DINNER THEATER DRAMA SCHEDULE


Typical Schedule for Presenting the Dinner Theaters #1-3
 


With a mystery dinner theater, the time of the actual drama is intentionally kept to about 45 minutes, not counting the conclusion scene. A suggested time frame is:

5:30 - 6:00 

  Welcome guests and allow characters to mingle with the crowd.

6:00 - 7:15

  Serve the meal.

7:15 - 8:00

  Perform the mystery.

8:00 - 8:05

  Brainstorm questions to ask the suspects. (Audience)

8:05 - 8:25

  Interrogate the suspects.  (Audience)

8:25 - 8:35

  Present the final scene and solve the mystery.

8:35 - 8:45

  Share the "Greatest Mystery in History"

8:45 - 9:00 

  Draw for door prize/Present the award to the Sleuth of the Night
 

Many church members are involved in the production of the event. In addition to the cast, people may be involved as stage crew, costume makers, prop designers, cooks, etc. An average program and full course meal take about 3½ hours. A dessert theater can be done in 2 - 2½ hours.

*Bonus -- The Greatest Mystery in History handout comes with every script so the gospel can easily be shared with the crowd.
