The tradition of mystery weekends at The Wilburton began 30 years ago when innkeeper Georgette Wasserstein Levis wrote a murder mystery homage, The Brothers Rosenblood, to her sister, Wendy Wasserstein’s Broadway hit, The Sisters Rosensweig. Since 2013, Tajlei Levis, known for writing vintage literary musicals, like Edith Wharton’s Glimpses of the Moon, has created new mystery events each year inspired by Wilburton and local Vermont history.
Prior Murder Mystery Dinner Parties Include:
Recent mysteries include THE MURDER AT WIT’S END. It is 1924, and Alexander Woollcott - New York Times drama critic and literary influencer- has invited select guests to join his famous friends - Harpo Marx, Irving Berlin, Dorothy Parker and other witty members of the Algonquin Round Table- as members of an exclusive Vermont island club for the coming season. A rave review from Woollcott could make any book a bestseller, any play a hit, so Broadway producers, authors and stars are competing for favor in battles of wits, songs, and parlor games. Prospective members will have to play Woollcott’s favorite game of croquet (and he cheats) and solve The Murder Game. Some are vying to win. Others are dying to get in.
The Million Dollar Movie:
It is 1955, and the new owners of RKO Studios (famous for King Kong, Citizen Kane, screwball comedies and the Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers movie musicals) are holding a secret board meeting at The Wilburton to choose the team for one last movie. In a clash of ambition and revenge, the stars and executives compete to make one last RKO studio production. Everyone is dying to be a part of it! Will this swanky soiree include getting away – with murder?
