Welcome to the Scene of the Crime

April 29th, 2009

My name is David Goldstein and I started the first murder mystery dinner theater in Cambridge, MA over 22 years ago.  At the time there were murder mystery cocktail parties and murder mystery weekends and some corporate murder mysteries but the first scheduled weekly mystery dinner theater was the Mystery Cafe.

It’s a great story as to how I started it and as this blog goes along I will share various stories of the trials and tribulations of running a dinner theater, expanding it to 22 cities around the country and my favorite event, performing for Hef and the Girls Next Store at the Playboy Mansion (twice).

Just yesterday I was discussing our secret to long term success as compared to one of my inspirations, Shear Madness.  We have taken the interactive mystery and we do it as a dinner theater, a dinner cruise, a mansion murder mystery and we change shows and situations so our repeat clients can experience a different theme or a twist in how we get you involved.   I am excited to share with you weekly stories from the past, present and future of America’s Original Murder Mystery Dinner Theater.

Dedham Mansion Mystery on May 9th

April 28th, 2009

Another great season we have had at the MIT Endicott House in Dedham, the most perfect setting for our interactive, room to room murder mysteries.  This is the last one of the season and it always sells out.  Great for a special occassion and you can spend the night in the mansion!
