Dinner with a Plot
At The Bissell Mansion Restaurant and Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre, they have made it easy for visitors to "Get Away with Murder." Guests get to be a part of the action, helping detectives attempt to solve a fiendishly funny crime while enjoying a delicious FOUR COURSE dinner with wine. Some audience members get the chance to deliver lines as part of the show. Others may have to think up a quick alibi for the time of the murder. However, not everyone has to take an active part in the show. With four different murder mysteries each year, Bissell Mansion shows are always fresh. The 2007 lineup is: January - April, Go With the Wind; May - July 2007, Field of Schemes; August - October 2007, Mayhem in Mayberry; and November - December 2007, Murder on 34th Street.
The historic home of Captain Lewis Bissell, a military man who received his commission from President Thomas Jefferson, was built in the mid-1820s. Today, much of the original detailing of the oldest home in St. Louis remains, including the staircase, the fireplace mantels and some interior trim.
