“Finding entertainment for a company holiday party can be an annual challenge.  As the party planner for the Yorktown, VA office of Coca-Cola Enterprises, Inc., I must try to keep the party fresh.  This year we lucked out – Murder Mysteries came to the rescue.  They did all the work and we got to enjoy the interactive show.  The cast was entertaining and had fun with the audience.  They worked the room and kept everyone involved throughout the three hour long performance.  Our employees enjoyed the change of pace and had fun collaborating with co-workers while trying to solve the mystery.  The best part for me was the minimal work!  Murder Mysteries Will Travel brought all their own props and set up everything before we arrived.  Thanks to the crew for making our party a success.” – Coca-Cola Enterprises

“Constellation Energy Group gives “Murder Mysteries Will Travel” four stars!!!!!  We wanted you to know how thoroughly enjoyable your recent performances were for our group.  The players were not only professional, but so convincing that the suspense kept us on the edge of our seats.  Solving the crime and gathering the clues was an entertaining way to spend the evening.  We enthusiastically recommend this fun-filled experience to any group.  We look forward to seeing your future productions.” – Constellation Energy

“I would like to write a short note to thank you again for the outstanding performance by your group at our Murder Mystery Night last month.  Our membership has peppered me with compliments on the event, and asked when we would be doing it again.  They loved the involvement they had in the event, and the professionalism with which your group executes the play.  I look forward to planning more Murder Mystery Nights with you in the near future (I hope you still have some dates open!).  Please thank the rest of your cast again for me, and have a great holiday season.” – Tournament Players Club at Avenel 

“Some time has passed since our January 27, 2004 Sales Meeting dinner/entertainment event, however, I’ve been meaning to tell you that the Rock ‘n Roll Club Murder Mystery event that night was a huge success and enjoyed by all.  The  sales meeting planning team was looking for something entertaining that would promote interaction with all the sales and technical folks (90 people) who attended…We were pleased that your company traveled from the Maryland area with our directions, arrived on time, and were very organized…Your company initiated conversations and promoted interaction which was exactly our goal.  The show was very entertaining and we laughed until our sides hurt…Also, the cost was very reasonable for the value of the entertainment.  The evening turned out to be one of the most memorable events during a sales meeting.  Thanks again for helping us achieve our goals. – DUPONT 

“Your Murder Mysteries Will Travel show is a wonderful thing!  Our trip in August was the first time traveling by train and your group made the trip even more enjoyable.  We didn’t know we had so many talented actors in our crowd.  Your characters were charming, witty and so convincing that our people were just swept right in!  Thank you for a splendid time.  We look forward to hiring your troupe in the near future.” – TOYOTA 

“I wanted to write and let you know what a wonderful time our recent client, AOL, had while at Marriott Ranch.  The client wanted to do something special for their employees during their outing and chose your Murder Mystery Show to liven up dinner.  Marriott Ranch has had Murder Mysteries Will Travel come out to the ranch over the years and it has always been a winner with our clients.  We look forward to doing business with you for years to come.”–Marriott Ranch 

 “Ever since the grand performance you and your group gave at our dinner party, clients and colleagues still rave about that evening.  Frankly, I heard about you and what an entertaining evening to expect, but still was surprised at the absolutely fun evening you provided for my group.  Your cast was a fabulous compliment to an amazing, fun and suspense filled show.  I would be hard-pressed to remember any dinner party we gave that turned out so much fun for everyone.  Be assured, when we plan another occasion when we must be absolutely certain that ‘a good time was had by all,’ we will call.” - R & R Media 

“Honeywell’s sales meeting was complete because of your team’s performance.  At this meeting we had over 100 people of varying likes and dislikes.  I did not have a single person offer anything but praise for the performance.  The performance was entertaining and was absolutely what the group needed to relax and unwind.  I would totally recommend you to anyone and would definitely invite you back to our Annual Sales Meeting.” - Honeywell 

