Crack the Case: GNYM spends the afternoon with Perfect Crime
Manhattan 2:00pm
=====
A special performance of the show PERFECT CRIME
Snapple Theater Center, 210 W. 50 Street (at Broadway), Manhattan
=====
A secluded mansion. A would-be murderess. The perfect crime. Margaret Brent is an accomplished Connecticut psychiatrist -- and potential cold-blooded killer. When her wealthy husband turns up dead, she gets caught in the middle of a terrifying game of cat and mouse with a deranged patient and the handsome but duplicitous investigator assigned to the case. Perfect Crime has been called "a phenomenon" by Fox 5 News and "a true New York mystery" by New York magazine. Fans of Law & Order, Agatha Christie and Alfred Hitchcock won't want to miss PERFECT CRIME -- the longest-running play in New York City history.
Tickets for Saturday's performance of PERFECT CRIME are available to members of Greater New York Mensa at a reduced price of $40! To purchase tickets, contact the box office at 212-921-7862. Be sure to mention that you're with Greater New York Mensa in order to receive the special ticket price!
UPDATE: Originally, the performance was to be followed by a Q & A session. Regrettably, the post-performance discussion has been cancelled. However, the discounted ticket price will still be honored, and Mensans will be welcome to stay afterwards for a drink in lieu of the originally scheduled post performance reception.
