Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre has been serving up food, fun and fabulous live entertainment for everyone since 1973. Located in College Park, the theatre was part of a chain of dinner theatres built by Louisville contractor J. Scott Talbott. It was called "Beef" because of the delicious hand carved roast beef served before the performances, and "Boards" referring to the boards or stage of a theatre. Today, the Indianapolis location is privately owned and the sole remaining Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre, entertaining more than 150,000 theatergoers annually. Each season includes professional Broadway shows, plays and acclaimed children's theatre productions by our resident Pyramid Players. But a visit to Beef & Boards is more than just great theatre! We offer a tasty dinner buffet prepared by our in-house executive chef, plus a full-service bar and mouthwatering gourmet desserts. Be sure to stop by the Intermission gift shop for unique gift ideas, and ask about seeing more shows for less through our VIP membership program. Come see why each year more and more people discover the value and quality of Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre!

Each show is about a fictitious group of people present for some reason or another to have dinner when murder interrupts their proceedings. The arriving audience is written into the story as this group of people. Two very funny performers play the main characters in the story while volunteers play the minor characters, which usually includes the murderer and their victim. Just sit back and enjoy the show or be in the show, your choice. Dinner is served a course at a time between the acts. Enjoy a great dinner from one of Indianapolis's finest restaurant The Library Restaurant & Pub. We occupy the banquet room for the fun of a murder mystery while downstairs the regular diners just have dinner without the fun. For those wanting to be a detective you can make your guess at the end of the third act. We will discover who the killer is in Act 4. After the show, we present a prize to the person whom best guessed who "dunnit." The second prize, the most coveted prize in Indianapolis, is the Hammy award which is presented to the best audience character in the show. Each performance is unique because the audience is directly and deeply involved. The magic lies in the interaction and unbridled creativity which occur in a room full of people who began the evening as strangers, but go home as friends.
