Village Follies is seeking actors for our production of Rachael Lord's "MURDER DOWN THE AISLE," an immersive, interactive murder mystery. Village Follies is a subchapter of Winnetka's Community House, a 501(c)(3) organization. All proceeds raised are donated to the Community House to be used for educational and community programming. Our "Winter Soiree" serves as our primary fundraising endeavor and this year we are presenting "MURDER DOWN THE AISLE."

Synopsis
It's supposed to be the happiest day of Ben and Katie's life- until what should be their wedding reception turns into a murder investigation. When someone drops dead at the altar, a dazzling detective must uncover "whodunnit" in this roaring, modern murder mystery. With a cast of characters including the sweet bride, the paranoid groom, the bitter bridesmaid who is certain that she should have been the maid of honor, the overbearing mother of the groom, an Irish priest who definitely shouldn't be a priest, and a questionable pianist, Murder Down the Aisle invites you to say "I do" as you enjoy an evening of delicious food and a laugh out loud comedy... to die for. Don't forget to bring your something old and something borrowed to this interactive murder mystery.
