It’s an intriguing, interactive whodunit at the Newport Art Museum where guests are invited to participate in a new Murder Mystery created and performed by the Marley Bridges Theatre Company, formerly of the Astor's Beechwood, also in Newport. "Guilt by Association," a crime drama set during the early days of the Bellevue Avenue museum, is a family-friendly performance to be held on select Saturday evenings later this month and early next.
