March 6-12, 2003 mixpicks Mystery Men
Dust off your sleuthing hat and get ready to match wits with fiction¹s keenest detective mind. Yes -- Sherlock Holmes is on the case. The Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts invites you to assist Holmes and Dr. Watson in solving the case of The Society of Shadow Men, a mystery written by playwright John Pekich. Pekich studied the history of both Cape May and the late 19th century to bring an authentic flair to the caper, which is set in 1897. Guests are awaiting the arrival of President McKinley¹s representative in Cape May. He never makes it: Instead, he is kidnapped and a group calling themselves the Society of Shadow Men claim responsibility. Thankfully, Holmes and Watson are in attendance to uncover the culprits. From March 7 to 9 at the Marquis de Lafayette Hotel, participants in this weekend-long interactive mystery are invited to use their armchair detective skills to help solve the case. Be prepared to meet many an interesting character who may or may not be involved in this Victorian kidnapping escapade. Mingle with (fictional) Cape May socialites in the Key Ballroom, then head off to pound the pavement of the city looking for clues before meeting in Holmes¹ study to exchange information. Finally, Holmes will deduce the solution to the crime in The Pelican Club. Prizes will be awarded to look-alikes, for trivia knowledge and for best-dressed Victorians. If you enter your clue sheet, you can even find out how you stack up against the master detective. Stay sharp, because the game is afoot. The Society of Shadow Men, Fri.-Sun., March 7-9, $150 per couple, $80 per person, accommodation not included. For locations and lodging information call 800-275-4278 or visit www.capemaymac.org
