AUDITIONS NEXT SUNDAY DECEMBER 16



I have a few time slots open so this is for all my actor friends (or those non-actor friends with friends who are actors).


I am holding auditions (no call backs, I can cast from the audition) next Sunday December 16 between 11 and 3pm at:

Shetler Studios
244 West 54th Street,
Room 1207
New York, NY 10019

They will be in 10 minute time slots: email me back with desired time (first come, first serve), we'll talk, a brief improv, a few bars of a song (I'll have a small sound system if you want to plug in your ipod or phone for back up) and we'll see where and when you can fit in. Bring a P&R too please.

BUT...to get a time slot, I first need you to submit immediately your P&R and a link to your singing demos (YouTube, etc.). This was original casting notice from Backstage:

"Seeking all types, especially culturally diverse actors, for The Killing Kompany's comedy mystery dinner theater shows, which are performed for private events throughout the country. Seeking actors who can do improv and are excellent singers and dancers. Pay ranges from $115-$200 per event and are 99.9 percent improv."

I have only a few slots open.



CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU


Our winner last night at The Views at Mt. Fuji was Angel V. Gines and thank you to our wonderful holiday audience.

PRIVATE EVENTS



We have several in December and if you have a holiday or year end party coming up, try us.

Private events start at $1000+. 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, FIOS TV and MSG Networks - Metro TV. Also you’ll find a link to copies of various newspaper articles and letters of references.

The general format of a private event could be as follows – but we can work with any food plan and virtually any venue including your home:

1. The show will be divided into acts. During the prologue (group coming in), actors will make themselves known to the audience (the actors will be the victims, suspects, the criminal, police, etc.).

2. The police will ask the audience to sit down and the first act will take place: there will be a crime of your choosing which will take place, 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. There will be breaks and more acts – usually it is a course meal break but it can be a dance break or otherwise; there will be more action, and more evidence will be revealed, and more audience members will be named in certain items of evidence. Usually by the time of the final meal break, The police will announce that the ballots may now be filled out as the audience tries to guess the identity of the criminal.

4. The ballots are collected. Then the final act takes place: the police make their final summation, the criminal is revealed, arrested, etc. 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 they are dining, the actors are seated with the audience and mingling with them. As we stated above, we also play background and dance music (although we are not professional DJ's, we do have all sorts of dance music) . Because our script will be custom written, each show will be brand new and we can also accommodate any speeches or announcements that you would like to take place during the event.

ANOTHER CHOICE FOR BLACK FRIDAY - GIFT CERTIFICATES TO OUR SHOWS



Is a comedy murder mystery dinner show an appropriate holiday gift? Of course it is.

And for our shows, gift certificates are available. But because each restaurant has a different ticket price, you can only receive a gift certificate from that restaurant which will be good for that restaurant only. It's purchased from the restaurant you chose.

Information on all of our current open to the public shows can be found at our Schedule of Shows page - just click on this link, or if the link does not work, cut and paste it into your browser:

IT WAS 25 YEARS AGO TODAY....


...that The Killing Kompany began to play. The first show, starring myself, Connie Britton, Susan Aston, Mario Mendozza and Valorie Nicore was in Akron, Ohio.

So thanks for all the birthday greetings, thanks to all of the great actors I have worked with all these years, and of course, thanks to the thousands and thousands and thousands who have attended our shows - without you, there would be no us.
