Love Writes a Deadly Verse @ livestream, 7 p.m.
Cedarburg Cultural Center presents a virtual murder mystery set at the Valentine's Day meeting of The Poets Turntable. This association of local amateur and professional wordsmiths focuses on agapi, l’amore, liebe—yes, LOVE. Romance will abound when each member, in turn, thrills the audience with similes, metaphors and word pictures that will make even the coldest hearts beat with affection.
But rumors are circulating that all is not well within the Turntable. Despite the outward camaraderie of its members, the rumblings of discontent threaten to disrupt the harmony of their virtuous verses. This meeting has all the earmarks of being one to die for. Note: This event is strictly limited to 50 registrations.
