He was also willing to write it (our previous year’s play was also written by a local resident). One of our local historians had done some research on trials in the late 1800s and had been considering converting transcripts of an actual trial into a play. In 2015, we had a murder mystery dinner theater-type event, and the question was whether to do something similar or try something different. The first step of the process was brainstorming. I will say that having a number of people that can step up into leadership roles helped me out immensely. They organized most of this year’s event, although I organized most of our first year’s program. Our Friends started planning about a year in advance (although five or six months would be workable). In fact, most of the previous year’s volunteers signed up for this event as well.
When looking for help during our first fundraiser in 2015, I was surprised to find just how many people wanted to be involved.
Even the mayor and chief of police made cameo acting appearances. Most of our volunteers came from our Friends group, but we also had members of the community and library staff helping. Finding creative, talented people to be part of the planning process was absolutely critical to our success. An event like this requires a lot of advance planning.
