EVENT
Katrina Phillips wants to do things
a little differently. It isn't about the
murder or mayhem or even mullets.
Phillips is used to hosting murder
mystery parties but at the upcoming
"Totally Rad '80s Prom Gone Bad" at
H8ters on Dec. 22nd, all the partici-
pating characters won't have scripts.
"I guess around here that is dif-
ferent," she said. "It'll be kind of like
improv."
e interactive murder mystery,
which will take place from 6 to 9 p.m.
on Dec. 22nd, will include 20 partici-
pating characters and an unlimited
number of guests. Sign-ups for the
event will end on Dec. 18th to allow
Phillips and the folks at H8ters time
to prepare.
ose participating will be given
an envelope at the event which will
include money, for bribes of course,
and a list of objectives they must
accomplish. All the participants will
have a list of objectives and
must try to accom-
plish them while the others are doing
the same.
"Cool thing is it's all going on at the
same time," Phillips said. "It's like a
game of Clue."
is game, however, comes with a
list of prizes. e team at H8ters will
be giving out awards and prizes for
participants and potentially guests
if they can guess who "done it." e
awards will include best dressed,
drama king and queen, Mr. and Mrs.
Money Bags and the smoking gun.
Although everyone who attends
will have the chance to guess who the
killer is, Phillips said she's only done
one event so far where an audience
member guessed the killer.
"It's going to be a lot of fun," she
said.
e event will be themed in the 80s
and the team at H8ters and Phillips
encourage all that come to wear 80s
gear. In the past, this has included
about 50 people in total but again,
Phillips said, the guest amount is
unlimited.

Gone Bad can be purchased in ad-
vance through Bear at H8ters via
phone call at 910-835-5881.

acter and $40 for guests. ere

tickets must be bought by Dec.
18th.
