INDIANAPOLIS — A new production is coming to downtown Indy this fall that will let the audience be a part of the show!

For three weekends in October, the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site is hosting "Mobster, Molls and Murder," an interactive murder mystery show where guests will work in teams to interrogate suspects and gather clues throughout the mansion to solve the crime.

Here's the full description of the show from Candlelight Theatre:

Don your flapper dresses and newsboy caps and join us as Candlelight Theatre presents a thrilling murder mystery set in the 1920s and staged in the home of President Benjamin Harrison - will your team successfully solve the murder of Mickey Scapone?

Prohibition is still in full swing in Indianapolis, and while it makes alcohol a difficult commodity to obtain, it certainly isn’t impossible. Mickey Scapone is boss of one of the largest gangs responsible for importing the contraband. He owns Swingers, arguably the most popular speakeasy in the city. From bodyguards to sassy jazz singers, alcohol to fine dining, this hip club has everything. And tonight, it even has a murder.

Guests will work in teams of 10, interrogating suspects and getting clues throughout the mansion to solve the crime. Will you be the one to crack the case? If you’re looking to impress, don your best 1920s style duds and dazzle your fellow sleuths!

Tickets are on sale for the shows Oct. 11-12, 18-19 at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., and Oct. 27 at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.