“It was great.  The best team building we ever had…The show was lots of fun and the actors did a great job!!” - American Management Systems 

“Thanks for providing such a spirited production for our holiday staff party.  We thoroughly enjoyed the experience.  Personally, I laughed so much, I cried!  To say the least, the events that occurred had our employees wondering what would happen next!  Having the actors pop up next to our staff kept everyone on the alert.  And we all enjoyed helping to solve the murder based on the various clues from the ‘informers’ and copies of the ‘coded message.’  On behalf of Executive Director and the entire staff, thank you again and best wishes for continued successful productions!”– Housing Authority of Annapolis

“I am writing to formally thank you for helping us to arrange an outstanding staff meeting for the Office of Continuing and Extended Education held at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center here at the University of Maryland.  Your ability to create a customized murder mystery that promoted team building, meshed with our full-day program, and involved all of our staff was no small feat!  And the ‘Snowman Theme’ decorations you provided added a truly fun atmosphere to the day.  Your professional, upbeat demeanor made organizing, planning and implementing the meeting a thoroughly enjoyable experience.  I would highly recommend your services to anyone who is looking to successfully add an exciting twist to their own meeting or event.” (Dean’s comments: I just wanted to thank all of you for your incredibly provocative and creative approach to our quarterly staff meeting.  The setting was perfect, the timing was great, and the ambience just right for the day.  You have made it impossible for the next QSM group to exceed your planning and execution skills.  Of course, you know I thought the notes about each person as the possible ‘perp’ were amazingly artful.  Thank you for starting our holidays with a playful tone."- University of Maryland, Office of Continuing and Extended Education 

“Thank you for a wonderful mystery lunch.  It was truly great!  Believe me, it was the highlight of our day.  Everyone thought it was really interesting.  I was especially impressed with how you had customized parts for all forty of us. The idea of ‘Fun Day’ is to get everyone involved, and this event definitely included everyone.  It gave us a chance to see the talents of our co-workers in a setting outside the office.  I definitely would recommend this to any company who is looking for something that will get all of their employees involved.  Thank you again for making our ‘Fun Day’ a real fun day!” - Quadel Consulting

“On behalf of The Optimist Club, we want to thank you and your ‘staff of stars’ for an outstanding performance during our weekly luncheon held at the Washington Golf and Country Club.  Your company, Murder Mysteries Will Travel, is a unique and entertaining concept.  The Optimist Club members and spouses enjoyed the interactive roles which you assigned them.  Many of the members are already anticipating having your company perform for their organizations and private parties.  Rest assured, Laurie, this is one Optimist luncheon which the members will always remember.  Thank you again for a superb performance!”…Member comments: “The best I have ever attended!…Funny, fast-paced and a perfect way to enhance a meal…The format is a real ‘ice breaker.’  We had non-actors, people we know well who came out of themselves when given a chance to ham it up…The cryptogram was a clever idea, this kept us into the show while eating and solving the cipher…The ultimate climactic finale was very appropriate and ended the caper on a high note entirely appropriate for a not too serious bit of high jinx sleuthing…A cleverly conceived and enjoyable romp…Magnifique, Bravissimo!”-The Optimist Club 

“Thanks so very much for the outstanding job which your group put on at our recent Board Retreat in St. Michael’s.  The performance was outstanding, and our group had a tremendous time as you could certainly tell.  I was amazed at how everyone really got into the performance, and became such ad lib actors.  Hopefully, I will have the opportunity to use your group again at another function.  It was truly a delight, and you are to be commended for doing such an outstanding job.” –  President & CEO, North Arundel Hospital 

