Original Murder Mystery Coming to the Kean Theatre
'Hot Gun in the Summertime' is creation of Kean's own Tom Madden
Gibsonia, Pa. - May 11, 2009 - "Hot Gun in the Summertime," the latest installment in the Kean Theatre's wacky and popular murder mystery dinner theatre, will be presented at 7 p.m. Friday, May 22 and 1 and 7 p.m. Saturday, May 23 at the Mount Vernon Restaurant adjacent to the Kean Theatre in The Washington Place, 5847 Meridian Road.

The sensational group, the Bed Bugs, is having a record launch for their newest album at the Kean and everyone who is anyone will be there. But, wait!
