Hooray for Hollywood - Mansion Mysteries - Currently off-season
Welcome to our 12th year of our Gourmet Detective Mysteries - now back in a Back Bay Mansion in Boston and at the beautiful MIT Endicott House in Dedham. These shows are designed to be a different experience than our dinner theaters offering unique locations performed in the style of a live game of CLUE, from room to room, CharActor to CharActor. The food is passed or served in stations and the fun and mystery moves in a cocktail party format. Looking for a really unique night - spend the night in the mansion with our Dead & Breakfast packages.
Seats fill up quickly, reserve your date today!
Famous director, Rudy Von Hessel is here with his bevy of talent to make a Hollywood movie! . His leading lady, the gorgeous, talented and oh-so-in-love-with-herself Gloria Swansong, accompanies him. Gloria throws kisses to all of her fans and kiss-offs to everyone else. Rudy announces to everyone, that with the help of his talented staff, they’ll be holding auditions for roles in the movie.
Audience members will will howl as attendees audition for the roles in the movie. Alarms will go off in your head as things get complicated by mysterious activities taking place and, when the cast of the film is announced, Gloria makes a toast and…dies! Someone poisoned Gloria Swansong!!! A detective arrives with clues to figure out the murder with your help.
