Solve a Crime over Dinner

Mark your calendar to attend “Life With Father,” a dinner theatre whodunit by local playwright Mark Ogle, on Friday, September 30.

Able to solve any mystery, without a single clue! Or solve any mystery clueless! The doer of good! The purveyor of public safety! The champion of law enforcement! The one and only, Police Officer Harold is back! Audience favorite David Brace will be reprising his role of Police Officer Harold in the upcoming dinner theatre whodunit, “Life With Father” by local playwright Mark Ogle.  
    The one night only performance will take place on Friday, September 30, at the First United Methodist Church of Claremore. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25 and include the show and dinner. To make your reservations, please call (918) 341-4580. The First United Methodist Church of Claremore is located at 1615 N. Highway 88 in Claremore. All proceeds will go to the American Red Cross to assist those who experience a disaster, like a home fire or flood.
    “Life With Father” takes place in the Wayne family living room. It’s the early 1950s, after the war. From the outside, the Waynes appear to be your normal everyday family, but are they? Looks can be deceiving. What secrets hide behind their front door?  
    “I’m very happy that David Brace is going to be back as Police Officer Harold,” said Mark Ogle. “If anyone has made a character his own, it’s David with Police Officer Harold. When he puts on his uniform, he is Police Officer Harold.”
    Also returning is Dan Huey as the director of the production. This is the sixth Ogle play he has directed. He has also acted and built staging sets for Ogle’s plays for over five years.  
    “I think Dan and I make a good team. We work well together. I enjoy watching as he and the cast bring the play’s characters to life,” said Ogle.
    Each person attending will have an opportunity to use their detective skills and walk away with the highly prized “Super Sleuth Award.” A prize wanted by many, but that can only be won and taken home by one.  
    Come test your detective skills, enjoy a delicious dinner and help a great cause!