“I want to thank you and your cast for a fantastic Murder Mystery!  Our Christmas party was the best we ever had as a result of your creative and entertaining production.  All of our guests commented on how enjoyable the show was and particularly how well your cast interacted with all of the guests the entire evening.  All of you were hysterical!  We had participated in Murder Mysteries at other venues in the past, but it was nothing like how you personalized it for our group.  You are truly a professional and the energy you have for creating an ‘event’ was clearly evident.  The show itself was very creative, and allowed for so much audience participation…we loved it!  I cannot recommend you and your productions enough!  You were flexible with our vision of the evening, and it was clear that you wanted the party to be as successful as we did.  Thanks again for a most unforgettable evening!  You all are the BEST!” - TMG Marketing Communications 

“Our fundraiser is now history, but I would be remiss indeed, if I did not tell you how pleased we were with your fine presentation.  You did everything you said you would, and a lot more!  The actors and actresses were professional and well cast.  Getting the audience to participate was masterfully done.  It was a fun evening all around and the Alzheimer’s Association will benefit from our work and yours.  Thank you for a fine effort!” – Engleberg-Korman Charitable Foundation, Inc.

“I want to thank you again for such a delightful afternoon!  Murder Mysteries Will Travel puts on quite a show and everyone had such a good time.  I have heard from numerous people that this was the best team building offsite in our company’s history and I agree.  It was staged beautifully, bringing in just enough people to make it work but not so many that we gave away the secrets.  We have some VERY sharp people in this group and I am amazed that we pulled it off and no one really suspected what was going on.  Kudos to you and your team for that.  I have told many people about the wonderful day we had and would be happy to be a reference at any time.  It’s so hard to find something that everyone will enjoy, that is affordable, and that is so unique.  Murder Mysteries Will Travel provides just that solution for companies or groups looking for fun!  Also, it was delightful working with you.  You are such a professional, you didn’t miss a beat, which is surely helpful for the party planner – me – to have confidence that everything is covered on the entertainment aspect.  Thank you again for a terrific experience!! – Brainbench, Inc. 

“Thank you so much for the wonderful mystery event that you and your staff provided for our holiday party this year.  Everyone enjoyed “playing along” with the actors and working out the clues.  Keeping everyone engaged and participating was no small feat, but your group did a great job and everyone loved the drop-by table visits from ‘Georgia.’  The comments have all been positive.  Thanks again for your help and we hope to work with you again in the future.” – Foulger-Pratt Companies

“Once again, Bill and I would like thank you and your staff, Murder Mysteries Will Travel performers for a wonderful performance last Sunday at our company Christmas party.  Everyone had an excellent time and we were told over and over again that it was the best Christmas party we have had yet.  Some even said it was the best party they have ever been to.  Anyway, we will certainly keep you in mind for future gatherings of all kinds.  – Aquia Plumbing

“The show was a huge success!  Thank you for your efforts in helping to make our afternoon cruise on ‘The Nighthawk’ different and exciting.  My staff thoroughly enjoyed the experience (especially the part where our boss gets killed!)  Your idea to pre-assign characters worked well.  The actors had a great ability to question, and get the participants involved - really involved.  It was a great interactive performance.  Although our cruise took place in the middle of a heat wave, the show provided us with a ‘cool’ afternoon. Thanks again.”–Orleans Home Builders 

“I wanted to take a moment to thank you and your troupe for the wonderful performance at our National Leadership Conference.  By Tuesday night our attendees were worn out, having spent the day on Capitol Hill, and ready to just go to bed.  Your group not only woke them up, but got them re-energized and ready to have fun.  The group that was ready to go back to their rooms at 7:00 p.m., was up and socializing past midnight.  Bravo!  I’d also like to commend you and your group on your professionalism both before the show and onsite.  You were flexible with time changes and great with directing the hotel staff.  You made my job very easy.  Once again, thank you.  I hope we have the opportunity to work again in the future.” – National Assn of Insurance and Financial Advisors 

“Thank you for such a wonderful performance for our holiday party.  Everyone had a great time!  I can’t believe how involved everyone was – especially our very quiet employees.  It was truly an event to remember.  Not only did we get to do something for our employees, but we also did some teambuilding (and I don’t think anyone realized it!)” – Curry’s Auto Service, Inc. 

