Tips & Advice
- Arrive when the doors open, one hour before the show, because tables are pre-assigned and there's no lobby to wait in.
- Book ahead, since the show often sells out and all sales are final with no refunds, transfers or cancellations.
- Pick a group name if friends are buying tickets separately so everyone is seated together, because seating can't change once the doors open.
- Dress business casual for a special night out, and leave the shorts, baseball caps, beachwear and pajamas at home.
- If you eat gluten free, order the chicken or fish and ask your server for a fresh salad without croutons when you sit down.

- Extra performances added on Tuesday, December 22 and Wednesday, December 23.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it OK to bring kids?
The theater rates it PG-13. There's no offensive language, but there may be light innuendo. They strongly discourage bringing children under 5. Disruptive little ones will be asked to leave with their parents, and no refund is given.
What comes with the ticket?
A three-course meal with your choice of beef, chicken, fish or vegetarian, plus unlimited iced tea, water and coffee. You also get free parking, the show, and photos with the cast afterward. Alcohol and sodas are extra at the cash bar.
Do I have to take part in the show?
Only as much as you're comfortable with. Each table works as a team, gets to question the suspects after Act Two, and turns in a ballot naming the killer before Act Three reveals the answer.
What should I wear?
Business casual. Skip shorts, baseball caps, beachwear and pajamas.
Can they handle dietary restrictions?
Call the box office to talk through your needs, since every meal comes from the same kitchen and they can't rule out cross-contamination. For gluten-free guests, the chicken, the fish and the fruit-cup dessert are gluten free, and you can ask your server for a salad without croutons.
