Frequently Asked Questions
Answers provided below are specific to Mystery Theatre Unlimited’s Murder Mysteries.
What is this thing?
Since 1996, Mystery Theatre has staged productions at various locations. Word-of-mouth has made it grow. People see it once and they want to bring more friends back for the next show. Mystery Theatre Unlimited is offering the same great shows in murder mystery weekends, too.
Is It a Game or a Show?
Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre is a musical-comedy play staged in a room, usually a banquet room, by a small company of actors playing characters. It is a scripted play, featuring a little music, but it combines lots of opportunity for improvisation. It is not performed on a stage, but among the tables throughout the evening… while you eat.
Is There Audience Participation?
Yes. But it is fairly limited. If the audience seems to enjoy it more, the actors have the option of drawing the audience in even more.
Do I Have to Participate?
No. If you are too shy, or simply want to watch, you are allowed.
Will I Know the Actors from the Audience?
We certainly hope so. This is not a format in which we try to fool you about who the entertainers are.
Is There a Mystery to Solve?
Sure. That’s why it is called “Murder Mystery.” One of the characters will “die.” Audience participants gather evidence, question the characters and sometimes take part improvisationally. At the end of the evening, you will be given the opportunity to write down your guess as to who is the killer and what the motive is. It is actually possible to solve the mystery. But don’t take it too seriously. It is all for fun. Prizes are awarded for the best detectives and for the funniest answers.
