CRESTVIEW — Red Leg the Dreaded and his pirate crew, including the beautiful but deadly Pillage Ann Freebooty, have set their sights on Crestview.

Act4Murder and Crestview's "Duke It Out" Relay For Life team will present the murder mystery dinner theatre production, "The Mystery of Red Leg the Dreaded, Pirate of the Gulf," on Feb. 28. The interactive comedy will be performed at the Foxwood Country Club as a fundraiser for the community's annual cancer awareness effort.

The menu includes salad, the "pirate's choice" of jerk-rubbed smoked pork loin or beef brisket, Caribbean black beans and rice, grilled pineapple rings, and for dessert, Blackbeard's Bread Pudding with Rum Sauce.

"Feel free to dress in your favorite pirate costume while enjoying the dinner," playwright and director Paula Hilton said.

And remember, Hilton said, "someone's gonna die!"

And someone will win a prize for figuring out whodunnit.
