It can be a challenge to take the kids to the theater. Will they sit still? Will they pay attention? Will they have fun? At the Mystery Café on the westside of Indianapolis, all of those questions are taken care of!
The shows at Mystery Cafe are interactive and unexpected, and they give any willing participant a part to play, so that the audience becomes a part of the production.
How it Works
Purchase a ticket at www.themysterycafeindy.com. Adult tickets are $68+, which include a dinner of your choice of penne pasta primavera, chicken marsala, maple bourbon pork chop, baked walleye or a ribeye. Each guest will receive a house salad or soup – all provided by Indy’s Library Restaurant. Kids are $25 per ticket for age 13 and younger. If you have a young child that won’t require a meal, no ticket is needed.
On With the Show
The show varies throughout the year and depends heavily on audience participation, but no one is forced to play if they don’t want to. When you walk in, you’re asked if you care to volunteer for a part. If so, you’ll be handed a cue card to read when it’s your turn. There’s a spot for everyone — kids included!
