Get out your lucky hat, because the Proscenium Players in conjunction with the Gold Dust West Hotel and Casino in Carson City is about to unveil a mystery dinner show that spoofs the movie “Casablanca” and the American dream of winning the jackpot. Penned by Tony Schwartz and Marylou Ambrose, the show, "Dealt a Deadly Hand: Murder at the Carson City Casino Royale," takes place at Rick’s club, the first legal gambling casino in Carson City. Rick dreams of striking it rich – then two crafty Native Americans try to claim the land and his gold-digging ex-wife Lola shows up. Throw in a two-faced lawyer, an Australian Croc Chaser with bad luck, and two little old ladies on a gambling mission, and "making a killing" takes on a whole new meaning.

Will the Native Americans take over the casino? Will the Choc Chaser win back his farm? Will the Portabella sisters find their missing g-string? Will the lawyer decide how to play her cards? Will Lola and Rick get back together for richer or poorer? Will Candy ever get her chance to be a Las Vegas showgirl? And will Rick ever be cured of his Bogart complex.

We invite super sleuths ages 13 and up to bring their best detective skills and see if you can solve the crime! So come and keep your eyes and ears open and someone will cash in their chips at each performance. Prizes will be awarded to the first three people who correctly guess who committed this terrible crime at each performance.

What can you expect from an audience participation murder mystery? Fun the minute you walk in the door! Doors open at 6:00 p.m., when you’ll get a chance to mingle with the cast as they drop hints the show and give you a chance to ask questions while enjoying a drink from the no host bar. At 6:30 p.m., you’ll enjoy a delicious buffet dinner which includes beef and chicken entrees, dessert, and coffee and pre-show entertainment. The main show starts after dinner, at around 7:15 p.m.

Show dates are January 20, 21, 27, 28 and February 3, 4, 2012. Tickets for the dinner and show are $35.00 general admission and $32.00 for PPI Members, Gold Dust West Players Club Members, Students and Seniors.
