Crab Cakes and Murder, by Michael Druce, is a fun dinner theater experience presented by Freeport Players on Friday and Saturday, May 8 and 9, at the First Parish Hall, 40 Main St, Freeport. At Crab Cakes and Murder, you will enjoy a delicious dinner prepared by chef David Hansen, with appetizers by chef Tais de Los Reyes, and desserts by Tais and volunteers, while watching the cast of real “characters” as they present a play with some family dynamics, hilarious wordplay, a little confusion, many twists, and lots of fun. Doors open at 5:30, for seating. Show begins promptly at 6. Be there on time! For tickets to this dinner and fascinating whodunnit, go to www.fcponline.org. All tickets, at $45, must be purchased on-line, in advance, due to menu needs and seating. This is a good opportunity to connect with local theater-lovers and eat great food.

The main course is crab cakes or vegan (chickpea/hearts of palm) cakes with garlic aioli on a bed of mixed greens with balsamic glaze; roasted red and gold potatoes; sautéed summer squash & zucchini w/ herbs; appetizers (croissant sandwiches, veggies, fruits, cheeses, meats, crackers); choice of desserts. BYOB for alcoholic drinks. (There will be a cooler of wine and beer to serve yourself by donation.) Coffee, tea, and water will be provided.
