The Murfreesboro Center for the Arts presents Southern Fried Murder in June as part of its Gallery Dinner Series.

The dinner begins at 6:30 p.m. nightly on Fridays and Saturdays, June 12, 13, 19, 20, 26 and 27, followed by the show, directed by Andrew Thornhill.

Way down south in Dixie, there’s something’s rotten in the cotton! Wealthy family matriarch Magnolia Capote has summoned her kin to dinner in a fancy restaurant to discuss her will. But when Mrs. Capote is killed with her walking stick, mayhem ensues and her possible heirs become involved. The audience is totally involved in this mystery/comedy with one member actually recruited from the audience to play a small part.
