Creative Discovery Museum will become CDM Studios for a night on Nov. 1.
The Clue Mystery Party is the first annual fundraiser organized by CDM's Tower Club group for young professionals and 96.5 The Mountain.
The mayhem and fun will be Saturday, Nov. 1, from 7-11:30 p.m. Cost is $40 per person. People making reservations by Oct. 15 will receive a $10 discount. Call Carla at 648-6054 to make reservations.
Like the Museum's long-time "Amuse"Um fundraiser, the evening is a party for adults that benefits kids. Proceeds from the party will support free admissions and scholarships to ensure that all children and families can benefit from the Museum's education programs and exhibits.
Organizers said, "Here's the pitch: 1930's...Chattanooga is one apple of a town, with celluloid dreams in the air until the opening of CDM Studios finds filmmaker Louie D. Flayer murdered in cold blood. The show must go on, though, and it's up to the visitors to crack the crime while the studio's actors and actresses get ready for the invasion of the talking film.
"Once the mystery's solved, there's a speakeasy with dancing by DJ Celebrations by Stutz and jolly up for studio visitors. Just be sure to dress the part, Dollface, in your best 1920s and 1930s old Hollywood glamour-inspired attire!"
Food and drink will be provided by Niko's Southside Grill, Carrabba's Italian Grill, Acropolis, The English Rose tea room, Meals by Mindy, Chick-fil-A, and more establishments to come.
The Clue Mystery Party is sponsored by First Bank, WDOD The Mountain, Tennessee Valley Federal Credit Union and Heritage Funeral Home.
The Creative Discovery Museum is located at 321 Chestnut Street in downtown Chattanooga.
