There are several secrets hiding inside the 1928 building. One of them is the Moravian Sons Distillery tasting room in speakesy style to celebrate the 1920s and 1930s era. @moraviansonsdistillery

Coming Saturday, September 26, 2026! It’s our next interactive murder mystery at The Old Theater in Lowell, MI. This one’s 70’s themed, so get those bell bottoms and flared collars out of storage and come join us! 🙂 Songs, skits, dancing, and more! (Tickets on sale soon… more to come!)

SYNOPSIS: “The Groovy Hour” is an interactive murder mystery set in 1979 at a “live taping” of the fifth anniversary episode of television’s hottest variety show. Charismatic (and gloriously over-the-top) host Vinny Valentine is determined to deliver the biggest spectacle in the show’s history, but behind the bright lights, disco beats, and polyester suits, tensions are running high.

The anniversary special has attracted an unforgettable collection of guests: fading Hollywood celebrities desperate for one more moment in the spotlight, a washed-up vaudevillian clinging to yesterday’s fame, a no-nonsense producer struggling to keep the production from imploding, a face-painted glam rock sensation who thrives on controversy, and the colorful cast of The Groovy Hour themselves. Everybody is harboring secrets, rivalries, and motives of their own.

When murder brings the celebration to a screeching halt, everyone becomes a suspect. As audience members question the characters, uncover clues, and piece together the tangled web of backstage grudges, hidden agendas, and long-buried scandals, they’ll work together to discover who turned television’s grooviest night into its deadliest.

Filled with outrageous 1970s nostalgia, colorful characters, audience interaction, and plenty of laughs, “The Groovy Hour” is a fast-paced whodunit where the cameras keep rolling… even after someone ends up dead.