“On behalf of everyone, I wanted to thank you for the truly outstanding job done by Murder Mysteries Will Travel at our holiday party for the NASE Field Services. It was a big hit and by far the best party we have ever had! The show was hilarious, and the actors did a super job of getting people involved.  Plus, you really went the extra mile in providing the decorations to make the place so festive.  I would highly recommend your group to anyone looking for a creative way to get people to interact and have a lot of fun!  I know we're looking forward to doing it again.  Best wishes for a happy holiday, and thanks again for all you did!” – National Association for the Self-Employed 

“Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how great the murder mystery you put on for our company holiday party on December 14^th went.  Everyone had a blast and continues to talk about that night.  The undercover actor did a fabulous job – not one person suspected her.  A job well done by all!  I would recommend your company and would use you again!” – Infostructures, Inc.

“The show was a great success and we hope that because of its popularity we can have another production in the future.  Everyone in attendance had a terrific time and nothing but positive comments about the production company and the friendliness of their staff.  Some expressed interest in attending future productions.  Laurie, it was a pleasure to work with you as you conducted yourself in a very professional manner.  The set up and break down went very smoothly.  The actors were very prompt and one could tell they loved what they do and do it with passion and dedication.  Thank you to Laurie, and to your staff, for a wonderful production.  We hope we are able to work with you again in the future.” – Leesburg Parks & Recreation

“Thank you for a fabulous performance which was held during on annual Client Appreciation event last evening.  This was the first time we have ever had a murder mystery event and I must say, it was very well received.  As the drama unfolded and everyone began discussing what was happening, it served as a natural icebreaker stimulating conversation at each table.  The involvement of the audience as informants, game show participants and possible suspects kept everyone involved and entertained.  Throughout the evening, there was lots of laughter and audience participation, as all had a good time!  Again, thank you for an entertaining evening of Murder, Mystery and Mayhem!” – Saunders Financial Solutions 

“I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you how much our company enjoyed your murder mystery group at our holiday party.  Because our party was less than a success the previous year, I had a large task ahead of me in making this year’s party as much fun as possible.  The employee base I had to please was tough and varied.  The play you presented for us was perfect!  I selected the “hardest” to please to participate and it paid off!  People were talking about it for a long time after the party was long over.  Your entire crew did a superb job and thanks for making the whole planning process go so smoothly!” - The Care of Trees

“Many  thanks to Murder Mysteries Will Travel for giving us such a wonderful experience at our Christmas luncheon.  You changed thirty reluctant, apprehensive “I don’t want to do this” staff into a happy, relaxed, laughing group who thoroughly enjoyed themselves.  It was also interesting to see some of the hidden “acting talent” emerge during some staff performances!!  The Murder Mysteries Will Travel actors were fabulous – the play well scripted and it was also a pleasure working with you during the development of the event.  We would highly recommend you and your team to anyone wanting to have a unique and enjoyable company or private function.” – Trimark Corporation 

“I just want to take a minute of your time to let you know we thoroughly enjoyed the ‘Murder Mystery Show’ you performed at Bev’s birthday party last Saturday!  The interaction by all who attended was hilarious.  Your talent for bringing the characters to life through your staff and our group of non-actors was really so much fun.  I would not hesitate to have another Theme Party hosted by your company!” – Oak Ridge, Inc. 

