ART HEIST MIXES MYSTERY, THEATER
Oline H Cogdill
There’s an art heist going around the country and insightful sleuths are needed to solve the crime.
The Art Heist Experience is an interactive true-crime show inspired by the theft of 13 works of art worth $500 million from Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1990. During the play, masked audience groups walk around the crime scene, interviewing “suspects,” then come the solution. Plenty of evidence and clues are scattered about, and, of course, a number of red herrings.
Art Heist Experience combines two of my favorite things mysteries and live theater. And for those of us who desperately miss live theater, this is a start to getting back to it. As well as the theatrical experiences, the productions also are planned with safety in mind. Masks are required, the productions are, for the most part, outside and the new detectives are arranged in small groups of 10 or less.
