Vaudeville Cafe mixes food and fun to entertain patrons.Vaudeville Cafe will close its doors permanently after 15 years of comedy shows.
Chris Hampton, general manager of the business, said in an email that the “financial realities of running a restaurant today were too much of a burden to go on.”
Founded in 1999, the family-friendly show was known as a destination for tourists, and saw several generations of actors pass through its doors, Hampton said.
Shows included titles like “Mystery at the Nightmare Office Party,” Mystery of Flight 138,” Mystery of the Facebook Fugitive,” and Mystery at the Redneck-Italian Wedding.” Guests were encouraged to meet and talk with the shows’s characters, then witness and help solve a make-believe crime.
The 150-seat stadium-style hall included tables and booths. The business listed 13 actors on its website on Monday evening.
