Annual Events

Harwelden Murder Mystery  

Murder Mystery 2010 "Ghosts of Harwelden" will take place August 5-7 and 12-14. Order your tickets today! (918) 584-3333 x32 or acroasdale@ahct.org.

Any house that has stood for decades is likely to be haunted. That's why the owner of Harwelden has summoned two of the country's top psychics, to determine if there are any restless spirits wandering through this grand old Tulsa home. But will the effort to scare up a ghost -- and the conflicts among family members and professional rivals -- lead to a few more people finding themselves on the other side of the grave? Discover the truth about "The Ghosts of Harwelden," at Murder Mystery 2010.

This event has everything planned for you – a murder mystery play is staged for guests, along with dinner and refreshments. The Murder Mystery evenings have sold out in the past and guests come year-after-year to see the new play. Best of all, your donation assists the Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa to continue its mission of providing quality, educational arts and related programs to schools and the community.

Tickets are $45 per person and include dinner, wine, beer and a mystery to solve.
