Tremendous! A grin plastered to my face like so much cement! My mother descended to the Mohonk Mountain House reception desk and signed herself up for next year!

The show was absolutely fantastic. From the very start we felt like we were part of the event. We were so impressed with the quality and the professionalism of the cast. All of them were amazing. Murder Cafe really cares about the people in the audience. It was a truly wonderful event; thank you for the joy!

It's 2024, and Belfry High is hosting their 20th reunion for the graduating class of 2004. The only problem is, it seems as though the invitations were sent beyond the class of 2004, and perhaps beyond the grave! Is someone here celebrating 100 years since graduation? What about that hippie? Did that guy just step off the Titanic? They definitely did not graduate with you. Well, whoever these ghouls are, they seemed to have brought some high school drama back from the dead. It seems like everyone is still holding grudges from years ago, and someone may be left fighting for their afterlife!
