Magic Dinner Theatre – California Magic & Novelty Company
Activity/Event/Show Reviewed: Dinner Theatre
Address: 729 Castro Street
City: Martinez
Phone: (925) 374-0056
Summary: The doors open promptly at 7:30 pm and your hosts welcome you. You are escorted to the table where you will be seated. While waiting for the meal (it won’t be long !) you’ll be entertained by a magician or two visiting your table and demonstrating wonders: some that are difficult and others that are impossible! Professional magic just a few feet in front of you will make you doubt your own eyes!
Then the dinner, which is ample and delicious. With a dimming of the house lights and some stirring music, signal the start of the formal magic show. The emcee provides a little history, a little humor, and a little magic while introducing the warm-up act. Warm-up performers are polished professional entertainers still on the rise in the magic community, a chance to see tomorrow’s headliners early in their careers! Then the headliner, a performer well known nationally or internationally, performs mystifying (and sometimes hilarious) feats. After the emcee wraps up the formal show, you’ll have a chance to meet the performers and to purchase the latest mysteries available in the magic shop.

Liberty Hotel Restaurant Murder Mystery Dinner
Address: 200 E. Third Street
City: Pittsburg
Phone: (925) 427-1770
From Website: Witness a murder by Gibson House Mystery Performers, the most popular mystery dinner theatre troupe in the San Francisco, North Bay, South Bay and East Bay Area. You will laugh, witness a crime, and help solve the mystery… while enjoying a gourmet dinner. The fun begins the moment you step into the dining area. You become part of the scene, as colorful GibsonHouse characters surround your every move.
You are encouraged to play along, as the professional actors are well skilled in using your clue-hunting questions as springboards to present the mystery plot. Be prepared, as a three-course dinner is served between scenes of the mystery, giving you ample opportunity to ask questions and try to solve the crime. Whether you’re looking for the perfect murder to celebrate a special birthday or anniversary, a group or corporate event “to die for,” or you just want to give the gift of murder, look no further… We’re committed to serving up a memorable Murder!
While mingling with guests, characters (actors) engage in heated discussions, attracting attention. During the meal, clues are overheard and observed. Plus, written clues are distributed. Though all mystery plays are fully scripted, ad lib interaction between actors and audience is inevitable… and then a “murder” (maybe two murders!) takes place. The actual foul deed occurs out of sight, but the victim(s) succumbs in full view. By the end of the entrée, the characters accuse each other and guests! One of the characters claims to have solved the mystery, then challenges the guests to do the same.
Each table constitutes a team, and receives a Solution Sheet for completion within a certain time frame. The sheets are collected and scored… and the crime solver unmasks the culprit during the final scene… causing each team to be either despondent or exhilarated! Finally, prizes are given to the winning sleuths. We reward for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
In the end, we promise you that Gibson House is committed to serving up a memorable Murder!
