What is a Murder Mystery Evening? A Murder Mystery Evening is an interactive theatrical event. The audience participates as amateur sleuths and suspects as they interact with professional actors playing roles in the murder mystery. Actors are facilitators creating a world of intrigue, mystery and adventure.
Sharpo!® Murder Mystery Evenings and Dinner Mysteries usually begin with a cocktail party or mingling reception. It is during this time that the murder mystery theme, back story and exposition occurs. Leading characters are introduced and actors work the crowd getting the party started and warming up the audience for what comes next...MURDER!
In most cases the victim is shot, stabbed, poisoned, bludgeoned, electrocuted, strangled, or otherwise murdered either in plain sight or just outside of the room. Sharpo!® Murder Mystery Evenings and Dinner Mysteries place great emphasis on visual excitement and will usually have the actual death occur in front of the audience. A police detective arrives quickly and attends to the victim, checks the perimeter, sequesters the audience and begins an investigation as to who committed the murder. Sharpo!® Murder Mystery Evenings and Dinner Mysteries award prizes to those who can solve the murder and determine who is the murderer? How was the murder carried out? (Opportunity and Method) and why did they do it? (Motive)
Most Sharpo!® Murder Mystery Evenings take place over three hours and revolve around a meal. Unlike traditional dinner theatre, where the show takes place immediately following dinner, Sharpo!® Murder Mystery Evenings and Dinner Mysteries unfold before, during and after the dinner. Most Sharpo!® Murder Mystery Evenings and Dinner Mysteries include at least two murders and sometimes three!
Sharpo!® Murder Mystery Evenings and Dinner Mysteries use professional actors and comedians in key roles. These are performers with Prime Time Network Television & Blockbuster Hollywood Movie Credits as well as Broadway Stage experience.
Sharpo!® Murder Mystery Evenings are available for private parties and corporate events all across the USA for parties of 10 to 1000. Sharpo!® Dinner Mysteries are currently playing at the Sportsmen's Lodge in Studio City, CA, The Sidecar Restaurant in Ventura, CA and Nola's Place in Riverside, CA.
