BE A SPECIAL GUEST SUSPECT


Our shows are interactive in several ways. One of the ways is that you may be one of our guest suspects in which an audience member is somehow involved in the crime but not the criminal or the victim (it’s easy: you don’t have to learn lines or anything - just be yourself – but we can’t pick everyone). We just pick people out of the audience who have indicated they want to be a part of the show.

But we can also do something special in advance. That makes you a special guest suspect where we personalize the incriminating evidence. There is no additional cost for this. After you purchase your tickets, send us by email one or two funny pictures, first and last name, and any other funny info of the person from your group (we can only do one) that you want to make a special guest suspect. The person selected should be a good sport and not someone who would feel embarrassed or insulted.

BUT NOTE: we have to reserve the right to make adjustments during the show as needed.

TONIGHT'S SHOW


Thursday May 11 at 7:30pm, THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MURDER, a comedy murder mystery dinner show at PALMER'S AMERICAN GRILLE, 123 Fulton St, Farmingdale, NY ($65 pp*) (516) 420-0609

OUCH!


We just got a bad review on Yelp for an event we just did and we hope we followed Yelp guidelines on a response. Ouch - it hurts.

I thought the show went great but this is true: we just cannot accommodate every request to add on actors or equipment at no cost. And the same goes with last minute requested changes in meal plan, table layout, audience size, etc.  These shows do require a lot of preparation on our part and once we arrive at a location to perform, very few changes can be made. In this case, I was able to do a re-write about a half hour before the event commenced and supplied all the add-ons requested, all at no charge, but I guess it was still not enough.

Oh yes, and when we arrive at a venue to perform, we are all in character - some characters are rude, some are killers, some are crazy, etc. This helps the show and it is disclosed to everyone as soon as they arrive with this notice: "Also, the actors are portraying characters involved in a murder mystery – please bear that in mind when you interact with them - there is adult content and adult situations although there is no obscenity or nudity. WE TRY OUR BEST BUT…there is humor, stage violence and other issues which may not be appropriate for all ages and/or tastes."

That's show biz. Everyone tried their best - 4 actors for over 150 people - and when as actors we knock our hearts out to put on a good show or just a good audition, and then...well you know the rest. Ouch - it hurts.

ANOTHER ACE DETECTIVE


Here's a shout out for BIG AL, our Ace Detective from the Carteret Elks fundraiser show on April 29. Al may have had the wrong answer to the mystery but he was the winner of the 50/50 and gave back half his winnings to charity.

Thanks BIG AL and thanks to all who attended.
