Murder Mystery Golf Outing @ The Squirrel is an event like no other! This event will combine the classic Murder Mystery Dinner format with a fun golf outing hosted in collaboration with actors from What a Do Theatre! Registration will begin at 3:00PM. Beginning promptly at 4:00pm, the event kicks off with a cocktail hour with light appetizers where you'll be introduced to the actors/suspects of the evening! Then, at 5:00PM, we'll tee off. The actors will transition to each hole, you'll receive additional clues at each hole, and be able to ask the actors questions. After your 9 holes, you'll come back in to make your guess on who the murderer is. The outing is $300 and will be a 4-6 person scramble. Each team's registration includes a $100 donation to What a Do Theatre to pay their actors and continue supporting their programming.
