Lone Star Murder Mystery Dinner Theater
If you have an appetite for dinner and a mystery, take a trip to the 1880s in the Original Lone Star Murder Mystery Dinner Theater's weekend production and help solve a murder. Riverwalk Café, our market-style eatery, offers an upscale buffet dinner.
New show begins April 18 - "Missed Fortune"
Greedy Granbury Green, the town’s big shot banker, has been bumped off and Marshal Jim Courtright may need a crystal ball to figure out who done it. Could it be Dusty Muddwater, the fastidiously clean and directionally challenged prospector with gold in his future? Or Tatyana, the self-proclaimed Queen of the Gypsies, who read more than Mr. Green’s palms. Then there’s Clarice Green, wife of the dearly departed, who married for money but perhaps wanted more. Or maybe Mortimer Morton, the local undertaker, had an extra casket to fill. All predictions indicate chaos and laughter in the immediate future as you help the Marshal read the signs and solve the crime. Purchase Lone Star Murder Mystery Dinner Theater tickets online.
