Sasha Maggio, from the Fairfax County Vegetarian Examiner has this to say about Mystery Dinner Playhouse – Arlington:

“People do not often go to “dinner and a show” as was once in fashion, but occasionally you stumble upon an interesting combination of dinner theater. Mystery Dinner Playhouse presents unique mystery scripts performed throughout the meal in an entertaining and engaging fashion with real performers.

Though they hire actors with the understanding that some waiting/serving will be involved in their performance, they hire actors and actresses, not typical wait staff.

Each show is broken down into 10-15 minute acts, with the performers performing throughout the entire dining room which can help bring the action of the play right to the audience. When you first arrive, you are met by one or two of the “suspects” who will seat you, show you around, and help prepare you for the mystery performance. During the performances, audience-diners are to watch for clues and keep notes of anything suspicious!

Reservations should be made in advance to guarantee seating, and for vegetarians there is a vegetarian entree which also must be ordered in advance so be sure to request your vegetarian entree when making reservations!”

Last minute casting is a hit!

We opened “Murder Las Vegas Style!” last night. It was a great show, but I have to tell you, the week running up to opening was a hair raiser. Wednesday morning, we suddenly found ourselves without an actor to play Eddie the Ventriloquist. ( don’t ask it’s a long long story) That bit of misfortune turned into a true stroke of good luck in the form of Carl Bogdan. Carl picked up a script, rehearsed Thursday night, and performed flawlessly on Friday! And he was funny! What a pro! Carl is one very talented dude. Check out russbogdan.com and you’ll see what I mean. (the guy has two names Rusell, and Carl- go figure) Thank again Carl and all the cast!

Vegas opens in DC this Fri 5/21/10
