Show Format
We're flexible! Our murder mystery dinner theatre format works with country service, full service, buffet or even cocktails & hors d'oeuvres and provides super entertainment for events like fundraisers, silent auctions, Christmas parties, and private or corporate events.
A program that begins with cocktails at 6:30 will usually wrap up at about 10 p.m. - depending upon the size of the audience, the meal and the amount of participation. So you can see, whether it's a company Christmas party or a family celebration, our mystery dinner theatre can be a full, fun evening!
Unlike traditional theatre, the actors are right there amongst the audience - giving you the opportunity to participate, or not! The mystery begins during cocktails, when some of the characters begin to mingle with the guests as they arrive. The story unfolds throughout dinner; Act I is followed by salad, Act II, dinner, and so-on. This way, guests are able to socialize, or network, while enjoying their meal, then be entertained without having to worry about their food getting cold! Fundraising organizers find this also allows opportunities to conduct raffles, 50/50 draws or silent auctions, for example.
Note for Private and Corporate Events:
We provide the entertainment, you provide the dinner. We'll work with your caterer so that the timing of the event runs smoothly. If it's a new location for us, we'll check out the venue, test the acoustics and go over the floor plan to help ensure a successful evening.
Note for House Parties:
Murder mystery dinner theatre - in your house ... it's a blast! The most important detail for success: When each person has a seat and can see and hear the action during the show.
