The Mystery Café

David Goldstein founded the Mystery Cafe in the fall of 1986. It was one of many ideas that he had for his first business and everyday he would have a new business idea that he would run by his friends. He called them and told them about the idea that he had to combine the whodunit aspect of Shear Madness with the audience participation of a medieval dinner theater. They all said, David, just shut up and do something!
He did. That was the start of the Mystery Cafe. With the help of writer Phil Lebovits they opened the doors on April 15, 1987 to a full house. That continued five nights a week, and so a dinner theater was born.
It didn't stop there. During the next 7 years they licensed thir concept, the logo and the scripts to producers in 21 cities in the U.S. and Canada. Now the Mystery Cafe is still running strong and you can find mystery dinner theaters all over the world in most major cities and many smaller ones.
The story doesn't end there. They have expanded our offerings locally and now perform on boats, dinner trains, and in function rooms and restaurants all over New England. Their newest idea is not bigger, it is smaller where they bring our shows into homes for special celebrations.

From sales kickoffs to team building events, the excitement generated by our productions sweep guests into the fun and challenge of working together toward a common goal, re-enforcing problem solving, information processing and teamwork while laughing and having fun.
