For the past six years, DramaTech and the Student Center Programs Council have worked together to produce an annual Murder Mystery Dinner Theater. The Murder Mystery Dinner Theater is a fun filled night of mystery, comedy, and interactive theater in which the actors follow a scripted story line as they improv with the audience. It is a unique opportunity to for both actors and audience to take part in a show that is both fun and unpredictable. Everyone that walks in the door is part of the show and you will not always know who is acting and who is audience. The only predictable part of the night is that you'll have a great time.
Singing, dancing, acting, improv. These are the four ingredients to a spectacle of entertainment. Come and join us as VarietyTech and Let's Try This! perform their own special mix.

Set in a lush English manor, Arcadia is a play that revolves between the past and present, blending ideas and events of the past with the present in a completely seamless effort. As manor residents of the present day use old books and objects to reconstruct the events of the past, the past residents live out that history onstage and share the truth, mystery, and genius of their lives. Arcadia is a beautifully written play that offers intrigue and commonality, dark and light, intellectual and emotional.
The funny and touching story of Calvin Jones, a 16-year-old biology expert, his would-be superhero brother, Alexander, a college dropout with an IQ on par with da Vinci, and their parents, ornithologist Maureen Allen Jones and the conflicted antihero Ellis Jones, a physicist at the Pentagon who apparently likes to tinker at home on the weekends. In a race against time, Alexander knows what’s wrong with the world and fully intends to fix it. Ellis believes he knows how to end “the arms race” and Maureen knows she’s making the right decision in quitting her job. Calvin is the only one who doesn’t have the answers. If he could only answer the question of why his fish are dying, he could keep up with the other Joneses. Keeping up with the Joneses has been nominated for four playwriting competitions, including the Mark Twain Award for best new comedy, and won the region IV Student Playwriting Award of the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival.
An epic battle between good and evil, Jekyll and Hyde tells a tale about a brilliant doctor whose experiments with human personality go awry.

To make Sidney's writing slump even more painful, Clifford Anderson, a student in one of Sidney's writing seminars, has recently sent his mentor a copy of his first attempt at playwriting for review and advice. Clifford’s play, Deathtrap, is a two act thriller so perfect in its construction that, as Sidney says states even a master playwright could not hurt it. Using his affinity for plot, and out of his desperate desire to once again be the toast of Broadway, Sidney, along with Myra, cook up an almost unthinkable scheme. They'll lure the Clifford to the Bruhl home, kill him, and market the sure-fire script as Sidney's own. But shortly after Clifford arrives, it's clear that things are not what they seem.
