There are many possibilities for night time entertainment
in Orlando. Over the years dinner shows have proven to be
very popular with Orlando vacationers, and one of the best
is Sleuths Mystery Dinner Shows which provides two and a
half hours of scripted mystery, improvisation, audience
participation and dinner. Let's take a look at what you can
expect to experience at these shows.

Comedy and mystery are the themes that run through the
shows presented at Sleuths. The website for the theater
lists 14 different shows, which are rotated with about five
different shows being performed on different nights each
week.

What are the shows all about? Without revealing "who did
it," here are some of the plots of the shows. In "Iron
Mansfield's Fox Hunt Banquet" you and other nobles are
invited by Lord Mansfield for a fox hunt banquet in his
mansion. The butler brings you into a lavish banquet room
and amidst the "feast" one of the characters meets a sad
fate, and it is your job to solve the mystery.

In "Squires Inn" you are in a bus that has been touring in
the north of England but your bus breaks down in a remote
country village. You enter the Squires Inn for food and
lodging and get involved in a mystery that involves an old
pensioner who is hiding a treasure. It is done in a
hilarious way and once again you have to use your skills of
deduction to solve the crime. The other shows combine the
same ingredients, a far away place, funny characters,
mayhem and a mystery that must be solved. After you
witness the "crime" you get to enjoy you dinner with
unlimited drinks. While you are dining you can think about
the evidence, analyze and then ask questions to the
suspects and finally you can make your "accusation. " If you
successfully find the culprit you will be given a prize. It
is a format that is a lot of fun and has proven popular
with theater goers for close to thirty years.

For your dinner you will be served hors d'oeuvres, green
salad, dinner rolls and crackers with a special cheese
spread. The menu choices include prime ribs, Cornish hen
and cheese lasagna. There is also a vegetarian meal
available, and all of the meals are served with unlimited
wine, beer and soft drinks.

Dinner shows in general and Sleuths in particular are good
places for group outings. Sleuths offers special group
rates for parties of 15 or more. Sleuths also offers
birthday parties for kids with a special show designed for
children aged 6-12. The kids become the investigators in
their own detective agency. The detective agency is named
for the birthday child and they are all treated to a dinner
of pizza, ice cream and unlimited drinks.

The restaurant is handicapped accessible. If you need to
