A Night With The Crown, The Princess and The Killer

Mystery Café is INDIANAPOLIS’s longest running and most successful Interactive Murder Mystery Comedy Dinner Theater. Since the fall of 1992 the Mystery Café has been delivering a unique style of dinner theater.Each play unfolds in four acts, with a course of the meal served after each one. The story is about a fictitious group meeting for some reason or other when murder interrupts their proceddings. During the evening, the performers, in character, will respond to you as if you were part of the make-believe world that has been created for the evening. Fifteen to 20 guests will play minor characters in the story with actual speaking lines. Just stand up at your dinner table and read your lines. No stage, done right inside a banquet room of an Indianapolis restaurant called the Library Restaurant & Pub. When the first scene starts, keep a watchful eye out for clues, and jot down anything that looks suspicious, play detective during dinner. At evening’s end, we give a prize to the person who best solves the mystery. We also give a prize to the biggest ham…uh, well…the best actor or actress from the audience. Every performance is unique because the audience is so directly and deeply involved. The magic lies in the interaction and unbridled creativity which occur in a room full of people who begin the evening as strangers but go home as friends.
