Our Private Shows
Alma Murder -
A Killer Class Reunion
Welcome back, students!
The Alumni of Mellencamp Sr. High have learned that their old Alma Mater is soon to be demolished. To show their school spirit, they’ve decided to throw one last all-class reunion.
Get together with long absent friends and classmates. Find out whatever happened to that old flame. Stroll down memory lane, or tear it up on the dance floor.
So, come on, Cougars, let’s hear it for the old gold and blue! It’s guaranteed to be the party of a lifetime…if you live that long!
The Private EYE
in ‘TEAM’
Alexander Van der Anderson has been murdered – and by a member of his own family! Detective Roland Hardway is going to need your help to crack the case! But be careful, because someone in your group is a killer!
Our most interactive show, “The Private EYE in TEAM” consists of just 3 actors, and is specially designed for small groups with a focus on fun and teamwork. Unlike our other shows, there is no “right” solution. Each team creates a possible ending, and the group votes on which one they like the best (or find the funniest). It's half comedy show, half game and a whole lot of fun.
I’ll be Homicidal
for Christmas
It’s December 23rd, 1978.
Albee Humphrey used to be a household name, but these days his star is fading. He’s got one last shot at his big comeback – with a network televised Christmas special. There’s celebrity guests, variety acts, and there’s even rumors of a reunion with his former comedy partner – who he hasn’t spoken to in 20 years. He’ll be using members of his studio audience as extras, so you may even find yourself getting in on the act!
This is his last chance to be a star again. He’ll either make it back on top…or die trying!
