The Transylvanian Trap
Play the role of a detective in this 3-act play of Murder, Mysteries, and Vampires!
Podium’s Second Murder Mystery Dinner Theater Show will be hosted on Friday, October 24, 2025, from 6:30 - 9:30 pm. The event will have guests band together to solve the murder of John Gray, one of the many guests at the Transylvanian Hotel, who was found with two puncture wounds in his neck and a distinct shortage of blood. You all will determine the motive and solve the case from the suspect pool. The Murder Mystery Dinner Theater Show includes music, a play for the investigation, fun raffle items, and more! Enjoy an evening of Vampires and Mystery at NewMarket Corporation and simultaneously support those who need it the most: underserved youth communities across Richmond.
This year marks Podium’s 16th year helping children and teens build their writing, communication, and leadership skills in preparation for success in school, career, and life. By attending The Show, you play a vital role in the development of these communities. Your early sponsorship commitment will ensure your name and logo are visible throughout Podium’s event season and are included on all invitations, digital, and printed materials.
