DINNER THEATER DRAMAS
|
- NEW FOR 2008! -
Mini-Mystery Script
Mystery Dinner
Theater
programs consistently draw large crowds. Guests sit together at
tables where they will eat, enjoy the drama, and then compare notes.
Accusations are turned in before the final scene occurs and the guilty
party is revealed!
Scripts are fun and
family friendly. These scripts have been used by youth groups,
experienced drama teams, libraries, hospitals, cheer leading teams,
etc. Once you have presented your first mystery dinner, guests
will be asking when the next one will be!!
Countless churches
use Mystery Dinner Theaters as fund raisers to raise funds for
missions and other needs!

Mini
Mystery Drama
“The
Cupcake Caper”
by
Nancy Bond |
|
What is a "mini-mystery"?
The script is short, the cast is small, the staging is simple, and the
cost is a steal! At only $35, this type of mystery makes a great
option for first-timers or for quickly putting together a fun evening
between larger events.
The cost is much less
because the length of the script is only about 25 minutes in total.
Also, there are few accompanying documents including: mystery
ballots, 1 or 2 suggested games for the audience, and character
descriptions/overview for the cast.
Keep the evening
simple by doing a dessert theater or make this mystery part of a
lock-in event.
Synopsis:
A young
man, Logan, is extremely excited about the upcoming night. He plans
to surprise his girlfriend, Jessie, with a romantic proposal at the
park where they met playing volleyball. However, his plans are
crushed when he discovers the carefully selected engagement ring is
missing! Who took the ring? Will Logan ever see the ring again? Is
the engagement doomed to never happen?
|
This drama is ideal for youth to
present or a combination of youth and adults.
The Cast:
3 Male Roles and 3 Female Roles

Murder Mystery Drama #4
“Signing
Off at WWPP Radio”
by Rick
& Elizabeth Shoemaker |
|
Synopsis:
Many people have reason to dislike the star of the radio drama, “The
Young and the Arrested,” Andy Allanson. Who in Piney Woods has
the strongest motive to take him off the air permanently? Much
of the dialogue is performed using a script as would be done over the
radio so memorization is minimal. This is a puzzling mystery with
multiple suspects to keep everyone guessing! Minimal staging required.
