About

A HILARIOUS "WHODUNNIT"

Vinnie Canneloni was asphyxiated, electrocuted, drowned, and shot. His family has invited you to his wake and memorial service.

The Great Spaghetti Murders is an immersive audience participation experience. Throughout the evening guests mingle with the family members who are all suspects in Vinnie's death. The play takes place throughout the building and guests are encouraged to eavesdrop on secret conversations, interrogate suspects and figure out the mystery!

DOORS TO THE THEATRE OPEN AT 6:30PM.

However, you may queue up ahead of time. The show begins the moment you enter the building. (And maybe even before!)

There is NO ASSIGNED SEATING for this show. All tickets are general admission, since you will be moving about the building throughout the evening.

Even though, of course we are sad (sort of) to see Vinnie go, the bar will be open, to drown your sorrows and lift your spirits! We recommend bringing CASH for the bar in order to speed up transactions, however credit cards are, of course, accepted as usual.

Dinner is served as part of the show, and you may even share a table with one of Vinnie's relatives!

Feel free to come dressed in your best black mourning clothes... or not. No one liked him anyhow. It is not required to dress up, but it is more fun!

Please Note: There will be NO SHOW ONLY tickets sold for The Great Spaghetti Murders. The food is part of the experience!

THE GREAT SPAGHETTI MURDER RULES 

FATHER FREELEY
SHELLY WELLY
GINA

1. You will receive a "brochure" upon arrival. Read this brochure. Know it's contents! If you don't read it you won't know wht the heck is going on!

2. Do NOT stay in a seat. Get up and move around! The play is happening throughout the building. Many scenes take place simultaneously. You cannot see it all in one performance.

3. Do NOT stand in, or follow a character through a closed doorway, curtains or to the second floor! It is dangerous! Murderers could be anywhere!

4. If a character asks you to dance, DANCE with them. You may get information to help you solve the mystery!

5. Be brave! Act on your choices with conviction! Follow your impulses!

6. Following only ONE or TWO characters around will yield more order! If you just "wander around" you will lose the thread of the story you are creating!

7. If you are here with friends, SPLIT UP! Several sources of clues are better than one! Interrogate those around you. Compare notes!

8. Watch the stories or watch the watchers! Either way, get involved!

9. You may ask the characters questions, but be warned, THEY MAY LIE TO YOU !

10. If you have seen the show before keep your mouth shut and your ears open! You may be surprised what a different story you'll experience!

11. You could see this show at every performance and never experience the same story! Choose a different character each time you come!
