Victoria's Killer Dinner Theatre

Presents 

“Murder on the Oriental Rug!”

Move over -- or roll over-- Agatha Christie! Victoria's Killer Dinner Theatre is about to unveil a mystery dinner show that spoofs old-fashioned whodunits, the medical profession, “female problems,” and theater folks!When half the cast of “Murder on the Oriental Rug” bails out, the remaining performers are stuck playing all the roles. During the first act, you’ll meet a Shakespearean actor with a drinking problem, a washed-up former child star, a bimbo with a short memory, and a hapless costumer who finds herself onstage -- playing a man.

 During the “play within a play,” you’ll visit the exclusive clinic of Dr. Charles Ovary, renowned hot flash specialist who’s secretly treating a famous actress trying desperately to regain her youth. You’ll get to know the doctor’s devoted but clueless wife, his passionate female protégé, the actresses’ hunky husband, a flighty French maid, a shifty handyman, and an inspector investigating the dead body on the Oriental rug.

Will the play make it to Broadway? Will the performers remember their lines? Will the Shakespearean actor fit into the maid’s costume? Will the chalk outline come out of the rug? Will the inspector solve the murder? Will another murder occur?

Before the evening’s over, someone else will be ruthlessly murdered, and it’s up to the audience to solve the crime. 

Victoria's Killer Dinner Theatre is presented at the Travelodge Victoria, 229 Gorge Road East.

Tickets are $39.99 and includes a 3 course dinner plus the show. (drinks excluded) The show opens Saturday June 26, and runs Fridays & Saturdays throughout the summer beginning at 6:30pm.

Reservations can be made by calling 250-361-6246.

Musically, no detail is overlooked to re-create the true sound and excitement of The Beatles, with every song performed totally live and in its original key.

Ride the ferry to the Belfry Theatre

Belfry Theatre in downtown presents Bordertown Cafe. This play is a co-production with Prairie Theatre Exchange from Winnipeg, and is another great play from the Canadian canon. Take advantage of the scenic ferry to Victoria and cross the Salish Sea to take in an afternoon or evening at the theatre. You won’t want to miss a show that the Hamilton Spectator calls “…humorous, human, touching and recognizable…”

This play is a gentle and funny slice of Canadiana, filled with quirky and endearing characters. 17 year-old Jimmy, who grew up in a greasy spoon on the US-Canadian border, has a big decision to make. His soon-to-be-remarried father wants him to come and live with him in the States. His mother, Marlene, trapped in a life of missed opportunities, can’t seem to say the words “don’t go”. Marlene’s gregarious American mother won’t shut up. And her quiet farmer dad refuses to tell Jimmy what he should do. You’ll be touched and amused as you watch one gawky teenager become a young man.

The Olympic Torch links modern Olympic Games with the original Olympic Games in Ancient Greece. In modern times, several months prior to the Olympic Games, eleven “priestesses” light the Olympic torch at the site of the original Olympic Games in Olympia, Greece. The flame then begins its journey around the globe, ultimately ending at the stadium of the Olympics on the day the games begin. The Torch Bearer uses the torch to light the flame in the Olympic Stadium.

TORCH TO ARRIVE IN VICTORIA

As the torch bearers make their way across Canada, they will be making history. Canada has the longest Olympic Torch relay in a single country, ever. Why not make an effort to witness the passing of the torch? When the torch arrives in Victoria, it will be as close as it gets for those of us living in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Consider taking a ferry to Victoria, so you can be there, too.

The Torch Relay scheduled for Victoria brings the 2010 Olympics close for those of us living here across the border in the States. The Olympic Torch Relay for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games begins October 22, 2009 in Athens, Greece. Once illuminated, the flame with travel on a trans-Atlantic journey accompanied by host country Canada. Destination: Victoria on Vancouver Island, the capital city of British Columbia.

After its arrival, the flame will be accompanied by more than 12,000 torchbearers, who will travel by land-air-sea throughout Canada for more than 106 days. They’ll travel more than 45,000 kilometers (27,962 miles) before arriving in Vancouver on February 12, 2010 for the start of the Winter Games.

Don’t miss this historic event. Share the passing of the torch with your children.
