The last Murder is a Drag 19+ show this summer is on Friday July 10, with Chapter 1: Dinner Date With Death.
It’s murder mystery with musical performances, puzzles to solve, and prizes!
There are four shows in the series, each one is a standalone mystery. Here is your chance to start with the original show in the series if you haven’t been before!
Monthly murder mystery shows with killer musical performances, puzzles and prizes!
Starring Empress 45 Glimmer Rouge, volunteers from the DMS (Dogwood Monarchist Society) will also be there raising funds for The Loving Spoonful, Living In Pride and the Friends for Life Society with merch and snacks for sale.
The doors open one hour before the show (and so does the bar!). No entry before the official “doors open” time, so remember to come early and get a good seat (and maybe even a role in the show) and hang out. Seating is first come, first serve. There will be a mix of tables and theatre style row seating. Smaller groups may be seated with other groups.
Plan to arrive early if you are hoping for a role in the show (a line to say, an action, a prop). Costumes are encouraged.
Tickets always include a seat for the performance (general admission), puzzles to solve and the chance to win prizes. Group rates and reserved seating available when you purchase at least 10 tickets.
Murder is a Drag: a 90 minute murder mystery experience (with two intermissions)
You don’t have to participate; you can just watch the show. If you just want to watch, it’s recommended you don’t sit in the first row or along the aisles.
- Eager to be a part of the fun? If you didn’t receive specific instructions or a prop from an Experience Host before the show you will have opportunities to help the detective along the way. If the detective asks a question – call out your answer!
- There are puzzles to solve – this is a Vancouver Mysteries experience after all! During the show you will receive puzzles to solve – it will reveal important clues to the mystery.
- This is a collaborative and social experience – you may be seated with other people. You can choose to solve the mystery together as a team or on your own, it’s up to you.
- You will be seated during this experience – guests will be seated and the mystery will unfold around you. There is a stage area but the cast will also move around the room.
- The bar is open during the show. You can order during the show and there are also two intermissions.
- Performances – the cast is entirely made up of drag performers from our Murder is a Drag Ensemble – the three suspects and the detective in this murder mystery are drag performers and they will also perform songs.
