Your New Murder Mystery Experience 

This Feast on an extraordinary dinner, solve the murder of at least one odd character, and get to know a venue, well, to die for! There is never a dull moment at The Museum’s Murder Mystery Dinner Theater!

Food, fashion, fun, laughter, suspense and an air of mystery await you at this year’s début of Murder at Rundown Abbey. So slip into your favorite vintage fashions, grab your friends and reserve your seats at one of Southeast Texas’ most intriguing and scandalously exciting dining
experiences ever! Do it now! You don’t want to miss one minute!

All our Murder Mystery shows sell out. And our guests come back season after season for the fun of it.

Unlike other theatrical shows, our Murder Mystery experience is completely immersive; you will think you are part of the action (and you might be!) You witness a crime, assemble the clues, and solve the mystery, all before dessert!

So grab your magnifying glass, your Fedora, and your friends and get ready to solve the case that will keep you guessing, and laughing, until the last curtain.

Lights, Camera, Action!

Without a Hitch
written by Steven Biggs and Michael Coleman and used by special arrangement with Artistry Matters Entertainment

A spoof of and a tribute to the Master of Suspense, relying on prototypes of Hitchcock characters, from seedy low-lifes, to elegant criminals, to the innocent midwestern honeymooners.  Inspector Truffaut is a French policeman, who's read too many Hercule Poirot mysteries.  He has found Harriet Granger dead at the roulette wheel at Cafe' LaChat. Alas, Jacque Anthony, the English Owner, finds herself plagued by bad luck. Making things even more interesting is the French Chanteuse, the Italian barmaid with a heart of gold, and the "innocent" honeymooners and of course, the blackjack dealer. Come visit Cafe' LaChat and help Inspector Truffaut solve another memorable mystery.
A guy could get VERTIGO, looking for this killer, and everyone is under SUSPICION. He (or she) could be headed NORTH BY NORTHWEST or out the REAR WINDOW. Or that NOTORIOUS PSYCHO could be right here, among us.  I CONFESS, this paragraph is for THE BIRDS. Come help us find the killer.

Jumpin' Jehosephat!
