The Mystery Experience: Get your tickets for this show, part of the the wildly successful Murder is a Drag series by Vancouver Mysteries. The murder mystery shows in the Murder is a Drag series are original Vancouver Mysteries productions created here in downtown Vancouver and performed by locals. You don’t need to see the shows in any particular order – each chapter in the series is a separate murder mystery with a new story and new suspects. A few guests will also be included in the action with props and lines (optional- you can also choose to just watch the show).

Murder is a Drag Chapter 1: Dinner Date With Death is our first show in the series and has been performed to over a dozen sold out audiences so far! Dinner Date with Death is a murder mystery set at a restaurant. Can you sort through the alibi’s and the drama and solve it?
