Fountain Hills Theater presents “Pasta, Pistols and Passion: A Murder Mystery Dinner Party Fundraiser,” a fun-filled evening of laughs, dinner and mystery as patrons join Mama Rosa and her family at their restaurant, “La Speranza,” for the wake of her late husband Pepi, and then help solve his murder.

In an adaptation written by Susan Miller-Dee and Ross Collins, patrons purchase “La Speranza Bucks” to bribe Pepi’s family for clues.

The event includes a three-course meal and a silent auction from the late Pepi’s estate.

“Pasta, Pistols and Passion: A Murder Mystery Dinner Party Fundraiser” is directed by Ross Collins and produced by Allison Hacker with musical assistance from Seikai Ishizuka.

Cast members include Lauren Miller, Lilli Danseglio, Isabelle Bandt, Chloe Rozalsky, Henry Male, Mike Romano, Adam Gobeski, Anthony Alcorn and Adam Oberg.
