Arts Council’s Popular Mystery Dinner Theatre Tickets Now on Sale
The Hardeman County Arts Council will present Death of a Hot Sauce Salesman as its popular annual mystery dinner theatre production in February.
Death of a Hot Sauce Salesman, which is directed by Joyce Byers and Anthony Pulse, stars Prescott Knight, owner of the Hot Knights Genuine Pepper Sauce empire. On the morning of the annual Knight Family Barbecue, Prescott discovers someone is trying to kill him. A family meeting is hastily arranged, and Prescott announces he is changing his will so the recipe for Hot Knights will pass into the right hands. Hours later, family members find Prescott dead and the recipe stolen. Prescott’s family, his lawyer, the housekeeper, and the gardener are all suspects. With the help of audience members, who have been given clue packets, Judge Titus A. Drumm slowly unravels this spicy comedy filled with zany characters, outrageous lines, and plenty of hot sauce.
The production dates are Thursday through Friday, February 8 – 10, 2024. Tickets sold so fast that the Thursday performance was added to accommodate more people. Audience members may choose from a catfish or chicken tenders dinner, which will be served at 6 p.m. with the show beginning at 7 p.m. each evening.
Tickets are $27 each and can be purchased online now at www.hcactn.org. The HCAC box office, which opens for in person ticket sales on Monday, January 29, 2024, will have the hours of 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Monday and Wednesday, and from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday.
