YOUR SAFETY MESSAGE FOR SATURDAY'S SHOW AT DILETTOS

Hello! We want you to have fun but there are some rules and guidelines! RULE 1: Tonight you may be one of our guest suspects (it’s easy: you don’t have to learn lines or anything - just be yourself – but we can’t pick everyone). IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO PARTICIPATE, LET THE “POLICE” KNOW IMMEDIATELY!  RULE 2: THERE WILL BE ACTION SCENES AND INTERACTIVE EVENTS HAPPENING AND YOU CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN THE ACTION SCENES (don’t touch, grab or otherwise interfere with any of the actors, props, waitstaff or other audience members)! RULE 3: STAGE PROP GUNS WILL BE USED IN THIS PERFORMANCE WHICH MEANS THERE MIGHT BE LOUD GUN SHOTS AND SOMETIMES THESE GUNS CAN EMIT SPARKS (hold your ears, be careful and stay away from them)! RULE 4: For safety and stage reasons, we halt food and drink service during certain scenes (it won’t be long so thanks for your patience).   RULE 5: BECAUSE SOME OF THE ACTION SCENES AND INTERACTIVE EVENTS HAPPEN RIGHT NEXT TO YOU, THERE ARE SOME RISKS YOU ASSUME WHEN YOU ATTEND THESE SHOWS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ASSUMING THESE RISKS, LET THE “POLICE” KNOW IMMEDIATELY!  RULE 6: The show is being brought to you by the organization, restaurant or individual sponsoring this event.

HOW TO BE A SPECIAL GUEST SUSPECT?

We make audience members "guest suspects" but we can also do something special for audience members who want a special "item of evidence" made for them.

It's simple, after you purchase your tickets for a show, email us a funny picture, first and last name, and one or two sentences about some fun information on the person from your group that you want to make a special guest suspect.

SHOWS FOR 2015 AT THE VIEWS AT MT. FUJI IN HILLBURN

This weekend we worked with The Views At Mt. Fuji in Hillburn to set dates for shows in 2015 and we will post them shortly.

The Views At Mt. Fuji has about 20 wonderful reviews on Google including one that talks about our private shows:

"Every year our company has an annual meeting and celebrates afterwards with a dinner event. This year we chose the Views at Mt. Fuji and everything was perfect….thanks to Bruce! The place was wonderful, the food was delicious, and views were stunning. We also had a murder mystery event (Bruce’s suggestion) that was very entertaining! Everyone raved about this awesome event. I would highly recommend the Views at Mt. Fuji for any event. Thank you so much Bruce!"

INTERESTED IN A PRIVATE EVENT?

For over 20 years, we have performed throughout the country, from coast to coast, for major corporations, casinos, resorts, birthdays, fund-raisers, anniversaries, rehearsal dinners, bar/bat mitzvahs, sweet sixteen's, childrens’ parties...you name it ! What makes us stand out from the others is that we create a new show each time. That’s right, each show is different, having been written and created for that performance only. And we can create shows based upon all sorts of themes, no matter what, each show is unique for our audience, no one ever sees the same show twice. But all our events have this in common: with each show, professional Broadway, TV and film actors are mixed in with the audience and evidence is created in which you are implicated as suspects. And prizes are awarded to the winner who can solve the crime!

Please check out our web site at www.killingkompany.com. There are links on our home page to view videos of our TV appearances on CNN (which will give you an idea of what our corporate shows are like) and on MSG Networks - Metro TV (which will give you an idea of what our open to the public shows are like). Also you’ll find a link to copies of various newspaper articles, letters of references and a list of our open to the public shows based in the NYC/LI/NY area with prices starting at $45 per person, as well as audience comments to our public shows.

The general format of an evening show would be as follows:

1.The show will be divided into four acts, assuming you are having a 4 course sit-down dinner. During the prologue (cocktail party and appetizers), actors will make themselves known to the audience (they will be the victims, suspects, the criminal, police, etc.).

2. After the cocktail party, the police will ask the audience to sit down and the first act will take place: there will be a crime where one of the characters is killed or wounded, the police take over and evidence will be revealed (evidence will always lead the audience to the real criminal among them and to themselves as guest suspects).

3. The salad is served and music will be played while the audience is dining. Then the second act takes place: there will be more action, and more evidence will be revealed, and more audience members will be named in certain items of evidence.

4. The main course is served and music will be played while the audience is dining. Then the third act takes place: there will probably be a final crime and all the final evidence will be revealed. The police will announce that the ballots may now be filled out as the audience tries to guess the identity of the criminal.

5. The dessert is served and the ballots are collected. Then the final act takes place: the police make their final summation, the criminal is revealed, there will be a shoot out and then the cast is introduced and prizes are awarded.

The show will be "theatre-in-the-round" - we will work out with you the best proper floor plan for the evening. And while you are dining, the actors are seated with you and mingling with you. We will also play background and dance music for you. Because our script will be custom written for you, each show will be brand new.

And if you don't want a murder mystery, we have dozens and dozens of other types of interactive shows, like game shows and wedding shows..just click on this link:
