Murder, Mystery & Mouthwatering Moments at The Grand Oaks Resort

What do you get when you combine a suspense-filled whodunit with an unforgettable dining experience? You get a Murder Mystery Dinner Show at The Bistro, presented by the wickedly talented cast of Something New Studio—and trust us, you’ll want a front-row seat… before someone drops dead.

What Is a Murder Mystery Dinner Show?

Imagine you’re enjoying a delicious meal in a charming bistro, surrounded by friends and strangers—when suddenly, a character falls to the floor, the music stops, and the room turns into a crime scene. The actors don’t just perform; they pull you into the plot with interactive twists, surprise suspects, and clever clues.

Each guest becomes part of the investigation, and solving the mystery is half the fun—the other half is the food.

Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, planning a date night, or just love live theater with a twist, these performances bring big energy to a small town in the best way.
