Mystery Dinner Theatre - RECIPE FOR SUCCESS |
|||
|
NoTechTheatre.com
currently offers five sparking,
farcical, audience participation mystery dinner theatre plays.
These are NOT loose inprov scenerios! Our plays are fully scripted plays that perform in and among the audience members; these plays invite carefully controlled audience participation. The successful production of our plays requires a disciplined and carefully executed rehearsal period, just like the successful production of other plays. |
|||
|
|
|||
|
Our Mystery Dinner Theatre Plays are FULLY SCRIPTED |
|||
| Consistency equals
success! Unlike many other murder mysteries, all
dialogue, action, and audience involvement in our plays is very
carefully planned and practiced. Two hours of comedic improvisation with audience members of varying ages and interests can be, at best, a hit and miss performance.... particularly with young or inexperienced performers. |
|||
| NoTechTheatre.com murder mysteries anticipate audiences responses, maximize audience participation, and offer a dazzling evening of silliness and murder that is consistently high energy, consistently entertaining, consistently successful! | |||
|
Our Murder Mysteries go anywhere anytime! No Tech Required! |
|
||
| NoTechTheatre.com murder mysteries easily adapt to any kind of performance space. No specific stage or performance area is needed..... in fact.... our plays are most effective when performed in and among the audience members. Constant and close contact between the performers and audience members keep the action and dialogue spontaneous and connected. The plays never stop and wait for audience members to return to their seats after the performers have "messed with 'em." | |||
|
Where can our Murder Mysteries be best performed? |
|||
| Almost anywhere! School cafeterias for students or parents; private dining rooms at local restaurants; clubhouses at retirement communities; fellowship halls at churches; meeting rooms at local hotels. | |||
| Lights? Scenery? Costumes? Props? Absolutely NOT! | |||
|
Our plays are written to go anywhere and succeed beautifully without scenery, special costumes, or special lighting. Props for these shows are minimal; the microphones are your call. How big is the room? How effectively do your performers vocally project? |
|||
| So What is the "Rating" on these plays? | |||
|
G - Great for family audiences |
|||
|
Profanity? - Absolutely not! |
|||
|
Sex? - Well, we do tease the audience members a bit! |
|||
|
Violence? - Well, it is a murder mystery.... do we see the deed? No! |
|||
|
What if I don't want to serve a meal? Will the plays still work? |
|||
|
With food; without food, full meal; maybe only dessert... the choice is yours. The plays are wonderfully engaging and entertaining with or without food. When ordering the scripts, however, please specify whether or not your production will include a meal. Slight alterations in the words and actions tailor the production to your special occasion. |
|||
| Murder Mysteries - The Perfect Fund Raising Tool | |||
|
Cast it, rehearse it, and perform it! You don't need a set; just pull the costumes from your closets; you don't even need a venue. Have the interested organization arrange for their own catered meal. Charge the organization a flat fee for the performance. The organization sells their own tickets to their own members at their own price. You get your fee; they keep the profit! The cast just shows up and performs the show. No tech costs, facilities rentals, advertising costs! Maximum revenues with minimum investment. Everyone makes money....plus everyone banks a wonderful memorable evening of theatre! |

Feed Back from Recent Productions of Wedding Song |

| "Our
dinner theatre was a HUGE success! We sold out for our
first weekend and oversold for the second weekend (having to
limit numbers of large groups.) The audience loved the
show, and some of them really got into it with the questions and
trying to determine the murderer. The audience really
responded to the interaction with the cast as guests of the
wedding. I believe everyone involved had a wonderful time.
My cast, stage manager, and I all loved the show, we all had a
blast! We've been receiving calls asking for the next
dinner theatre production!" Alexis Drago |
