(AVENEL, NJ) -- The Avenel Performing Arts Center presents Thank You For Being So Dead, a murder mystery, from September 28-30, 2023. Miami, Miami... You’ve Got Murder! Eschewing the 55+ communities, four women move in together to eat cheesecake, reminisce about a town called St. Olaf and sit at a kitchen table that only seats three. But someone out there wants to tarnish these golden gals for good.

It’s up to friends, family, and a sassy detective to figure it all out, before the lanai becomes even more lethal! (It’s really a PATIO, people.)

Performances take place Thursday, September 28 at 6:00pm; Friday, September 29 at 6:00pm; and Saturday, September 30 at 6:00pm.  Tickets are $65.50 plus applicable fees. Price includes dinner and gratuity. Cash bar is available separately. Tickets are available for purchase online.

The show is recommended for ages 14 and up. Note: this show was original scheduled for August.

The Avenel Performing Arts Center is a multi-disciplinary performing arts center located at 150 Avenel Street in Avenel New Jersey. Funded by the Woodbridge Arts Alliance, The APAC promises to energize Avenel and surrounding communities by programming exceptional, professional theatre, music, comedy, dance and more.
