When Sally Sugar, Harry Heartthrob, Linda Love, and Dominick Decocco receive special invites from Lady Godiva to the Chocolate Craver’s Convention, they cannot refuse to attend. They will be part of a special event where they can taste new chocolate concoctions to help the confectionaries determine what exclusive candies they can create. Our guests soon find out there is a seedy underside to the world of chocolate that invariably leads to murder. Come see Bluegrass Mystery Theatre’s production of Death by Chocolate by Jeffrey Roberts and see if you can figure out if chocolate is truly worth dying for.
