Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need acting experience?
Not at all! Whether you're a Featured Character, spreading some gossip, or simply watching the mystery unfold, our shows are designed for everyone.
Do I have to participate?
Participation is always optional for our guests without a role. Julia may ask you to get involved, but you can always say no. Many guests simply enjoy watching!
Will I be embarrassed?
Absolutely not! We never force anyone to participate. Plus, Julia's brand of comedy improv is never mean-spirited. Whether you're solving the mystery from your table or stepping into a featured role, the experience is designed to be fun, comfortable, and welcoming.
What should I wear?
Costumes are encouraged but never required. Feel free to dress for the Roaring '20s—or simply come as you are. Immersive Experience Packages will be available for purchase during the Pre-Show and Dinner, if you would like some fun accessories to get you in the spirit.
Is dinner included?
Most public performances include food. Check your event listing for details.
Is this appropriate for children?
Absolutely. Children are welcome, and many enjoy dressing up and joining the fun. Our Ultimate Experience Packages are a great way for them to get to be a star, without having a role.
How long is the show?
Approximately 90 minutes.
Can I celebrate a birthday or special occasion?
Absolutely! Let us know in advance and we'll do our best to make your visit even more memorable.
Can I buy a Featured or Ultimate Character Experience at the door?
Sometimes. Because character roles are limited, we strongly recommend reserving your Character Experience Packages in advance. Immersive Experience Packages will be available, and include other ways to get involved without playing a character.
