5:30PM:  Setup & sound crews arrive.

7:00PM:  Actors greet & mingle with dinner guests in character for a half hour, telling the guests about themselves and other characters.

7:30PM:  Actors' microphones go live and they perform the opening scene.

7:45PM:  After the opening scene, characters invite guests to proceed to the buffet or to enjoy their dinner (If a sit down dinner, salad is usually pre-set or served before 7:30PM). As the guests enjoy their dinner, the characters of the mystery eat alongside them and converse, dropping various hints about the mystery throughout the meal.

As dessert is served, the theatrics continue through singing, dancing and comedy. Clues, needed to solve the mystery, are mixed into the dialogue and actions of every character through out the performance.

When the comedy "murder" happens, our guests become detectives and are asked to help solve the mystery. Additional clues are provided to help them get started in the sleuthing. Our guests use the clues and others they've gathered during the show to interrogate the suspects -- all surviving characters of the mystery. By deciphering the clues the guests formulate a theory in hopes to answer three vital questions: Who was the murderer? How was it done? And, what was the motive?

After 20 minutes of sleuthing, the guests turn in their answer forms and the actors then perform the final scene, a comical finale that explains who did it, what the motive was, and how it was done. Guests who answer these questions correctly are eligible to win prizes!

9:30PM:  End of performance. Exact ending time depends upon how quickly the dinner portion of the evening goes.

We recommend that if there is any business to be conducted (at a company party) that it be done after the mystery is over and the prizes have been awarded. Buy tickets for a show today!
