NOW PLAYING!

Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre in Columbus -- Enjoy an evening at central Ohio's original murder mystery dinner theatre!

Now playing: You Only Die Twice - Things just aren't looking good in the The Afterlife. St. Peter's gate is locked and no one knows why...including St. Peter. Self-appointed "Dame of the Dead", Roberta, and her assistant, Tessa, tirelessly try to maintain order amidst the chaos, which may or may not have anything to do with Damien, a representative of The Afterlife's notorious south side.

Then there's Lucky, a man now living among the dead. Is it merely a coincidence, or could it be the start of an even bigger mystery? Interrogate members of The Afterlife's service team, including Moiselle, the proprietor of a heavenly house of sin and Harvey, the maintenance man, as you witness (or take part in) a dramatic re-enactment that could help restore order, and determine your final destination.

Killing Mr. Withers -

Imagine yourself on a bus tour bound for Las Vegas. The tour guide has lost the way, and you are stranded in Death Valley. The only building in sight is the Last Chance Pump & Grill. You stop for directions and a quick bite to eat but you stay for murder mystery and a four-course dinner. As you step into the Last Chance, you are greeted with a meat cleaver by the chef and owner, Kurt; his unhappily-married wife and waitress, Veronica; and the well-muscled gas station attendant, Jack.
The mystery begins to unfold with a visit form an Albanian hit-man named Boris, his partner, Natasha, and their "quiet" friend, Mr. Withers. You hear rumors about an abandoned silver mine in the area. Tensions build when Sheriff Weaver arrives on the scene asking questions about the disappearance of a young man last seen at the Last Chance. As the evening progresses, more than one dead (or almost dead) body turns up, and Sheriff Weaver turns to you for help.

Marriage Can Be Murder -

Drew Nardo must get married before he turns 30 or he won't inherit his late grandfather's millions. The lucky bride is Rachel Levine, a woman he "fell in love with" only days before. You and the whole Nardo family are cordially invited to witness the ceremony. There you will meet Drew's pill-popping mom, Helen, who is vehemently opposed to the marriage; his father, Anthony, who is haunted by a terrible secret; and his brother, Roger (or one of his alternate personalities). The plot thickens when the bride's evil twin sister, Ruth, arrives unexpectedly. Bodies start dropping like flies before the vows are even taken, and the Nardos may need your help to find a murderer.

A Deadly Briefcase -

A mystery spoof of the James Bond films. Originally performed on board the real QE 2, the setting for this mystery is the club room of the famous ocean liner as it sails for Bermuda in 1962. Bobby is a man with the brain of a ten-year-old who likes to pretend he is Sherlock Holmes. His sister, Tammy, is taking him along on her vacation when they stumble across a locked briefcase, a woman with amnesia, two Romanian spies, and a high school sweetheart of Tammy's named Bruce Bond who fights with his arch enemy James Lee. It's up to the vacationing Detective Ellery Chan - grandson of the famous Charlie Chan - to sort out this case of international intrigue with the aid of the audience.

Murder in the Heirs -

A will reading during a thunderstorm can be so delicious! Everyone at Hogshead Manor is anxiously awaiting the reading of Henry Hogshead's will.

Or did he leave it to his long-suffering wife, Zinnia, or his spoiled daughter, Penelope, or his beautiful French mistress, Yvette? Maybe the heir to the Hogshead fortune will be a surprise arrival from Henry's past! To whom does that ghostly voice belong, and why is it haunting us now? Did the curse of the pendant of Pashawar claim yet another victim tonight or is there simply...Murder in the Heirs?
