A nightclub in the 1940s is the scene of a bizarre death. Possibly an accident or, more likely, a murder. Inspector Constantine could pin it on any one of these mugs: the gangster, the show girl, the French guy, or the Russian with a hatchet. Enjoy an outing riddled with clues and a buffet of sweet treats. Dress in 1940s costume for a chance to win a prize. Recommended for ages 15 and up. Written by Lee Mueller.

Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to 19th-century London seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett’s luck sharply shifts when Todd’s thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up … and the carnage has only just begun! Recommended for ages 12 and older.
