Event includes costumed suspects and screening of classic comedy film

TIPTON, Iowa–The ticket-ordering deadline for July 18's  "Clue" Murder Mystery Dinner in Tipton, presented by the Hardacre Theater Preservation Association, is this Thursday, July 9.

The Hardacre Theater Preservation Association (HTPA) will present the murder mystery dinner party at 6:30 p.m., on Saturday, July 18. The event, inspired by the popular board game, will feature local actors from the Cedar County Stoplight Players as cast members/victims, as well as an outdoor screening of the classic 1985 comedy/mystery film "Clue" starring Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn and Michael McKean.

The event will be held in and around the Spear House Bed and Breakfast, 120 E. 9th St., in Tipton. The event is sponsored by the HTPA, the Spear House, and Wiskus Construction.

Tickets for the dinner are $50 each for murder mystery participants, which includes a four-course dinner, the murder mystery and the movie screening. Only 30 tickets are being sold for the murder mystery dinner. Tickets to watch the film afterward only are $10 each and are unlimited to participants.

Tickets can be ordered on the HTPA website at thehardacre.org.

This is one of several HTPA-sponsored events planned for summer 2015. The group will also hold a Hardacre "Big Lebowski" Festival Aug. 8 in Tipton, featuring a screening of the cult classic comedy, live music and bowling.
