Murder Mystery Theater Goes Underground

According to the 31 Down website, until October of this year there will be some mystery theater happening underground. Not so much the mystery of when your train will arrive, but an interactive murder mystery. It's set in the Canal Street subway station, picked for its noir feel, and features Tajna Tanovic and Mike Sharpie.

All you have to do to participate is call Toll Free 1-877-OR-WHAT-31 (1-877-679-4283) from any pay phone inside the turnstiles of Canal Street Station (at the NQRW, 6, and JMZ platforms, NOT THE A C E Station)...and your mystery will begin!

The NY Post reports that "more clues to the murder can be found in the walls and doors of the cavernous tunnels connecting the lines." That sounds sort of creepy.

Why would anyone want to spend any more time than absolutely necessary in the cesspool that is the Canal station?

Speaking of murder and mystery, that new HOUDINI book is getting mega media attention because the author claimed that the magician was poisoned and the dead escape artist will be dug up on his birthday, March 24th. Cemetery sight-seeing on Saturday, anyone?

Houdini shared the stage with Mae West in 1926 when the entertainers raised funds for a Jewish group: MaeWest.blogspot.com
