COUNTRY CLUB CAPERS
Murder mystery dinner theater produced by Murder Mystery Players Inc. at Dave & Buster’s, Irvine Spectrum Center, Saturday nights April 15, 29 and May 6; 8 p.m. $40.77 per person (excluding drinks and appetizers) (949) 727-0555.
If you’re looking for a different kind of entertaining evening out with friends, this one might fill the bill,so long as you don’t expect South Coast Rep or the Ahmanson. The campy production is often funny, peppered with one-liners and delightfully interactive. Cast members portray country club socialites who are suspects in a murder. The audience tries to guess which character “did it” (winners get gift certificates) and the culprit changes with each production. The cast wanders among the audience throughout; dinner guests might find an actor caressing their shoulders, patting a bald pate or stealing their dinner rolls. After the show, there’s the midway of electronic games for those who want more entertainment.
