(MATAWAN, NJ) -- Spotlight Players presents Murder at Blackwood Manor - A Whodunit Mystery Fundraiser on Friday, October 7, 2026 at 7:00pm. There’s been a murder at Blackwood Manor... and everyone is a suspect. Join them for an interactive evening of murder, mystery, suspicious characters, hidden clues and some delightfully questionable behavior, all to support Spotlight Players and their upcoming productions.
A wealthy family has gathered at the mysterious Blackwood Manor for the reading of a final will. What could possibly go wrong?
Well. Murder. Murder could go wrong.
Throughout the evening, you’ll question suspects, gather clues, compare theories with your fellow detectives and attempt to uncover the killer before they get away with it. Dessert is included, because solving a murder on an empty stomach is simply irresponsible.
Tickets are $30 and available for purchase online. The venue is located at 883 Route 34 in Matawan, New Jersey. Dessert is included.
Come dressed in your finest gothic attire if you dare. Dressing up is encouraged, but not required. Your powers of deduction, however, may be severely judged.
This is a fundraising event benefiting Spotlight Players and our upcoming productions, so your night of amateur detective work also helps keep live community theatre thriving.
