Program Description: 
Take a trip back in time to the Roaring 20's - a time of flappers, gangsters, prohibition and speakeasies. Participants will be assigned a character in this real-life version of the game Clue. Come dressed to the nines and be prepared to ask questions, examine evidence, and find the culprit before the cops shut down the juice joint for good! Preregistration is required. Participants will receive character assignments 4 days in advance by email.
