Our mysteries are improvisational and audience participatory.  What that means is that you and yours will play many of the parts involved.  We try to make all of our shows safe, but "dog-gone-it", try as we might, at every show someone is murdered.  Now we have a mystery!  Who did it?  Someone you know?  Or you?  You'll have outrageous fun figuring it out.  You'll meet lots of characters, but,...then again,...my guess is you're already quite a character, aren't you?  Whether you'd like to participate a lot, or just a little, we promise you a wild time at one of our murder mysteries!

Ok, so just what are these mystery dinners?
In a nutshell?  
They are interactive, (that means some audience members will play a part)
They have a script but they are also improvisational, (that means we don't really know what exactly will happen at each show)
They are funny, (that means they are funny)

A Fistful of Hollars! 

Welcome to the western town of "Dry Gulp"  You have been invited to a party thrown by Digger Deep.  He's the local mortician who is trying to drum up a little business.  How does a funeral home drum up business?  By inviting Nasty Nate, the local bad guy to the party.  Surely they'll be a "killin" or two.  But guess who gets "kilt"?  I guess we'll have to call on that crack detective, Squint Leastwood to find out who did it!   Someone you know?  Or maybe it was you?  You'll meet lots of fun characters!  Characters like Fanny Dango, Wyatt Burp, and Messy James and lot's of others!

We promise a wild ride at "A Fistful of Hollars!"  

Don't forget to wear your boots, 'cause it's gonna get pretty deep!

Bullets in the Bathtub

Welcome to the 1920's where bathtubs were made for one thing only.  To make gin!  (Ok, maybe two things).  Lot's of gangsters are showing up at "Cherry's Speakeasy" to talk about the turf war going on between the Corneolis and the Buttafuccos.  Just when we think things are going to settle down, in comes Harry Hyde, (the famous Russian mobster).  He sure does know how to make enemies!  Deadly ones!  I guess the local constable, Doyle Lonnegan, will come and solve the crime, but not before things get pretty kooky!  You'll meet crazy characters like Red E. Mix, (the local concrete salesman), Trixie, ( the owner of Cherry's) and many others before we find out who put "da finger" on Harry's Hyde!  Was it Larry, The Rug?  Was it Joey, The Lips?  Or maybe, J Edna Hoover?  Don't forget your gangster hat, your tommy gun and your flapper! 

Idols "is" for Idiots!

Ever want to meet the people in the Bible?  Now's your chance!  This mystery dinner is set in the Old Testament!   There’s no murder in this show, but someone steals a semi-precious relic!  Who did it?  Maybe you?  With the help of the audience you'll meet lots of Bible Characters.  Characters like Sampson, Noah, and Abraham.  Even Cleopatra will be there!  The perfect show for church groups because it satisfies that Eleventh commandment, "Thou shalt have fun!"  We're sure that after an evening in the "Old Testament" you'll be convinced that "Idols are for Idiots!"

The Comic Book Killer!  

Step into a world of Superheroes and Super Villains!  In the past they only argued with each other, but now they have a common enemy.  The Evil Doctor Weevil!  He has sworn to destroy heroes and villains alike!  However, someone uses his own fiendish plot against him!  You’ll meet lots of silly characters like “The Ice Man” and “Psychic Woman” or you may be a silly character yourself.  Fun for both the ladies and the men!  Don’t forget your mask and cape when you attend this “Super” show!

Muuuurder in Maaaaayberry!

Aunt Dee is throwing a garden party to raise money to buy fertilizer for the Mayberry Flower and Garden Club.  Unfortunately, someone has tried to sabotage the garden spot!  Earnest D. Sass shows up to cause trouble and someone stops him "cold."  Who could it be?  Aunt Dee?  Otis?  Andy?  Or any one of numerous other characters that the audience members will play!  Whoever "did it", expect lot's of mayhem at "Muuurder in Maaaayberry!" 

“Jest” for Fun
