The Dinner Detective

At The Dinner Detective, you’ll tackle a hilarious and challenging crime while you feast on a fantastic dinner. Just beware! The culprit is hiding in plain sight somewhere in the room, and you may find yourself as a Prime Suspect before you know it!  Our engaging and unique murder mystery dinner theatre performances have been playing across the country since 2004.Our show is very different from traditional murder mystery dinner shows.  We will hide non-costumed actors in the audience that are pretending to be part of the crowd.  This results in a much more social and interactive evening than with other shows.  Our shows are set during the present day and take place in real time.  Over the course of the night, our costumed Detectives will uncover clues, interrogate audience members that may or may not be part of the show, and help everyone get closer to solving the mystery.
