Ghost of the Sinclair Plantation Dinner Theater

Ghost web poster highTropicbird Entertainment presents Ghost of the Sinclair Plantation, an original murder mystery set on Kauai in 1888. This will be a dinner theater production at the Courtyard by Marriott in Kapaa on Friday, August 28 at 6:30 PM.

It’s August 1888 and folks on the Sinclair sugar plantation are knee deep in spirits — and suspicions! Plunge into the depths of the mystery as the ghost of the beautiful Beulah Sinclair haunts the stage seeking her murderer. The young, second wife of Kauai sugar plantation owner John Sinclair has been found dead on the sugar cane train tracks and it’s up to the audience to deduce who the culprit is among the plantation’s five residents.

Is it Beulah’s new husband, who lost his first wife just months before? Or is it John’s resentful spinster sister, or his rebellious grown son, Koa?  Perhaps it was Nalani, the long-time housekeeper or the high-strung plantation manager, who has a penchant for gambling and rum?  Motives abound as Sheriff Kamaka searches for clues. Beulah’s ghost rattles everyone’s nerves, while an ancient Hawaiian guardian spirit of the land weaves mystical rituals to restore the sanctity of the aina.

At the end of the show, solve the mystery and you could win an Ultimate Kauai Adventure Helicopter Tour for two with Sunshine Helicopters where you will learn about the legends and history of the island and see breathtaking views of the Na Pali Coast, Waimea Canyon, Wailua Falls and Mt. Waialeale.

Ghost of the Sinclair Plantation is written and directed by Kauai-based Nadya Wynd, an accomplished director and playwright, with extensive experience in screenwriting, acting and producing for stage and film.

Enjoy a delicious buffet dinner and a hauntingly fun evening of love, betrayal, murder and mystery with lots of surprises from an all-star Kauai cast featuring Nicole Cowan, Bailey Hutton, Bard Widmer, Jennifer Cullen, Chad Dellatan, Claudia Cowden, Nelson Kaai and Kaina Allard-Mahoney.
