The Dinner Detective is America’s LARGEST, award-winning interactive comedic murder mystery dinner show! Our high-energy, modern-day whodunit is combined with a full four-course meal.
Our immensely popular murder mystery shows are set in the present day. Unlike other murder mystery dinner shows (or just dinner shows in general), with The Dinner Detective, you and your guests will not find themselves staring at cheesy costumes, there will be no recited campy dialogue and certainly no hokey song and dance. Our performers are dressed just like everyone else, leaving all of the guests to suspect who is a part of the show and who is not! All scripts are based on actual cold cases and are created in house. From the get go, the guests are seated with the performers and most likely will not realize it! Our Detectives enter the room, proceed to interrogate guests, find clues and start the investigation. This allows our guests to socialize with and interrogate each other, while deciphering real life-based clues. At the end of the night, prizes are awarded to the Top Sleuth who solves the crime!
Time: 11:00am-3:00pm
Location: Central Library, Room N-361, 300 Nicollet Mall

Boom Island’s own Taproom Manager Jim, AKA “Haiku Jim,” will be reading his holiday haiku poems at 6pm and hoping people find them funny, followed by Boom Room Jazz stalwarts The Brad Bellows Quintet, featuring Larry Hillman, who will play a special holiday set at 7pm.
Jim intends to provide a little ray of sunshine during these stressful holidays. His hilariously dark haiku poems might lead one to believe that he hates the holiday. One look at the taproom décor will tell you the opposite it true. Jim’s friends and family know these poems well. This is the first time they will be aired out in a public setting in the form of a live reading.

December Sip of Science - Deadliest Enemy: A war against killer germs
Michael Osterholm PhD, MPH Regents Professor and McKnight Presidential Endowed Chair in Public Health, Director, Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy School of Public Health, University of Minnesota

As our world continues to become more globalized and populated, we see rising susceptibility to epidemics and even worldwide pandemics. Ironically, a pandemic on the scale of the 1918 flu that killed more than hundred million people would be deadlier today, despite a century of medical advances. With recent outbreaks of Zika and Ebola in our national conversation, we can see how unprepared we are for disease outbreaks. What can we do? What must be done to limit exposure and contain outbreaks in real-time? Join us as Dr. Osterholm discusses the why we are so vulnerable today to infectious diseases and what we must do to be better prepared. He will discuss the nine point Crisis Agenda to respond to the current preparedness crisis. He details this agenda in his soon-to-be published book, Deadliest Enemy: A War Against Killer Germs.
