San Miguel’s First Mystery Dinner Theatre Show at Café Rama! Written by Joseph Bennett

“Why isn’t there a Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre show in San Miguel? Audiences would love it!” After asking himself this question for nearly twelve years, Eli Hans decided it was finally time! After the success of their award-winning show Out of The Blue and the celebrated SMA Solo Theatre Festival, San Miguel’s dynamic duo Eli Hans and Joseph Bennett bring you a brand-new theatrical experience: a deliciously twisted Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre Extravaganza where passion simmers, secrets spill, and dinner is served with a side of scandal.

LOVE, LIES & LEFTOVERS – A Smorgasbord of Scandal, Shenanigans & Suspicion welcomes you into the world of the lavish 45^th anniversary celebration of characters Sylvia and Richard Montclaire. Set at the fabulous Café Rama, it’s a night where love, lust, and the occasional lapse in judgment are on the menu.

You’ll be part of the Montclaires’ A-list circle of friends. The evening includes welcome cocktails, a delectable three-course dinner, and the delightful show. Onstage, the story unfolds between courses as pretense unravels, relationships crack, and the anniversary celebration spirals into a scandalous mystery. With only 52 seats per performance, the experience is intimate and thrillingly close. Whether you’re seated at elegant VIP tables near the action or a few feet away in general seating, the show dishes up plenty of hilarity, scandal and pure fun.

The fabulous cast includes Krystal McCulloch, James Cox, Arden Trevino, Joseph Bennett, Eli Hans, Andy Rostad, Pedro Mijares, Julio Álvarez, and Vanessa French. Deep gratitude for all our sponsors, especially Coldwell Banker SMART, artists and tech behind the scenes, and the tremendous support of Café Rama’s staff.

LOVE, LIES & LEFTOVERS, written and directed by Eli Hans, invites you to come hungry for laughs, intrigue, and a touch of mischief. Help Inspector Croissant solve a whodunit that will keep you laughing all night. One thing is certain: not everyone’s telling the truth… and someone won’t make it to dessert.

Fridays and Saturdays - February 20 through March 14, 2026. Seating is limited. Tickets available at Café Rama Box Office or via WhatsApp +52 (415) 237-6942. Details at SMAdinnertheatre.com
