On Friday, March 26, the Mateel Community Center in Redway will be transformed into Lord Wellington’s Haunted Estate for a Masquerade Ball and evening of mystery dinner theatre. A fundraiser for Mateel’s varied youth programs, the all-inclusive event will feature a gourmet four-course dinner by Chef Moses Danzer, plus cocktails/drinks, and a murder mystery presentation by the Bay Area theatrical group, Murder Productions.

The play is set at a masquerade ball in the 1920s and attendees are encouraged to dress the part. Seating is limited to 100 people and interested attendees are requested to RSVP the Mateel office ASAP. The all-inclusive ticket is offered for $125 or $500 for a private table of four.

Proceeds from this event will directly support ongoing Mateel youth programs such as Youth Alive, the Summer Restaurant Skills Internship, Missoula Children’s Theatre, and Recycled Youth, plus help fund the creation of new art, music, and recreation programs.

Doors open with cocktails at 6:30 p.m. followed by the dinner and show at 7:15 p.m. For more information or to reserve your space call the Mateel office today at 923-3368 or send an email to office@mateel.org.
