“Threshold Of Death: A Murder at Cy Goddard’s Dance Hall” is another original murder mystery written just for us by local writing group The InkPlots.

Although the story line is not based off of historical events here in Hays, the play does feature some of the known and loved characters from the Hays Community Theatre’s Haunted Tours in addition to some new characters.

Doors open at 7 p.m. with a prompt start time of 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday Tickets are $20. A cash bar will be available.

Although it’s not required to dress for the Old West, HCT definitely encourage it. This is a great date night, or get a group of friends together for some fun and see if you can solve the mystery. Admittance is 21 and older.

Additional things coming up for HCT include:

• Auditions for “Steel Magnolias” on Wednesday, Jan. 23 and Thursday Jan. 24.

• “Murder Can be Habit Forming” show dates are Feb. 15 and 16. Look for tickets to go on sale soon.

HCT will soon be posting audition and show dates for their summer show, Disney’s “The Little Mermaid.”
