Interactive murder-mystery performance where the audience serves as the jury, listens to testimonies and delivers a verdict that changes the ending.
The Jury Experience brings The Deadly Boat Ride to the Salt Lake Masonic Temple on Friday, October 23, with two performances that night: one at 6 PM and another at 9 PM. It's an interactive murder-mystery that puts the audience in the jury box. You're called to jury duty, listen to the testimonies, weigh the evidence, and deliver a final verdict of guilty or not guilty. The company is known for blending immersive storytelling with audience participation, and the choices the jury makes open up hidden angles of the case, so no two shows end the same way. They bill it as an evening that goes beyond traditional stage plays.
If you've never seen one of these, the hook is that you aren't just watching a play unfold—you're the one deciding how it ends. You'll hear the witnesses, look at the evidence, and then deliberate with the rest of the room. Because the verdict rests with the audience, the outcome changes from night to night, and the paths the story takes depend on where the jury lands. It's less like a standard theater seat and more like being part of the courtroom drama itself.
