Join us for our summer discussion series, "Who's on First?": What's Up with the First Amendment? Each week we'll focus on one of the freedoms enumerated in the Constitution. We'll talk about various Supreme Court decisions and the different ways these rights have been interpreted, in the past and in the present. We'll hash them out for ourselves, and decide what the Supreme Court got right and what they got wrong. Level up your citizenship game with us at Lincoln Library. *The August event will be on the third Tuesday of the month, August 19th.*

North America's largest interactive comedy murder mystery dinner theatre show is now playing in Springfield, IL! Solve a hilarious true crime murder 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.
Each ticket includes our signature award-winning mystery dinner theatre show, along with a full plated dinner, waitstaff gratuity, and plenty of surprises during the show.
