In partnership with Ohio Health, Athens Sunrise Rotary is proud to present: The Last Luau, a Murder Mystery Dinner Theater.
Snack food superstar, Penny Poppins, plans to celebrate her retirement with a lavish luau at the Hawaiian resort, The Private Palms. Before it’s time to party, she’s got to decide who gets the controlling interest in her company, Poppins Pastries. Her husband, Richard, wants her to give her shares to Sally, their daughter, but Penny's attention to the young, handsome landscaper, Lucas Loganberry, has both father and daughter worried.
Private Palms owner, Roscoe Drummond, hopes to persuade one of the wealthy guests at the Poppins' party to invest in the expansion of his fledgling hotel empire. Meanwhile, assistant manager, Beth Bell, plots with a co-worker to sabotage him.
The fate of Penny, Sally, Lucas, Roscoe, and Beth hang in the balance as all prepare for the party. For one of them, it will be their Last Luau...
