For 2008 The Loy Foundation has scheduled 10 special runs of The Potomac Eagle, 8 murder mystery dinner theatre events and two other special runs. Tickets will soon be available at The Bottling Works/Hampshire County Visitors Center and by phone from The Potomac Eagle 304-474-0736. Details to come soon, but meanwhile, check out the mysteries and mark your calendar for the ones you don't want to miss!
This year's Murder Mysteries will be conducted by Tom Valentine Productions and the themes will be as follows:
with the well-known characters of Professor Plum, Miss Scarlet, Colonel Mustard, and others. Just like the board game, the patrons have to guess the murderer AND the weapon….candlestick, lead pipe, revolver, knife, rope….and maybe a gun!
With apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan’s PIRATES OF PENZANCE, we go all aboard this sinking ship with Captain Bacardi, First Mate Morgan, and of course, a pirate wench or two with music and song emphasized in our pirate murder mystery.
Our rootin’ tootin’ cowboy murder mystery with good guys in white hats…bad guys in black hats, saloon girls, stagecoach drivers…and a home where the deer and the antelope play…But someone starts slinging a six shooter…so smile when you say that, partner!!
A 1950s time capsule piece featuring Greg the Greaser, Mary Lou, Dimwit Donnie, and Frenchy as they prepare for their big dance at Hicksville High. As the haunting Buddy Holly song plays, murder is in the air….and we finally discover who really slew Peggy Sue!!
A group of actors onboard the train are heading for opening night…with murder on their minds!! Here, the unique aspect is the murder that takes place during a “rehearsal” of their show. Join Donna Prima, Worthington Richards, Sweet Sally, and others for a spotlight on murder!
Grab your straw hats and Daisy dukes for another favorite of the patrons, where the actors play 2 different roles; one male and one female, with quick costume changes, who really is the guilty party?

What better way for the Halloween season than with a gaggle of ghouls, including Dracula, Wolfman, Vampira, Mummy, Frankenstein, and Bride of Frankenstein. They all have a howling good time…until one resorts to murder!
When these stand up comics take the stage, someone could really 'knock 'em dead'. You might die laughing at this free form adventure as they take suggestions from the audience, improvise several murder scenes, and even take volunteers to join them in a night of laughter....and murder!!
