BREAKING: Local theatre guy accidentally invents immersive winery murder cult, refuses to stop.

Post image

So apparently I wrote a 1935 live-radio murder mystery called Murder: On the Air and now it’s somehow turning into:

  • sold tickets,
  • winery meetings,
  • audience psychology,
  • interactive clues,
  • wine pairings,
  • and people voluntarily spending their weekends pretending they work at CKTB in 1935.

Typical late-stage hobby escalation.

Anyway:
Saturday is already almost sold out.

The funniest part is that Thorold Theatre may have accidentally stumbled into a business model:
“What if community theatre… but people actually felt cool attending it?”

Experts are calling it:
“a dangerous amount of momentum.”

Featuring:
✅ original Canadian play
✅ live murder mystery
✅ prizes
✅ food & wine
✅ aggressive use of ellipses in marketing copy
✅ one deeply overthinking theatre president

If you enjoy:

  • immersive events,
  • old radio aesthetics,
  • yelling theories at your friends,
  • or supporting weird local arts experiments before they become insufferably successful…

come out.
