If you love fine dining coupled with a good mystery, then Kentlands Mansion is the perfect setting for a romantic night out just before Valentine’s Day. 

In “Romance is Dead,” you’ll meet Mr. Rex Hallmark, the mastermind behind the entire Valentine’s Day agenda.  He’s called a meeting with this board of directors to discuss the final push for Valentine’s Day.  But trouble is brewing, with the heads of chocolate, flowers and jewelry feeling that changes should be made in how the business is managed … and maybe even by whom!  Even Cupid, the face of Valentine’s Day, is demanding a new contract.  Mr. Hallmark’s annual meeting is nothing close to business as usual.  When tensions mount and stakes are raised, will everyone make it out of the room alive? 

The mystery unfolds on Friday and Saturday, February 10 and 11, 2012.  Doors open at 7 p.m., dinner will be served at 7:20 p.m.  Admission is $50, $45 for City of Gaithersburg residents, and includes dinner and show.  Beer and wine will be available at a cash bar.  Seating is limited and early reservation is suggested. 

Kentlands Mansion is located at 320 Kent Square Road in Gaithersburg.  Reserve your tickets by phone at 301-258-6425.  For more information and directions visit www.gaithersburgmd.gov/kentlandsmansion.
