When Cinder the Bear arrived in South Lake Tahoe on August 4, 2014 the prognosis wasn't a good one. The 18-month old black bear had been severely burned in the Carlton Complex Fire in Washington and weighed in at just 39 pounds, about half of what a cub her age should be.

The story of her determination and recovery won the hearts of many around the globe and now she is dead.

At his 1929 lakeshore mansion, wealthy entrepreneur, Anthony Wellington, suddenly is found dead in his chair in his study. A detective suspects foul play. Could the culprit (or culprits) be a resentful daughter, a mysterious gardener, or even a Washington Senator baseball player?

Find out on Friday, November 16, as Unity at the Lake presents, “What’s the Beef with Wellington?” an interactive 1920’s style radio-staged mystery play, where the audience can ask penetrating questions of the six suspects.

The cast includes some of your favorite Tahoe actors.
