You are cordially invited to our murderously funny Fall feature format... DEADLY DINNER PARTY!⁠
⁠
Five VIPs receive letters from an eccentric millionaire host, summoning them to a mysterious dinner. When murder is served as the first course, a detective must interrogate each guest and solve the crime before it’s too late. With every twist created on the spot, no two performances – and no two killers – are ever the same!⁠
⁠
A hilarious take on beloved whodunnits like Agatha Christie novels, Clue, and Knives Out – Deadly Dinner Party is a perfect way to usher in the most ominous season of the year.⁠
⁠
😱 Deadly Dinner Party⁠
📅 September 24th - October 30th⁠
