Years ago I was searching for a good G-Rated mystery script
for
a church activity.  Needless to say, they’re hard to find.  With
encouragement from a friend, I decided to take on writing
one.  “The Lost Lamm” was an remarkably-successful
evening with laughter, mystery and good food.  I continued to
write many
scripts over the next few years and am excited to make them
available to you.

           As your guests arrive (with their assigned potluck
    food item in hand, if desired), the appetizers are on the
    table.  They are seated by
    the characters of your play, dressed in costume and
    acting their part.  (Example:  the overworked maid might
    say, “Your seat’s over here...sit down!”  While the polite
    young heiress would quickly add, “Oh yes, please do sit
    down.  We’re so glad you’re here.”)  This helps the
    audience to feel a part of the story and begin
    connecting with the actors.

           After scene one, the characters again come out
    and serve salad to the audience (again, in character).  
    Then scene two, maybe more before the break for the
    audience to stand and serve themselves the main
    course.  More show and then your characters serve
    dessert as the audience also fills out their solution
    sheet (who they think did it!) and turn them in.  The last
    scene is performed and the mystery is solved.  The
    evening ends with prizes for those in the audience who
    figured out the mystery correctly (you could even have a
    prize for the most creative answer).

       I would have to say these mystery/dinner scripts are
mostly comedy with some mystery thrown in.  You will receive
everything you need to put on a great show in one book:  
signs, prop list, food ideas, music ideas, costuming ideas,
flyers/handouts and program example.  You’re in for a great
night of fun.
