Looking for an audience interactive mystery dinner theater with a Christian theme? This is it.
The Children’s Hospital will get the badly needed new wing once the Starlight Sapphire has been sold to the highest bidder. In all its 2621 years, the gem has never passed hands smoothly but how much of the bizarre history is fact and how much is fantasy? The oddball assortment of buyers includes a washed up actress, foreign dignitaries, a teenage country and western singing sensation, a wealthy computer geek and his lawyer as well as feuding family members. Would any action be too extreme for those obsessed with possessing the Starlight Sapphire?
The Mystery of the Starlight Sapphire is a three scene play with dinner occurring between scenes One and Two and dessert between scenes Two and Three. The cast is comprised of four males, six females and 2 roles for either male or female performers. Run time varies but allow 1.5 to 2 hours. Pictures of past productions are included for costuming ideas.
Download the script and director’s notes here. Available separately for no charge are ancillary materials including a brochure describing the history of the Starlight Sapphire and “discovered” evidence about Ching, Betty Blue, Delilah and Bertha. These may be altered to suit your particular show. Get them for free at the Fools for Christ website.
