Masquerade theme Murder Mystery Party! Feel free to join us in your best masquerade attire or just show up and join in on the fun!

“The year is 1755 and it’s Carnival season in Venice, time for the masquerade ball.

A chance for rich and poor, old, and young to come together everyone to be equal for a night. But when everyone is hiding their identity, it can be hard to know who you are talking to.

The question on everyone’s lips is who is the figure in red? Seen conversing with several guests but no one admits to knowing them.

A glass smashes and the figure is found dead on the floor.

Who were they? And why did someone want them dead? It’s your job to find out...”

@ Gloria Dei Lutheran Church (1290 Thompson Rd, Coos Bay Oregon, 97420)
