On an otherwise ordinary fall afternoon, twenty-four Villa St. Benedict residents and staff members gathered in the Villa St. Benedict lounge to participate in a murder mystery. Each participant played a role in the mystery. The characters included Harry Highstakes, owner of the Deadwood Saloon, his wife Henrietta, the Sheriff, Gambling Jack and his wife Anna Belle, Mitch Maverick, a business man from the east who won the poker game, Holly Kickok, gambler, Banker Bob and his wife Banker Bonnie, Montgomery Money, who was in Deadwood on a business trip but is secretly trying to buy the saloon, and Black Barbara. Mitch Maverick was murdered and participants had to identify the killer. Clues were given to the players as the party went on, but only one person correctly identified the killer!
Everyone had a great time and expressed interest in doing another play or murder mystery. We are already planning a second event for the Spring. No one realized what talented actors and actresses we had on campus!
