America’s largest interactive comedy murder mystery dinner theatre show is now playing! Solve a hilarious mystery while you feast on a fantastic dinner. Just beware! The culprit is hiding in plain sight somewhere in the room, and you may find yourself as a Prime Suspect before you know it!

Join us for an event that is very different from a traditional murder mystery dinner show. Our actors are not dressed in costume and are hidden in the audience! This results in a fun, social and interactive evening suitable for all adults.

Each ticket includes our signature award-winning murder mystery dinner theatre show, along with a full plated dinner, waitstaff gratuity, and plenty of surprises during the show.

Through the Label, R&R provides marketing and promotional support, business services, and a performance venue they can call home. The relationship with our artists is designed to provide them with space at the Old City Performing Arts Center for rehearsals and performances. R&R handles the heavy lifting on the business side, allowing artists to do what they do best - create beautiful art. We fully support our artists in chasing their dreams and cultivating the lives they desire. We believe artists should be fairly and equitably compensated for their work, and respected as leaders in our community. Our goal is to strategically invest in our artists and help them reach the next step in their respective journeys.

FREE, 6-9 PM

Join us for Knox County Parks & Recreation's Second Saturday Concert Series and hear some live music in the park! We will have music, food, drinks, and fun things to do for the whole family. Sit back and enjoy the gorgeous views of The Cove at Concord Park, while you feed your ears some great local music.

On Saturday, August 10th, we are featuring Knoxville native Jeff BearCat Bunch!

BearCat began as a tour manager and roadie for various artists, getting a unique, behind-the-scenes perspective of life on the road as a musician and songwriter. It was those experiences that led him down his own artistic path, creating songs of loss, love and everything in between. With a haunting, grizzly voice that demands a listening ear, and a deep personal respect for the School of Songwriting, this Tennesseean turned Texan will have you holding on to every note.

You don't want to miss this FREE event, so grab a lawn chair, your listening ears and your dancing feet- and meet us at The Cove!
