Get ready for a night of thrills, laughs, and suspense. Join us on March 2nd at 20:30 for a one-of-a-kind performance with our international guests.

The Interrogation, by Raining Cats & Bats Follow along as the mystery unfolds before your very eyes and try to solve the crime before the final curtain call. A totally unexpected murder happens during a social event. Everybody present knew the deceased, and thus everybody is a suspect. The interrogations begin, and with them the story unravels. Who had the greatest motive and who, ultimately, is the killer? Audience members should pay close attention as the interrogators listen to the same story from different angles and need to untangle the mystery and decide all together who the culprit is. As more and more clues are gathered, the killer is discovered and the inspectors, in a dramatic public announcement, reveal who the person responsible for the murder is. What do they have to say for themselves?

Is everything what it seems to be or is there more?

Pump up the Jam The Spark players will take the stage with guests for a festival of of games, short scenes and randomness. You might even get to participate too!
