Check out these food inspiration photos for Kill the Music-Interactive Mystery Dinner by It’s A Mystery and supported by United Arts Wake County, on Saturday, Aug. 22, at 11 a.m. or 8 p.m.

While this isn’t a full meal event, guests will enjoy a generous spread of delicious bites while they play detective. Each table will have its own shared tray of treats to enjoy throughout the show:

☕ 11 a.m. Show: Brunch pastries, fresh fruit, and coffee

🍰 8 p.m. Show: Decadent desserts and coffee

🍷 A cash bar featuring beer, wine, and bubbly will be available at both performances.

As you enjoy your treats, you’ll help solve a whodunit centered around the reunion concert of a one-hit wonder girl group. Just when excitement is high and a new song is about to debut, something sinister may strike. Could one of the band members be silenced for good?

Reserved seating tickets are $55.
