q: what makes you different from other
local murder mystery theaters?
many things make our wild west dallas - fort worth murder mystery dinner theater productions great!
- first we start with a murder mystery comedy script that is funny, well written and specific to the texas wild west. we then take that script and add qualified, impeccably trained and talented actors (along with ingenious skillful direction) to create a hilariously funny show.
- lone star murder mystery dinner theater is located at a world-class resort in grapevine (between dallas and fort worth) texas - the gaylord texan hotel. you can even stay the night in the gaylord's deluxe accommodations. click here for details.
- a delicious all-you-can-eat dinner buffet is professionally catered by the gaylord texan resort. you certainly want your dinner to be as high-end as your dinner theater.
- dallas / fort worth guests experience the one-of-a-kind wild west atmosphere and culture. be swept away in the old west as you watch actors dressed in elaborate detailed authentically wild west texas costuming. get ready to enjoy a thrilling and hilarious trip back in time.
- you will not be tricked into participating any more than you are comfortable with. actors are clearly identifiable by their costumes so you will know who is audience and who is acting. you can just sit back, relax, enjoy (and perhaps solve) a side-splitting, comedic murder mystery.
- you will have the opportunity to have your photo taken with the cast after the show! you can access and download these photos from our web site for free.
- our grapevine, texas location is easily accessible to guests from many north texas localities such as fort worth, dallas, arlington, the mid-cities, denton, southlake,

the 90-minute murder mystery comedy unfolds in three acts. each table functions as a team to solve the mystery. following act two, each table/team has the fun opportunity to interrogate the murder suspects. each table then submits a ballot naming who they believe is the guilty party. after the ballots are collected act three is performed and the mystery is solved.
you can expect a unique theatrical experience that will leave you laughing long after the show is over. come discover what everyone is talking about!
overall, you will have an unforgettable evening of fun! you can expect to see a hilariously funny, side-splitting, award winning, entertaining comedy murder mystery. you can expect an exciting interactive murder mystery comedy set in the fort worth texas 1880’s when texas was still young and the west was still very wild. for murder mystery aficionados, we provide intrigue, suspense and challenge for your investigative skills. for those who just want to have fun with dinner, we provide more hilarity than you can laugh at!

q: what is a "wild west" theme?
when you attend our wild west murder mystery dinner theatre, you take light-hearted journey back to the old wild west of texas.
actors are arrayed in elaborate, authentic, detailed costuming straight out of the wild west 1880’s of texas. comedy scripts are based loosely on stories that took place in the wild texas frontier town of fort worth, where crime and vice were easy to find if you wanted. the town was not unlike most western towns -- built on cattle trails and railroads -- where trail cowboys, gunfighters, and outlaws gathered in saloons, hotels, restaurants (and even theaters) to wile away the long western nights.
one of the most recognizable images from the old west (and a setting for our show) is a saloon filled with colorful characters living out their lives. inside, we might see dance hall girls, gamblers, cowboys off the dusty trail, a town merchant and maybe even a traveling preacher attempting to turn a wayward soul back to the righteous path.
are you ready to visit the old wild west?

q: can i take my own photos/videos?
guests are welcomed to take photos during our productions.
we also offer a “photos with the cast” session immediately following the show. those photos are posted on our lone star murder mystery web site for your convenience. you can download for free and share with your friends.
guests are not allowed to use video cameras during the show due to proprietary copyrights.
q: can i get a hotel room, too, and
make it “a night”?
q: may i bring my children?
although, we have had younger children attend, if you were to ask for a rating, we’d give it a pg-10. children above the age of 10 are welcomed to our wild west lone star murder mystery dinner theater.
while the dinner theater show is hilariously funny and the content is family friendly, our productions are not necessarily geared to a young audience. the show is 90 minutes and most children may not be able or willing to sit through a 90-minute production. so if you bring a child, you will want to make sure that your child can sit quietly and enjoy the show for that duration.
there is no offensive language. there is no blatant or overly sexual behavior; however, there may be use of innuendo and/or double entendre with some characters.
