Murder Prohibited at Hiwan

Murder Prohibited at Hiwan is a collaboration between Evergreen Players, the Evergreen Mountain Area Historical Society and Jefferson County Open Space, and offers an immersive, interactive mystery event within the former log home of Dr. Josepha Williams Douglas, built between 1893 and 1918 located on Meadow Drive in Evergreen. Murder Prohibited transforms the museum into the 1920’s home of former crime boss Victor Moretti, and the small audience, as “guests” for Moretti’s speakeasy party assist Detective Gunn in solving the ensuing crime. The original script was written by Nicole Dickson, ICMT Murder Mystery Company and adapted by Stuart Collins, Evergreen Mountain Area Historical Society. Murder Prohibited will be directed by Kathleen Davis.
The interactive format makes this unlike any traditional play the Evergreen Players have produced in the past. It’s part theater, part immersive experience, part escape room. The actors won’t just perform; they’ll engage directly with audience members. This is an INTERACTIVE murder mystery where patrons are the investigators! You’ll work in small groups to examine evidence, interrogate suspects, and solve the crime. Audience participation is required. The experience lasts approximately 90 minutes. Period attire (1930s) encouraged but not required.
