Well not a real murder. A dinner theater murder. More on that in a little bit.
Dinner theater (or theatre) is a form of entertainment that includes dinner as part of the ticket price, and you eat in same room as the performance. The earliest professional dinner theaters in the U.S. provided plays and musicals, and these are still the predominate types of acts.
Like other forms of live entertainment, the industry has had boom and bust years. Not as prevalent as it used to be, the industry still survives, especially near popular tourist destinations like Orlando Florida and Anaheim California (Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm).
Our map displays 27 dinner theaters that belong to the National Dinner Theatre Association, and 12 others that are independent dinner theaters. Let us know if we missed your favorite one. [article continues below map]

Another type of performance is murder mysteries, where the performers may also be your servers. The majority of these are traveling shows using existing restaurants, although there are a few that have their own venues.
If you've never experienced a dinner theater, they can be a lot of fun, and definitely something different in this internet age.
