I do not know of anywhere that does this regularly in New Orleans. There could be one but I don't see a listing on line either. As a general thing, I see on line that these are usually corporate events for conventions and the like.
However, I have one lead for you to follow. This company: murderalacarteinc.com/ does mystery dinners in the New Orleans area and according to its site some of them are open to the public. They list one in August, but nothing as far in advance as Thanksgiving.
Perhaps you could call or email them to learn if one is available when you will be visiting, or get put on their mail list. To tell the truth, it's hard to imagine this being popular in New Orleans, which has one of the country's highest real murder rates. Most years it's in the top two or three per population.

Did lots of research and cant seem to find any in New Orleans sorry... but I did find a site with murder mystery shows if you are willing to travel here it is. gigmasters.com/Search/MurderMysteryEnter... hope that helped hun =.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
