News from the Port Polson Players
POLSON — Polson’s 1938 log theatre building on the lake gets winterized every year, and in the meantime, to celebrate their 49th season, The Port Polson Players teamed up with KwaTaqNuk Resort for a good old-fashioned Dinner Theatre Murder Mystery. My Fatal Valentine, written by Eileen Moushey, plays Feb. 9, 10 and 11, at Polson’s KwaTaqNu and features a cast of 25 Mission Valley performers and celebrities.
The KwaTaqNuk doors open at 5:30 on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 9 and 10, with dinner served promptly at 6:15; show time is 6:30. On Sunday the 11th, doors open at 10:00 am, with brunch served at 10:30 and show time at 11:00. Tickets are $45 for dinner or brunch including the show. A show-only ticket may be purchased for $15, which includes dessert and the show.
Reservations must be made through KwaTaqNuk by calling 406-883-3636. Producers encourage booking early for this popular event.
Set in 1997, Heartthrob Books’ Loveknot Award for ‘Best Romance Novel of the Year’ features five very different authors vying for a hefty cash prize. Each has his or her own deep, dark secret that culminates in a murder. Just before intermission, the murder occurs and patrons are encouraged to cast their vote to choose who they feel the perpetrator is. During dessert, the facts are laid out, ballots are counted and the villain is disclosed.
Victoria Michel and Zeke Keeler, Marketing Directors for the resort, have been working closely with Players producers Neal and Karen Lewing. “This seemed like such a fun project to warm up our winter with a great dinner and show combination,” Michel said. “We want KwaTaqNuk to be known as a destination for these kinds of special events.”
“We have the perfect cast for this funny, quirky production,” said the show’s director Karen Lewing. “If you’ve never attended a Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre event, you’ll enjoy a very clever script that is full of humor, intrigue, and plenty of mystery.”
As a reminder, reservations must be made through KwaTaqNuk by calling 406-883-3636, not through the Polson Players.