“I just wanted to thank you and your crew for making our holiday party so exciting!  We received nothing but positive comments about your show.  Originally, we thought it would be difficult to involve our staff accountants, but it was amazing how easily they got into their roles and acted the parts.  Our holiday party was a success thanks to the cast of Murder Mysteries Will Travel.  Thank you for working with us to make it that way!” –Rosen, Sapperstein & Friedlander 

“Murder Mysteries Will Travel will also entertain you!  Our customers will be talking about this group of talented performers for a long time.  Even with a large group of 150 guests, Laurie Dunlap and company commanded the room and peaked the interest of our top customers at our appreciation dinner.  They kept us wondering what would happen next, as we tried to solve the mystery that unfolded before us.  I highly recommend “Murder Mysteries Will Travel” to anyone interested in hiring top talent to surprise and delight any size group for any occasion!” – Ward Lumber

“I have been blessed with the opportunity to experience Laurie Dunlap and Murder Mysteries Will Travel from both ends of the performance.  A few years ago I attended a dinner and unwittingly participated in the evening’s events.  It was such a blast I held on to her card hoping I could utilize her services later.  This year was my company’s first annual Christmas party.  I did not want to spend a boring evening standing around listening to slow classical music mindlessly chitchatting like so many other parties we have all attended.  I wanted my guests to experience an exciting evening they would talk about for years to come.  Laurie Dunlap and Murder Mysteries Will Travel provided a great service to me and my guests.  Laurie was prepared for all of the challenges presented to her and even came to the site ahead of time to map everything out and review the music and flow for the party.  Everyone had an opportunity to participate in the show.  We all had a wonderful time trying to figure out who done it!  Some of the guests were so into their characters they carried on the charades well after the show had ended.  My only regret is that I did not have a camcorder!  Laurie was so charming and really made our party fabulous.  She and her crew are great actors and I recommend her to anyone looking for something better for their work and family functions.” - FamilyLender, Inc.  

“I want to sincerely thank you and the entire Murder Mysteries Will Travel cast for providing us with one of the most enjoyable company events we’ve ever had!  It’s been almost 2 weeks now, and the staff is still fondly reminiscing about the day.  We were very impressed by the professionalism of the actors, and the fact that they were able to intermingle with all of us throughout the event made it so much fun!  Best of all, it proved to be a great ‘exercise’ in team-building, and enabled all of us the chance to interact with folks within our company that we don’t normally work with on a day to day basis.  You are a very talented lady, and have truly created a unique and creative form of entertainment!  Please feel free to add us to your list of referrals…we would gladly and highly recommend Murder Mysteries Will Travel to anyone out there! – Pennysaver Group, Inc. 

“I wanted to take a moment to express the appreciation of the Division of Management Support Services for a fabulous performance.  As this event was to recognize the dedication of our staff, we had hoped to make it a memorable happening.  Your group far surpassed our expectations.  Our staff thoroughly enjoyed the event and the performance which was the central focus.  As the coordinator, I appreciated your professionalism, reliability, and flexibility with both me and the facility staff.  We have received so much positive feedback from our staff, with some comments as simple as it was fun to those expressing it was the best event we had ever had.  I sincerely appreciate the outstanding job that you and your fellow actors did for us.” – Delaware Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families

RETIREMENT COMMUNITY - “As a Program Coordinator for a retirement community, specifically for assisted living, I continue to search for unique and interesting ways to enhance the lives of our aging residents.  Our National Assisted Living Week celebrations were fast approaching in September of 2005 and I knew that I wanted to provide our residents with a fun filled, exciting week.  In searching the internet for something special to plan for our festivities, I ran across the website for Murder Mysteries Will Travel.  I thought that it would be a wonderful idea to provide a Murder Mystery Luncheon.  I contacted Laurie Dunlap and within minutes, I had a confirmed performance date.  Laurie was a sheer pleasure to work with!  I had our own dietary department provide lunch and Laurie and her theater group provided a hysterical, interactive murder mystery.  We had fifty residents at various ages present for the luncheon.  They were totally captivated and entertained.  Laurie and her thespians totally catered to our residents and made that day very special for everyone!  For weeks after the performance, the residents continued to talk about the fun they had at the Murder Mystery Luncheon.  I would gladly welcome Laurie and her group back and would highly recommend Murder Mysteries Will Travel for any event.” – Greenspring Village   

