| SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | NOVEMBER 2025 | 25
A large crowd of residents enjoyed a full-dinner theater experience in October when Fairway Villas
(District 10) friends and neighbors presented Secrets of the Silver Screen by Professor Puzzle.
Under the seasoned direction of Mary Flynn, Fairway Villas resident and Sun Lakes' fabulous producer-
director, a talented cast of eight characters made audience members hoot and laugh, but also required
them to pay close attention to multiple clues, as tables collaborated to figure out who-dunnit in a "locked
room" genre murder mystery. While they investigated the evidence, the audience feasted on a delicious
three-course chicken cordon bleu dinner by Thomas Catering.
The talented cast of residents even included four officers of the Fairway Villas HOA (identified in
the captions). The actors had at least as much fun performing as the audience did trying to solve the
mystery. Fairway Villas (District 10) is comprised of a close-knit group of friends and neighbors who
enjoy various social events throughout the year. The dinner theatre was a first!
