in jail. Performances will be taking place in Risley on the first floor on Saturday, March 11 at 7:00 PM and Sunday, March 12th at 11:00 AM. This is highly interactive and would be best with groups.

Come by this Saturday for Risley's annual MRave! Come to dance, do activities and dine on our fine assortment of candy. Costumes are encouraged, but not mandatory and there is a charge of $5 per person for non-Risley members.
Our theme this year is Twisted Fairy Tale, so hold tight to that red hood and ignore the witch in the corner that needs help cleaning the oven!
