The Charlotte Murder Mystery Company returns with a cast of characters in “Hulas and Homicides.” The investigation is led by chief detective Ms. Tery with assistance from the audience as eight suspects are interviewed to solve the case.

During the luau, a feast prepared by John and Kelli and their team from Cafe 220, will be served by the footmen of the Historic Sharpe House. The Watering Hole will provide wine and beer for the event. Desserts by Crowning Events will top off the meal.

Doors to the luau will open at 6 p.m. The evening begins with a cocktail hour, silent auction and raffle.
