JOE STRANGE'S MYSTERY CAFÉ

Family Friendly Murder Mystery Comedy Dinner Theater

What is provided is a fun experience for your family, friends, date or team. How that is done is with a Murder Mystery Comedy Dinner Theater show that has audience participation, laughs, dinner, and murder. Volunteers out of the audience play minor characters with actual speaking parts. Just stand up at your dinner table and read your lines from the cue card. It is volunteer, we won't force you if you would rather watch. The murder is a comedy designed with fun in mind. Professional actors play major characters in the story and help you have fun. It is Dinner Theater as a course of the dinner is served in between each act, providing plenty of time for conversation. The Murder Mystery takes place at the Library Restaurant. While regular diners are eating downstairs you will be having a murderously good time upstairs in the banquet room. You have a choice of 4 different entrees with an opportunity to get the Prime ticket which includes the Ribeye. The Library Restaurant, “we know our cow,” is a fine casual dining experience. Located on the West Side of Indy. Don't fight the traffic up north or the parking headaches of downtown. The Library Restaurant has free parking. Easy access right off the Sam Jones Parkway.

Come have fun and enjoy a great dinner!

Death In The Roaring Twenties.

One night only on Saturday June 10th @ 6PM 

Part of the fun is in the pretending to be someone else, somewhere else, some place else and more. I like to say our stories are about a fictitious group of people present for some reason or other when  murder interrupts their proceedings. You have fun pretending to be this fictitious group of people So, who do you get to pretend to be   in this one? 
We will pretend to be in the year 1920. In an abandon warehouse   somewhere in Indianapolis meets a group of interested individuals to discuss how to deal with prohibition. You will pretend to be          these individuals. Which means you get to play the gangsters of the roaring Twenties. Some of them are spoofs of real gangster of that era. Some of the individuals you’ll be playing are spoofs of real        people that everyone would have known in the twenties. Some just come from our playwrights imagination.                                                 Learn about the twenties as we pretend to go back to 1920. Broad Ripple was not part of Indianapolis yet. Babe Ruth had been traded to the Yankees. The NFL starts up in the 20’s. Those folks would be amazed to learn the team was called the Colts. Teams nicknames   were the street they played on. Which would make it the                   Indianapolis Capitals not the Colts?!?                     
We are all set to have a lot of fun on June 10th. You are invited to join us. Click on the link to the website and reserve your ticket to a night of fun. A night where we will eat, drink and pretend the year in 1920 in “Death In The Roaring Twenties