WEDDING REHEARSAL DINNER SHOW   "I want to thank you for a memorable, entertaining, interactive (more than I ever would have thought possible), 'putting us in the mood' evening.  Your acting, singing, coordinating, and people skills are impeccable.  You may have noticed, even our minister was really getting into it.  So much thought, detail and personalization seemed to go into the performance.  The music, the mystery, the murder kept us all masterfully entertained and loosened up for the next day (wedding).  Thank you again for the way you put your whole heart and soul into your work.  I feel as though we became friends over these past few months.  We were so fortunate to find you and wish you lots of luck as you continue providing joy and entertainment to others." - Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd (Parents of Groom)

 STUDENT GROUPS

“Murder Mysteries Will Travel has enchanted another school group of mine… after the trip the teachers tell me that’s all they talk about to the students. Schools I take to Washington want to make sure I add this to their itinerary. Even the chaperones that come with the group want to know if  Murder Mysteries Will Travel is going to be included in the trip. I recommend this not only to student groups but to any age group. The way you keep everyone involved and entertained for over two hours is great. Keep up the good work.” - Miami World Travel

 “I just wanted to thank you and your group for a wonderful evening…The murder mystery worked out perfectly. Your group was great! They had the students involved in the plot immediately and our students really got into it! The story line was perfect for a group of high school students and the different twists and turns had the students really guessing ‘who done it.’ Please tell you’re your group we all thank them for making the last night of our band trip so enjoyable!” - Quakertown High School Band 

“I wanted to express my thanks for the murder mystery production you and your staff performed at Frostburg State University. The entire audience has had nothing but praise for the program and they can’t wait for our next murder mystery. From the first time I contacted you until the end of the performance, I have had an excellent experience with you and your company. You were so willing to work with our school and were very understanding of our different policies and requirements when visiting a state school. Also, your new motto should be similar to the old postmaster song - through rain, sleet, hail and snow, the murder mystery must be delivered. Thank you again for all the work you and your actors did to make the show a hit. We had a sold out performance!” - Frostburg State University  

"Murder Mysteries Will Travel came and performed at our college.  Houghton College is a Christian Liberal Arts College in the rural setting of Houghton, New York.  The Campus Activities Board hosts events each month and was responsible for the hiring of Murder Mysteries Will Travel and wanted to say what a fantastic evening they created.  The event was sold out and everyone in attendance raved about what a great time they had.  All of us here at Houghton were blown away by the performances and wonderful entertainment Murder Mysteries Will Travel provided.  It made for one of our most wonderful evenings." - Houghton College

MILITARY BASES and MILITARY COLLEGES

“Our organization had the wonderful pleasure of being entertained by the group Murder Mysteries Will Travel.  Our members and their spouses had a wonderful time!  Laurie Dunlap and her cast performed superbly and kept us all on the edges of our seats.  I personally worked with Ms. Dunlap for almost a year to coordinate this event.  She and her group were very accommodating to the special needs/requirements of our organization.  We look forward to having Murder Mysteries return for a repeat performance and potentially open the performance to the entire Dover Air Force Base Community, not just our specific group.  I would highly recommend Murder Mysteries Will Travel for an evening of delightful entertainment.” – Dover Air Force Base Officers’ Spouses’ Club

“Thank you so much for the fabulous show that you put on for us.  The cadets had a great time interacting with your actors and got to have a bit of fun themselves on stage.  With the military background of our cadets, they normally do not get the chance to act out and have fun in front of others.  You gave the cadets something they needed – a light-hearted and fun-filled evening.  Y’all were fabulous!  Murder Mysteries Will Travel was a professional, organized, and most of all, a pleasure to work with.  Should anyone ask who I would recommend for a dinner theatre, you will be my only suggestion.  Thank you for providing us with such a wonderful evening.”–The Citadel, Military College of S.

