**Join the Fun!**

Get ready for a night of laughter and intrigue at our Family-Friendly Murder Mystery Comedy Dinner Theater! Escape the every day and dive into a whimsical world where a fictional gathering takes an unexpected turn when a murder occurs. You, the audience, are part of the story!

**Be a Part of the Action!**

Getting involved is entirely voluntary, so if you’d prefer to sit bac

k and enjoy, that’s fine! We invite 15 to 20 guests to play fun minor characters with speaking lines—stand up at your table and read your lines! There’s no stage, the show is done in the banquet room. Feel free to show off your best dramatic “death scene” if you become a victim or share a hilarious confession if you're cast as the culprit! Two talented performers will guide the story and keep things lively.

**Enjoy a Delicious Dinner!**

The Library Restaurant—Our show unfolds in four acts, with a delightful course served after each act. Start with your choice of a Soup or fresh Salad, followed by your pick from five scrumptious entrees! And don’t forget to save room for the last sweet treat: a delicious slice of cheesecake! Hannah House—We cater dinner at this historic landmark. After Act II, choose a meat or vegetarian dish. After Act III, be delighted by the caterer's dessert of the day!

**Laugh Along with Us!**

Think light-hearted comedy—this isn’t Shakespeare! Imagine the antics of films like “Murder By Death” or “Clue.” You’ll have a blast being part of the fun!

**Bring the Kids!**

No need for a babysitter! This Murder Mystery is family-friendly, so feel free to bring the kiddos along. There’s no nudity or profanity, and all the thrilling moments are right for everyone. We’d love to see the kids participating, too!

**Put on Your Detective Hat!**

As the first scene kicks off, keep your eyes peeled for clues and jot down anything that seems suspicious. Put on your detective hat and enjoy a delightful dinner while you figure out the mystery!

**An Exciting Story!**

Each story is about a fictitious group of people present for some reason or another when murder interrupts the proceedings. The audience is written into the story as this fictitious group. Two talented performers will lead the audience to the exciting end, where one of you will stand up and confess to the crime. At the end of the evening, we’ll hand out prizes for the best mystery solver and the most entertaining actor or actress from the audience. Thanks to the incredible involvement of our guests, every performance is different. The magic is in the laughter, creativity, and connection when strangers gather and leave as friends. We can’t wait to enjoy this fantastic night with you!


**Locations**
The Library Restaurant & Pub- A little history, a lot of art, and incredible food. Housed in a new-age French chateau, The Library is a premier restaurant in Indianapolis. It is located on the West side of Indianapolis with free parking. The show is done in their upstairs banquet room. While the regular diners are downstairs, we are upstairs committing murder. You must be able to do stairs for this location. We are working on that. Hannah House- is described as a "stately red brick mansion," ideally suited for the Indiana State Legislator, Alexander Hannah, who built this 24-room home in 1858 in the Italianate style of architecture. Take a tour of this historic mansion before the show. We do the show on the ground floor, but there is a second floor to investigate. Your location- we can pack up our cast of killers and bring the show to your chosen location for a private event just for you and your gang.
