Carter Caves To Host Mystery Dinner Theater Nov. 4-5

OLIVE HILL, Ky. – Carter Caves State Resort Park will host a mystery dinner theater based on “The Addams Family” TV show, Nov. 4-5.

In this spoof of the popular TV show, the family is gathered for a reunion. Wednesday is home from college, her parents are worried because she is not her usual depressed, gothic self, and she is engaged to Eddie Munster. Morticia, Gomez, and Grandmama are strongly opposed to this union, while Fester is somewhat sympathetic – he’s such a romantic. Someone "offs" the poor kid Eddie, and his cousin Marilyn Munster, along with the help of the audience, must try to solve the crime.

“The Addams Family Mystery” will be performed by Fantastical Theatricals. The show is a Gypsy Productions murder mystery parody by John R. Logue. “The Addams Family Mystery” replaces a previously announced show based on “The Brady Bunch” TV show.

The cost for the dinner and show is $34.95 plus tax per person and $29 per child 12 years and under. The park is also offering a package that includes the dinner, show and an overnight stay in Lewis Caveland Lodge for just $131.95 plus tax per couple.

Seating starts at 6:45 p.m. for each performance. Call 1-800-325-0059 for reservations and information.

There’s also hiking, camping, horse camping, golf, mini-golf, fishing, horseback riding and cave tours. The park in northeastern Kentucky is 4 miles off Interstate 64 between Grayson and Olive Hill (exit 161).
