There are also a number of Dinner Theatres being offered around Cape Breton for the enjoyment of our visitors and local residents as well this summer.
The Fortress of Louisbourg has two excellent events that have been running on Thursday evenings at 7:30pm all summer that are truly marvelous. The Murder Mystery Tour has been drawing rave reviews for the production and of course the location. What better place to have a murder mystery.
The production of "The Evil Thereof" was written by Sandy Anthony. During the evening you will witness the private dealings of the townsfolk as the tour guide leads you through the streets and homes of the 18th century town. Of course during the evening someone will meet with an untimely end, and as darkness closes in, you will join the cast of suspects in the candle lit tavern and help the sergeant figure out who did the nasty deed.
Time is getting short if you would like to take in this event. The last tour will be on August 26. Tickets are $24.90 and can be purchased on line or at the Louisbourg Town Hall box office.
Another excellent event held at the Fortress of Louisbourg is the Dinner Theatre production of "For Love or Money", by Lindsay Thompson.

The production will run on Wednesday nights at 6pm until September 1. Tickets are $45.00 each and can be purchased on line at www.fortressoflouisbourg.ca or at the Louisbourg Townhall box office.
