TIMING: The BAR opens 1/2 hour prior to the time listed for the show (i.e. 8:45pm show, 8:15pm bar opens)
SEATING: Table size varies. Mostly 8-10 tops. If your party does not fill a table, you may be sat with other guests. We find this is one of the wonderful features of our shows - the opportunity to meet new people. WHEELCHAIRS: This show is wheelchair accessible. Let us know with your reservation to best seat you. PRIZES: After listening for clues, guests have a chance to guess who they think the murderer is during the dessert break with prizes awarded for a few of the winners. FREE BOTTLE CHAMPAGNE WITH DINNER: On NYE, for every 4 tickets purchased (together) you will receive a free bottle of champagne with dinner (must be 21 yrs). COSTUME CONTEST: On NYE there will be a costume contest. All you gangsters, molls, & flappers get out your pin stripe suits, your rolled down stockings, or your Bonnie & Clyde tweeds. Prizes will be awarded for the best 1920s/1930s costumes. However, dressing up is NOT required to attend! MIDNIGHT CHAMPAGNE TOAST AND PARTY FAVORS: On NYE, party favors will be provided for each table and a champagne toast (sparkling grape juice for those under 21 yrs) will be celebrated at midnight.

|

FREE FOR SPECIAL CELEBRATIONS - BIRTHDAYS, ANNIVERSARIES, CORPORATE GROUPS, ETC.
At the time of reservation, let us know if you are celebrating a special event (i.e. birthday, anniversary, retirement, company sales goal, etc). We have a time during the show when we honor celebrants, and if you make your reservation early enough and there is room, there may also be a mention in the show newspaper (rewritten for every show) -- a nice memento to keep. For corporate groups, we will send you a questionnaire to know a bit more about who you are and what you do. For wedding proposals, we can work with you to incorporate this into the show. For a GUARANTEED mention in the show newspaper, please purchase one of our Gift Packages.
ADULT CONTENT
This show is definitely written for adults. There is no profanity or nudity, but there is a good deal of sexual innuendo and suggestive language couched in the 1933 time period of the show. We compare the show to watching 10:00pm television (i.e. Two and a Half Men, Will and Grace). PG13 mature audience.
CHILDREN
Listening for clues is important and we expect all children (and adults) to adhere to standard audience etiquette. Toddlers and babies are not allowed at the show. Children who cannot understand the import of respecting the rest of the audience should also not attend. Therefore, we do not recommend the show for children under 13 except under special circumstances. Adults attending with children should be aware of the adult content and make their own decision as to how mature their child is in handling this material. This show does not have children's menus or prices. Please call and talk to a representative. We must be aware in advance of any children attending. |
