As part of RMTC’s ChristieFest, this special benefit reading of A Murder is Announced will take place with 11 of Winnipeg’s best actors. And you, the audience, get the chance to sleuth along with Miss Marple.
The residents of Chipping Cleghorn are intrigued by an ominous announcement in the town gazette. Is there really going to be a murder that evening? Miss Marple, among others, cannot resist finding out. Many clues, twists, and turns later, Miss Marple solves the crime, showing that seniors can be canny mystery solvers.
A brief intermission gives the audience the chance to guess "whodunnit" and one lucky detective will be awarded a copy of Christie's biography.
PAL Winnipeg is a not for profit, registered charitable organization dedicated to providing affordable housing and support services for older members of our community, particularly those in the performing and allied professions.

You will be guided in moving your partner through a series of yoga-like postures and Thai techniques. Both partners will have the opportunity to give and receive the sequence. The therapeutic flying of Acro Yoga uses the principles of Thai Massage along with gravity to further release and decompress the body.
