They have a killer evening planned at the Morris-Butler House in October. Seventeen characters from fact and fiction will join forces to help solve a whodunit in the progressive mystery play “From Dark Pages.”<\/p>\n

Shannon Borbely, administrator of the 1865 mansion museum, says the interactive play has been presented — with changes in the script — nearly every October since 1992.<\/p>\n

“It’s a smart show. You’re interacting with great real-life and figurative characters from the 19th century,” she says.<\/p>\n

They include Dracula, Edgar Allan Poe, Lizzie Borden, Queen Victoria and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.<\/p>\n

“Jack the Ripper is on the loose somewhere in the house. Sherlock Holmes is tracking him, and the audience gets to move from room to room with the action.”<\/p>\n

Joan Rapkin, who plays Queen Victoria, broke a bone in her foot in a car accident on the way home from a rehearsal and has something to hide — her cast. “It’s purple. I asked them for the darkest color they had,” she said.<\/p>\n

Nine of the home’s 16 open-to-the- public rooms are used in the 45-minute production; stair-climbing is required. Friday and Saturday shows in October are at 6:30, 7:30, 8:30 and 9:30 p.m. To reserve $10 tickets, call (317) 636-5409.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
