This iconic historic location serves as the atmospheric backdrop for the Jest Murder Mystery Company’s interactive dinner theatre, a one-of-a-kind experience that invites guests to become detectives for an evening.

Each offers a clever narrative full of twists, laugh-out-loud moments, and audience participation that allows attendees to engage as much or as little as they like.

The mansion’s interiors, rich with period details and haunting ambiance, elevate the suspense and excitement, making it a standout cultural event within the St. Louis landscape.
Ideal for groups, couples, or anyone looking for a unique night out that pairs storytelling with fine dining, this dinner theatre turns a night inside into an adventurous hunt for clues. Its blend of theatrical fun with historical flavor offers an unexpected escape from the typical Missouri outing.
