This March, the Friends of the Round Rock Public Library will present their 12th Annual Mystery Night, Unnatural Causes. When 95 year old Jay Wray dies at his own birthday party, everyone's future hangs in the balance. About the Play and Cast Playwright Barbara Stopp Vance has written and produced 13 mystery events, and has had several plays performed internationally as well as across the states. The talented cast is made up of local county residents who have been seen in past mystery productions for the Round Rock Public Library Mystery Night, Sam Bass Theater, and the Georgetown's Palace theatre among other places. Mystery Night is food, fun and a three- act mystery play.
Audience participation is what sets Mystery Night apart form most other plays.
From the moment the audience arrives, everything they hear or see may be a clue to help them solve the mystery. Audience members are encouraged to break up into teams to look, listen and take notes. During the intermissions, they get to interrogate the cast members for clues and information. After Act III has revealed the culprit and the play is completed, the winning sleuths are announced. In addition to the food and play, this year's fundraiser will include a silent auction, which will run through the last Saturday performance.
