On March 4, students from Crime Fiction and English Didactics for Grades 8-13 met up at The Cat\u2019s Meow to dance their cares away, Roaring 20s style. They came dressed for a good time, and the jazz music, free-flowing drinks, and card games certainly contributed to a jumpin\u2019 scene. All of the glamorous party people were there \u2013 flappers, fashion designers, musicians, artists, gamblers, and actors mingled with high-strung professionals such as doctors, accountants, writers, lawyers, and stockbrokers looking to let their guard down a little for just one night. One and all were served by the dedicated staff of The Cat\u2019s Meow \u2013 the \u2018vintage champagne\u2019 was ice cold, and the jazz was scorching hot. Little did they know that they would be required to solve a \u2018murder\u2019\u2026<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Felix Fontano, owner of The Cat\u2019s Meow, was found looking a little bit worse for wear in a supply closet, just as the evening\u2019s Charleston contest was at its peak! Who could have done such a terrible thing? It\u2019s true that Felix had a lot of enemies, and a whole lot of \u2013 shall we say \u2013 entanglements, so The Cat\u2019s Meow quickly turned into a room full of suspects\u2026 and if the police became involved, the speakeasy might be shut down forever!<\/p>

Luckily, old Frank Fontano, Felix\u2019s father, knew that something was a bit off, and had the good sense to secretly employ a private detective, P.I. Ripley (played by third-year LESAMF student Alexander J\u00e6ger Williams). Once PI Ripley was on the scene, the party quickly turned into a search<\/em> party, as teams went out to look for clues. From there, PI Ripley methodically interrogated all of the guests \u2013 Dr. Ronnie Mason (played by second-year BAENG student Amatullah Abedah), famous actress June Palmetto (played by second-year BAENG student Solveig Landsem), track owner Duke Carillo (played by third-year BAENG student Alaa Alsalama), among many others, one by one. Soon, it was time to find out, at last, whodunit.\u00a0<\/p>

While many of the guests thought that the \u2018murderer\u2019 must have been Felix\u2019s wife, Edith (played by year-long exchange student Aliz\u00e9e Gosset), as she was tired of Felix\u2019s womanizing and bad investments, a few keen detectives were able to deduce the real killer based on the evidence. (We won\u2019t reveal that here\u2026innocent until proved guilty in a court of law!) In addition, Karri Borrison (played by third-year LESAMF student Thea Emelie Buar\u00f8y) won a prize for best costume, Bess Bailey (played by semester exchange student Gaia Andreatta) was voted \u201cmost energetic dancer,\u201d and Alexander J\u00e6ger Williams, pulling double-duty as Felix Fontano and PI Ripley, took the prize for best acting.<\/p>

All in all, it was a fantastic experience. Not only were English students working with basic communication skills, but also role-playing, memorization, logic, rational deduction, teamwork, and a little bit of American history thrown in there as well!\u00a0But don\u2019t take our word for it:<\/p>

\u201cI truly enjoyed the live action role-play experience. Despite being a little bit nervous, I felt supported in participating, and I learned a lot. Truly a unique and memorable experience!\u201d<\/em><\/span> \u2013 Ehsan Farrokhnia (third-year Circumpolar and Nordic Studies student; played Edgar Fitzgerald)<\/p>

\u201cFor me, the best part of the game was getting to know my own character, as well as everyone else’s. It was so much fun to see how much thought everyone put into their acting, and then seeing how everyone interacted with each other. I think a few of us grew a bit attached to our roles, I know I did!\u201d<\/em><\/span> \u2013 Thea Emelie Buar\u00f8y<\/p>

The murder mystery game was sponsored by the Languages and Literature subject group, led by Dr. May Line Tverbakk. Food was provided by local Bod\u00f8 restaurant Lystp\u00e5 (with a delicious cake provided by Duke Carillo \u2013 perhaps to throw us off?), and Pias balletstudio graciously assisted with the costumes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
