Unlike a typical murder mystery dinner theatre performance, you won’t be watching a handful of actors stiffly reciting lines in front of the room. The action happens all around you, and any person in the audience can end up being a part of the show, even YOU! Throughout the night, you’ll find yourself wondering if what just happened was scripted or real!

Since our Los Angeles Grand Opening in 2004, The Dinner Detective has quickly become the largest murder mystery dinner show in the United States. Our signature blend of intrigue, comedy, and spontaneity has enthralled millions of guests at our public and private shows.

At The Dinner Detective, you’ll tackle a hilarious and challenging crime while you feast on a fantastic dinner. Just beware! The culprit is hiding in plain sight somewhere in the room, and you may find yourself as a Prime Suspect before you know it!

King Opera House

A HISTORIC VENUE HAUNTED BY THE GHOST OF A MURDERED ACTOR!

Located on Main Street in the heart of Van Buren’s Historic District, the King Opera House has been entertaining the local community for over 140 years.

Stories of the paranormal goings-on here have lasted nearly as long, with reports going back to the early 1900s.

Built in 1880, during the height of the Victorian era, the King Opera House welcomed many notable performers, such as Jenny Lind (The Swedish Nightingale), William Jennings Bryan, and Arkansas’ own Bob Burns.

From the mid-1890s through to the early 1930s, the Opera House would regularly put on weekly runs of Vaudeville shows, one of which was a show that had Charles Tolson as the lead.

It’s Tolson’s ghost that still haunts the opera house to this day, roaming the location of his last ever performance.
