Murder at Gatsby Manor tickets go on sale


 Come with us to the 1920s as the Sturgis Public Library is transformed into the Gatsby Manor on Thursday, October 1st at 7pm. 

Slip into your finest flapper fringe or dapper pinstripes and join us for an evening of jazz, mystery, and glamour. Sip mocktails at the speakeasy bar as the dazzling soirĂ©e unfolds; the festivities take a much darker turn. Fitzgerald’s body is discovered amidst all the glamour, and it’s clear he didn’t die of natural causes. Can you discover which New York socialite is to blame? 

You must purchase tickets at the library starting September 1st. Tickets are $25 each cash or check only. No refunds, but if you’re unable to make it, please let us know so we can find someone else to play that role. First come, first served. Wine and small bites served. 21+ only.
