The Riverfront Playhouse is excited to announce A Season to Die For: A Romantic Comedy Interactive Murder Mystery Dinner Show by Robert J. Leblanc Friday, February 13th & Saturday, February 14th at 7 pm only! (Doors open 6:30 pm)

Join us for an evening of wit, laughter, and raging passion, along with a delicious meal provided by Licata Catering (licatacatering_r). It’s the perfect date night that you won’t want to miss.

Get your tickets now at : riverfrontplayhouse.net

🎭About the show:
Courting season is upon us, and the Viscountess Lavender Bridgton is hosting a gala to celebrate her daughter Daffodil’s 1813 premiere season. Among the guests: Stephen Hound, the Duke of Hasty, rumored to be courting Daffodil—much to the displeasure of her brother, Tony. Saucy Featherly, Daffodil’s lifelong friend and arch rival, will attend with whispers of her interest in Tony himself. Lord Nigel Ambrosia arrives sporting a fresh black eye, allegedly courtesy of Miss Bridgton. And if the winds are fair, perhaps I, Lady Thistledown, shall make an appearance.

North State Chronicles is a live storytelling event built around real people and true stories. Have you lived through something amusing, heartfelt, baffling, or unforgettable? This is your chance to share it — or simply enjoy hearing the incredible experiences of others. Each month features a themed prompt to spark memories. Storyteller names are drawn at random, and each participant has 5 minutes on stage (with a 4-minute warning). Stories don’t need to be memorized — just honest, personal, and told from the heart. At the end of the event, the audience votes by text for their favorite storyteller, and a prize is awarded.

We can’t wait to welcome you for an afternoon of real stories told by real people — right here at Riverfront Playhouse.