“Murder Mysteries Will Travel performed at the Indian Head Military Base for military housing families and they were phenomenal!  The actors were fun, exciting, and really engaged the audience.  There were residents in the audience from ages 5 up to 50 and they all enjoyed themselves.  The play was engaging from start to finish.  I have recommended that the other bases hire Laurie and her team so that other military residents can also experience a wonderful theatrical production during their tour of duty.” – Lincoln Military Housing

 “I had to take a moment and let you know how much fun we had when your group arrived.  As you are aware, we live in a very remote, isolated area here on the Eastern Shore.  Sometimes, it’s a little challenging to come up with new ideas for entertainment.  I am so glad we ran across Murder Mysteries Will Travel!  From the Commanding Officer of the Navy base to the Chamber of Commerce for Chincoteague in attendance, there wasn’t a dull moment while we tried to figure out “whodunit.”  In today’s hectic lifestyle, it sure was nice to put everything on hold, and just escape for a couple of hours.  Your actors and actresses were top notch, your program was unforgettable, and I am already receiving phone calls asking me when the next one is!  Thanks again for making our fundraiser such a success in the community!” – Wallops Island Chief Petty Officers Association

PRIVATE PARTIES

“I cannot thank you enough!!  My husband’s birthday party was a success and you all had a part in that!  Every one of my 31 guests enjoyed the show so much and really had a great time with your actors.  They were excellent in all their roles and really hammed it up!!!  I also enjoyed participating and my guests were very entertained!!!  They really loved solving the mystery and all thought they were right!!!!!  Thank you.  Your company is wonderful, you deserve all your success!!!!  It was a pleasure working with you. – Mrs. D. Mele (Note: Exclamation quotes are from client – No kidding!!!!) 

“I just wanted to write and thank you and your cast for making my husband’s 50^th birthday so very memorable.  The guests were beyond entertained – they were totally involved…and loved every second!  Not only was the show fantastic, but you made it all so easy for me.  Having the show in my home was a breeze thanks to you! – V. James-Miller 

 “I thought I would drop you a line to let you know what a wonderful time I had at the murder mystery party, organized by your company, in my home in January.  None of my guests had been to a mystery party before and everyone enjoyed themselves!  We will definitely call on you again.  It would be fun to get a different group of people together for another evening of mystery, intrigue and laughter. You guys are awesome!” – M. Turner, M.D. 

“What a great party!  Thanks so much for putting on such a fun show for my birthday.  Everyone had a “blast” trying to guess the solution to the crime.  It was especially perfect to have a political theme when so many of us work in that field (no wonder they were all such hams, eh?)  Thanks again.” - C. Kagan, Maryland Legislator

“Thank you so much for a FABULOUS show.  It was absolutely a blast.  Many of the ladies from the tea party called me later that evening to say what a WONDERFUL time they had.  What was so amazing was to see each person really get into character and play he role as if it were written just for them.  The ad libs just made it all the more personable and funny.  All of the ladies at the tea party said that it was the best tea party yet.  Kudos to you and your team for an OUTSTANDING performance!” – S. Kaiser

“Hats Off!!! I just wanted to drop a personal note to you to say how much my family, friends, and I enjoyed the surprise 30th Birthday Party you hosted for my wife. Your support for me as a client regarding the show, as well as the facility and the dinner were invaluable.  I am certain, through no small amount of feedback, that everyone who attended will remember the party for many years to come. It was certainly comforting to have your support for the 18 months that I spent trying to pull everything together. Thanks for never being too busy, or annoyed to answer my many questions or calm my apprehensions. You're the best!” – M. Fountaine

“Murder Mysteries planned a FANTASTIC party for my 9 year old!  It was geared personally to her interests and kept over 40 children occupied for a two hour party.  The party was a game show about popular children’s movies during which the grand prize disappeared.  The kids loved being finger printed and trying to figure out who stole the prize.  It was a real hoot!!  It was an experience that no one will ever forget.” – S. Schneeman
