# Event Details - **Event Name**: Death by Chocolate - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 08 May, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Fri, 08 May, 2026 at 09:30 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Nick Noir, private eye, has fallen on hard times. His botched last case has cost him whatever jobs may have come his way. Now he's at the end of his rope and is forced to fire his devoted secretary Selma. That is, until a call from Coco Purvis offers a tantalizing case that just might pay off for Nick. Coco and her sister, Bonbon, run Precious Perks Coffee Shoppe, which is known for its signature drink, Death by Chocolate. Unfortunately, the name came all too true for a fellow named Vinnie the Leech who died while drinking it one month earlier. Now, business has fallen off and the shop might have to close unless somebody figures out what happened to Vinnie. Nick is immediately confronted by some pretty strange characters. Bobbie Sue, the waitress, warbles like a country singer who can't carry a tune in a bucket. Bonbon is a sour, bitter woman who doesn't like to stir things up. Her “twin” sister, Coco, is the exact opposite, a bubbly, homespun treasure. Henry, an old man who wears cross-trainers and hasn't a wrinkle on his face, sits and watches all the action. Francois, more French than a bottle of Bordeaux, hides behind his newspaper. And who's the woman dressed in black, including a veil that hides her face? A dowdy bag-lady type turns out to be a restaurant critic and a perky twenty-something suddenly starts paying attention to the old man. All these characters were sitting in these exact spots the night Vinnie the Leech fell over dead. Though he fired her, Selma keeps showing up at opportune moments with tidbits of background information that help him piece together the puzzle, though he often gets the pieces in the wrong way. After a second death under the same circumstances as Vinnie's (which had been caused by poison), and the disappearance of Bobbie Sue, Selma plays a psychic who—with the help of her ever-present Blackberry—reveals some deep secrets. Armed with motives and opportunity for each suspect, Nick weaves his way through a lot of false deductions, but it all clicks just as a third murder is about to be committed. The motive for the murders? Money, of course—a lot of it, left to the twin Purvis sisters by an uncle they never knew they had. Nick earns kudos, and now maybe he can afford an office—and Selma. 📅 Showtimes: May 8, 9, 15, 16 @ 7:30PM March 10 & 17 @ 2:30PM 📍 Location: Roundtown Players 165 E Main St. Circleville, OH 43113 Presale starts 4/9/26 @ 10AM with code General sales start 4/16/26 @ 10AM Tickets will be available at our.show/rtpdeathbychocolate or a select number of tickets will be available at the door.
