WhoDunnit Murder Mystery will have you guessin'

The WhoDunnit Hoedown Murder Mystery Dinner Show located at the Shepherd of the Hills Playhouse Theater is full of fun and is loads of laughter as the audience tries to guess "who dunnit." You will enjoy a wonderful meal that consists of a cup of potato soup, BBQ pulled pork, herb chicken breast, mashed potatoes, string green beans and a yeast roll, before the show gets started. When intermission starts, you will help sing and wish Aunt Belle a “Happy Birthday” and eat some delicious birthday cake. 

This dinner show was created especially for the Shepherd of the Hills and has been seen by thousands of people since 2020. The setting consists of a surprise birthday party for Aunt Belle, but an untimely demise of the Legendary Fiddler Squeeky Bowman happens before the party gets underway. The show draws a lot of fun energy from the crowd, and it will be a totally different show every time because of the audience participation. Just an extra note — there will be no actual murder scene or violent scenes; this is definitely a "kid and family friendly" performance for all ages!  

The cast of performers and their character names are as follows:

Dan Embree: Uncle Penn

Dana Embree: Aunt Belle

Mike Tilden: Deputy Dewey Daw

Vicki Gonseth: Aunt Belle or Deputy Shirley Lockholmes (depends on the night)

Tori Smith: Deputy Shirley Lockholmes

Hunter Hull: Turner Justright

Four audience guests are possible suspects. Participating throughout the mystery, one of the scenes has them riding stick horses that they name. They have a barrel race that is hilarious to watch. We were introduced to Sockhead, Deputy Dewey's horse.

The guest characters at the performance we saw were:

Rusty Stillman played by John from Missouri, on his horse, Trigger.

Fiddlin' Fred Thumb played by Landon from Louisiana, on his horse, Darell.

Bertha Sweettea Bowman played by Jessica from Texas, on her horse, Bob.

Goldie Bigwig Platters played by Lana from Louisiana, on her horse, Midnight.
