Murder at the Mountain Theatre
Over a decade ago, Anheuser-Busch capitalized on CB’s “up-for-whatever” spirit. They took over Elk Ave, renamed the town “Whatever, USA” for the weekend, and pretty much threw an epic weekend kegger. Some CB-ers loved it. Some hated it. Either way, it made an impact. Now the rumor mill says Anheuser-Busch wants to come back for a Whatever Redux. Nobody has confirmed it, but the mayor and the newspaper editor practically came to blows in front of Rumors Coffee and Tea House. Opinions are loud, emotions are louder, and the town has demanded a town hall meeting. Is Anheuser-Busch coming back? Does Crested Butte get a say? Is murder afoot? Find out at this wonderful night of mystery all in support of your community theatre!
