Mystery Theater Dinner

My mystery theater dinner at church last night was so much fun. When you showed up you got a program and were sent off to find a seat. I sat a table with two ladies and a little girl. I didn't know any of them, but they were very nice. Each of the tables were set up for dinner and had a tray of appetizers to start with.
The play was about a traveling murder theater group who performed at restaurants. The main character was a diva who nobody liked and everyone told her she'd better watch out or she'd be sorry.
There were four acts and in between each act we were fed an additional part of the meal. After the first act we got salad and bread. After the second act we got our entrees. We also got written clues during each break, too.
After the third break they passed out solution worksheets where we each had to guess who did it, how they did it, and why they they did it. There was also some tie breaker questions. Then we turned them back in before the fourth act which is when we found out 'who dun it'.
I ignored the obvious choice and got it wrong, but it was still a lot of fun.

We just got back from walking over to Burger Hut for lunch. I've got about an hour and half before I head over to Salvation Army to help serve dinner. We're bbq-ing chicken today. Our church hosts the second Sunday of the month. At least it's not a million degrees today.
