[NEohioPAL] Immerse Yourself in “THE ROARING 2020s” opening in 11 days

[Jesse Oyster]

Everyone Loves a Murder Mystery, Until the Wrong Person Dies!

The Roaring 2020s: An Original Interactive Murder Mystery Dinner Experience,
will run for two performances at Reithoffer’s in Chagrin Falls on March 6th
and 13th at 6:30pm. Over a three course meal, catered by Normandy Catering,
guests explore an immersive world of malicious mobsters and spectacular
speakeasies while backstage drama slowly takes over. When the wrong person
is killed in the middle of the performance, the cast must break character
and solve the mystery of a murder that happened at their murder mystery
dinner experience. Tickets are on sale now at linktr.ee/reithoffers.

 The Roaring 2020s is unique, even among murder mystery dinner productions.
“I wrote this show to explore a unique desire among audiences, ” says
writer/director/producer, Jesse Oyster. “Attempting to break an actor out
of character is usually frowned upon in most interactive productions, but
that is where the real mystery hides in The Roaring 2020s. It's all up to
you to peel back the layers. ” Jesse has been an active artist in the Ohio
theatrical space for over a decade, having spent the past year as a cast
member in Ruth: The Musical and A Christmas Carol: a New Musical at the
Ohio Star Theatre. Jesse is a graduate from Kent State University with
degrees in Marketing and Theatre who loves to create unique artistic
opportunities to inspire local artists and audiences. “The Roaring 2020s
feels like Clue (1985) meets an interactive version of The Play that goes
wrong. Though I hadn’t seen either when I picked up the pen. ”

 “It is a beautiful blend between classic period murder mystery troupes and
a modern day setting, ” says actor James Bearss. “This play is an octopus,
just when you think you know what’s going on the other foot drops. ” Bearss
has been involved with the Roaring 2020s since the initial staged reading
in January 2024 and is excited to bring the heartbroken con man, Doctor
Hector Brown, to life alongside lead actor Connor Mast, performing the role
of Massimo Capone. “Hector is a comedic foil character that you love to
hate, while Massimo is more of a silent threat. Connor plays the role like
a mob boss kingpin who could break your spirit without uttering a word. ”

 Joining Bearss and Mast will be Talia Eshenbaugh as the Russian vodka
smuggler Bertha Bronowich, Brianna Clark as jazz singer Trixie Tiramisu,
Mario Becerra as the eccentric Chef Pablo, Corey Hughes as the aloof
henchman Stephano Bricker, and Sarah Parr as struggling speakeasy owner
Lucy Lancer.

 The Roaring 2020s is proudly hosted by Reithoffer’s, also known as Hoff’s,
Cleveland’s eclectic event center. “At Hoff’s, Our mission is to support
and preserve local arts and culture. ” Says venue owner Debby Heine Wein.
Hoff’s has a long history of hosting cabarets, murder mysteries, and live
musicians year round. Come indulge in the Roaring 2020s at Hoff’s and
unravel this mystery with us.
