What do you get when you cross a 1980s romance novel awards ceremony with murder? You get “My Fatal Valentine,” a hilarious murder mystery written by Eileen Moushey and staged/directed by Jennifer K. Shepherd. This fundraiser event is a co-benefit for The Wagon Wheel Theatre and Court Appointed Special Advocates for children. The show takes place at The Wagon Wheel Theatre at 7 p.m. Feb. 15. Tickets Are $35 and the cost includes desserts and a cash bar. Dress as your favorite 1980s romance character for a chance to win tickets to one of the Wagon Wheel Theatre’s upcoming summer shows. The event takes place at an awards ceremony (the Loveknot Awards), sponsored by Heartthrob Books and Fans of Romance Novels and being held in Warsaw. Each of five novelists are finalists for the Loveknot Award and will read excerpts from their masterpieces. There is 1980s entertainment sprinkled throughout the show. The audience is involved in the interrogation of suspects and ultimately votes for who they think “done it.” All proceeds benefit the Wagon Wheel Theatre and all of its youth and community programs and CASA.
