MYSTERY DINNER THEATER

For our Wings Financial Fall employee event we attended a Murder Mystery Dinner Theater at the Marriot West hotel in St. Louis Park mid September. These shows are considered interactive as the actors mingle with the audience in between a three course meal. Generally speaking the food is not the greatest, but, yes, it was edible. The name of the production was, A Man in Pajamas. Of course they always involve a murder, usually in the beginning and the rest of the time is spent trying to figure out who committed the murder. The show begins when Detective Chase Taylor recieves a midnight visit from a stranger in pajamas who is shot minutes later and dies. He then follows the murder trail to the Bahamas where he, of course, solves the murder. I have never been very good at figuring out who committed the murder. These work related functions provide a time to get to know your fellow workers and hopefully do some bonding which must be somehow beneficial to the company, or why would they spend the money? I usually try to attend these functions if at all possible, as it really is a perk and basically provides a free dinner and show. But obviously by the attendance numbers, not many people want to take advantage of freebies. At least not this one. Ultimately, the night was enjoyable and well worth the time spent.
