• The Greater Milwaukee Foundation's Mary L. Nohl Fund Fellowships for Individual Artists 2024
• Hot Days/Hot Nights: Photographs from the Collection

America’s largest interactive comedy murder dinner theatre show is now playing! Solve a hilarious mystery while you feast on a fantastic dinner. Just beware! The culprit is hiding in plain sight somewhere in the room, and you may find yourself as a Prime Suspect before you know it!

Join us for an event that is very different from a traditional mystery dinner show. Our actors are not dressed in costume and are hidden in the audience! This results in a fun, social and interactive evening suitable for all adults.

Each ticket includes our signature award-winning mystery dinner theatre show, along with a full plated dinner, waitstaff gratuity, and plenty of surprises during the show.

Race
By David Mamet

Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet pulls no punches in this incendiary drama that cuts to the heart of prejudice, privilege, and the tangled intersections of race and justice. When a wealthy white man is accused of assaulting a Black woman, two lawyers — one Black, one white — must navigate a legal and moral minefield. As tensions mount and a new legal assistant enters the fray, unspoken assumptions and simmering biases erupt into sharp, unfiltered confrontation. Provocative, fast-paced, and unflinchingly honest, Race is a gripping exploration of the lies we tell others—and the ones we tell ourselves.
