America’s largest interactive true crime mystery dinner theatre show is now playing in Baltimore! Solve a hilarious mystery while you feast on a fantastic dinner. Just beware! The culprit is hiding in plain sight somewhere in the room, and you may find yourself as a Prime Suspect before you know it!

Join us for an event that is very different from a traditional mystery dinner show. Our actors are not dressed in costume and are hidden in the audience! This results in a fun, social and interactive evening suitable for all adults.

Putty Hill film screening + Q&A w/ Director Matt Porterfield

Friends and family of Cory, a young man who has died of an overdose, gather at a Baltimore-area karaoke bar for his wake and compare stories about him. Gradually, as it becomes clear that there are many holes in their recollections about Cory, they fill in the blanks by talking about things that reveal aspects of their own lives. Among those mourning him and searching for meaning are his cousin Jenny, his sister Zoe and his brother James.

Fresh comedy. Local talent. Unlimited laughs from Highwire Improv. Here’s our lineup:

Scrapple: There is only one rule when it comes to a Scrapple show — Let’s Get Weird. This group of friends do their best to perform a set of montage scenes, a pretty flower, or 20 scenes in 20 minutes, but it always ends up devolving into mayhem — and they wouldn’t have it any other way. This Baltimore-based indie team takes audience suggestions, and turns into 20 minutes of fun, weirdness, chaos and sometimes with a little bit of classic improv structure.

Alfred Yun comes to An die Musik Live to perform songs from his latest album, Voice and Phenomenon, which explores the relationship between love and violence. It uses the medium of the voice — gibberish, games, poems, singing, spoken word, laughter, and more — to explore different forms of love and violence. The album invites the listener into an intimate account of these disparate voices, sounds, and experiences. It is the most personal and revealing work of his career.
