“Hooray for Hollyweird” @ Agatha’s
Grab your Oscar & hold on tight to your Golden Globes! Hollyweird's biggest collection of wacko stars want to move Tinsel Town to Georgia, but there's a psycho southern killer who has other plans! Just as plans are finalized to move Hollyweird California to beautiful Butt-Head Georgia, the mysterious Sweet Tea Strangler goes on another murderous rampage. No one is safe with this sugary sweet assassin in town. Can Atlanta Mayor Surley Frankly & California Govern-ator Arnold Squat-some-later stop the Sweet Tea Strangler before he spoils the big move? Probably not. I mean, come on, they're just politicians. It's going to take a Super Cop to bring this villan to justice. Let's just hope he arrives before the brightest stars in Hollyweird are snuffed out. Russel Crowbar, Britney Spheres, Sloop Dogg, Jessica Simpleton, Jim Scary, Jay Chin-o, Halle Barely and You are on the guest list to appear. "Who will disappear?", is the question. JOIN THE FUN AND FIND THE MURDERER!! IT MIGHT EVEN BE YOU! As always at Agatha's, the audience participates in the action in the comic murder mystery. Each night, the entire audience has a chance to die laughing between 5 courses of dinner including hor d'oeuvres, a choice of entree' and very cheap wine with the meal. Prices range from $45.00 to $55.00 per person.
