Program Information
Pearl River Community College offers several choir programs to students who wish to learn more about their craft. These include: the Voices, PRCC Singers, Currents, and Rapids.
We invite you to come for a visit and experience some of the creative opportunities these programs have for YOU!
You have been invited to a masquerade hosted by Marshall Inglewood, the Governor of Louisiana. The party will be held at the governor’s posh New Orleans mansion (AKA – The Brownstone Center for the Arts). Everyone is expecting an elegant evening with hors d’euvres, dinner, and music—they aren’t expecting power outages, a mysterious theft, dastardly deeds, and unsavory scandal!
Mardi Gras, Masks, & Murder! is a murder mystery party wherein the guests will take the roles of Marshall Inglewood and his guests and staff and play those characters throughout the course of the event. At some point during the evening, one of the guests will be “killed” by one of the other participants, and the remainder of the evening will be spent piecing together clues in an attempt to determine who the murderer is.
Tickets are $35 each or $240 for a table (group of 8).
Tickets include:
Pre-Show Silent Auction
Hors d’euvres
Seated Dinner
Performances by The Voices, Currents, and Rapids
