Wilkes Playmakers in partnership with The Cultural Arts Council of Wilkes will offer "Murder at the Four Deuces" -two fun filled evenings of Dinner and Murder on Friday, February 26th and Saturday, February 27th at 6 pm. Set in the Roaring Twenties in a slightly out of town Speakeasy (Benton Hall), "Four Deuces" offers a chance for its guests to dine in the midst of some pretty suspicious characters from the 1920's. The mystery is filled with blackmail, bribery and nefarious schemes for all guests. During the evening the focus will change from food to murder as each guest finds themselves in the role of detective as they roam the rooms of Benton Hall in search of a killer! Dinner and cash bar will be provided by Key City Grille in North Wilkesboro. Tickets are $25 per person and may be purchased on this website (click on "tickets") or by calling 336-838-7529 or 336-838-1076. If purchasing by phone, leave your name, number and the night you wish to attend and a representative will get back to you soon. Mastercard and Visa are accepted. Guests attending will need to wear semi formal attire or they have the option of dressing in something from the 1920's era.

Wilkes Playmakers has been a part of Wilkes County Theatre and North Carolina Community Theatre since 1990. The organization is committed to expanding both the availability of and interest in the arts and drama in the Wilkes region of Northwestern North Carolina. The Wilkes Playmakers home is Benton Hall, which is the old North Wilkesboro elementary school located at 300 D Street, North Wilkesboro, North Carolina. People nationwide have been fascinated and intrigued with the Tom Dooley story for over a century. The murder of Laura Foster in the Elkville community, now known as Ferguson, in North Carolina was one of the nation’s first highly publicized crimes of passion. Tom Dooley hanged for the crime but many questions were left unanswered. The Kingston Trio catapulted Tom Dooley to fame again in the 1960’s with the song “Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley”. Visitors still travel from far and wide to visit the graves and tour the countryside where the story took place.
