The crew of The Starstruck Princess Dinner Cruise is anxiously awaiting your arrival for their evening cruise. Julia, the Cruise Director, will energetically keep everyone in a good mood, and don't be surprised if she calls upon her cheerleading days to try and pump you up. Captain Rubing is regaling everyone with his tall tales and keeping busy giving tours of the ship to Christine, a repeat passenger several times over. Dr. Pricker is on board, giving his special medical advice, and Qaro, the "Gichy-Gichy Girl" is excited to be entertaining for all the folks tonight, along with her partner Valentino.
However, when Valentino, The Latin Lover, doesn't show up, we find that he has been murdered! Accusations will be made and motives will be found. And the crew will definitely need the audience's help in figuring this one out.
The Detective Dinner Theater is an interactive murder mystery dinner theater that involves the audience in the action. The audience finds the clues and solves the murder. Each table is the “front row” as the cast walks freely about the room during the entire performance. Each scene is followed by a dinner course, and before it’s over, the audience is invited to guess “whodunit”. Local playwright, Charla Garrison, is the writer and director of “All Aboard for Murder!” This marks her ninth full-length murder mystery play. Garrison is originally from Dayton, Ohio and has been a Largo resident for more than nine years. While up north, she stage managed and performed in several statewide shows, including two USO shows for the governor of Ohio and several holiday revues.
Garrison also worked closely with The Miss Ohio Scholarship Program, coordinating entertainers, stage managing, working backstage and writing. She is a very talented and charismatic young lady.
The Detective Dinner Theater had been performing at the Belleview Biltmore for more than eight years. While The Biltmore is closing its doors, The Detective Dinner Theater is not. The Detective Dinner Theater's new permanent location is at The Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront.
