On Saturday I was asked to participate in a Murder Mystery Dinner which was a fundraiser for my church's missions trip to Thailand. They needed someone to act the part of Rumpelstiltskin.
For those of you who do not know about Murder Muster Dinners, they are basically a themed party where everyone may choose to dress up or not. Upon arriving you are given envelops containing your characters information and objectives. It may give you specific information that no one else has or prompts you to go seek information from certain characters. You are also given a stack of bills with which to bribe and connive information out of people. There are however several main character around whom the story is based and these characters must be dressed up and in character the whole time. (I was one of these.) At some point in the evening, usually after dinner and dessert, one of the main characters is "murdered" and thus the task of uncovering the killer.
Our dinner was:
And was therefore a fairy tale theme. I was impressed with the costumes the main characters had made and put together.

| Rapunzel and Hansel (from Hansel and Gretel) |
These couples from my church did a great job and it made it so fun to be a part of the evening. I haven't done anything like acting in a long time and it was a blast.
