TIME TO START LOOKING....

....for a topical plot line for our next public show. We all ready did the Mel Gibson story last week, what should it be August 14 - Snooki? Lindsay Lohan and rehab? Something new will pop up soon - time wounds all heals.

AUGUST 5 SHOW OUT TO CAST

And actually it is a cast of two, myself and one other. Since our prices are based on the number of actors hired, we can do small budget shows. And they are just as much fun as a larger cast show - and the funny thing is....audience members may still not solve it - but they do come close.

GUEST SUSPECTS.

And a reminder: at our public shows, we can make someone from your party a "guest suspect". After you purchase your tickets, email us back so we can get the information from you. Usually, we ask for you to send us by email a funny picture, first and last name, and any other funny info of the person from your group that you want us to make a special guest suspect.

AND THE WRITING BEGINS.....

on our August 5 show, which is for a law firm.

Saturday August 14 at 8:00pm, MURDER AT THE SUMMER BALL!, a comedy murder mystery dinner show at THE VIEWS AT MT. FUJI, Route 17, Hillburn, NY ($65 pp includes complimentary drink and continental food served) (845) 357-5501

FUJI, Route 17, Hillburn, NY ($65 pp includes complimentary drink and continental food served) (845) 357-5501

BACK TO NY!

For the past week, I've been out of town: I have a summer cottage in Pittsfield, Mass. on Pontoosuc Lake. In fact, we have performed here and in the area and a lot of scripts, files, etc. are stored here. So many times during the summer, I am working up here...but today, it is back to NY - shows on July 10, July 14 and July 17 and I have to write the July 24th show!

SO MANY LISTINGS....

There are so many restaurant/theatre websites that list us with old information and it is truly a job to update these listings. But as we posted earlier, since 2002, our office address is not in Forest Hills, NY but in Levittown, NY - the restaurants we perform in are located in NYC, Long Island and Rockland County and we perform for private events around the country.

ON A ROLL!

Just sent out the July 14th script to the cast, finished the July 17th script and now on to the July 24th script....now what funny thing is happening in the news?

IT'S A HOLIDAY FOR SOME, WORK FOR OTHERS.

We're one of the others as we near completion of our July 17 show - MURDER AT THE IRISH SWEEPSTAKES, a benefit show for the Levittown Kiwanis.

ANOTHER SHOW DONE.

For a private event on July 14. Two down this month, two to go.

HINTS ON JULY 10 SHOW

Here's the cast: Prudence Holmes, Darin Chumbly, Laura Witwer, Kaitlin Monte, Jon Avner and the plot centers on Detroit Tiger's Armando Galarraga...but don't tell anyone if anyone is reading this.

PLOT FINISHED!

Yes - the plot for July 10th show is complete and a preliminary script will be going out to the cast later on today.
