Adventure #2: Murder Mystery Dinner Theater

Decided to try another new activity that I've wanted to explore for years - Murder Mystery Dinner Theater. Wow! This turned out to be such a blast. Never mind I was the only person there without a friend or two, I still managed to have a frightfully good time, and once again was reminded that a partner is not required in order to have fun!

The setting: Homey Italian Restaurant near a major university
The players: 4 middle-aged female friends, 1 with her mother, and 1 with her male companion; 2 20-something couples dressed to the nines; and me!
The theme: Prohibition-era Chicago, mafia-esque

As this was my first experience with dinner theater, I was unsure of the "rules" of the game, but it quickly became apparent that 1) I could make up really anything I wanted to about my character, 2) I didn't know everything about my character at the same time that others did, and 3) staying "in character" is a true testament of acting talent, of which I have none. Nonetheless, lots of laugh ensued, and I'm excited about my next adventure to come. Any suggestions?
