What we’re about
Ordinary day. Nice venue. But something has gone terribly wrong. Somebody has been found dead. Some body has been discovered. Murdered? The police are stumped, suspicions are everywhere, clues abound ... and suddenly there’s a twist -- and the case suddenly points in a new and very unexpected direction! -- Join us as we host murder mysteries and comedy shows around Loudoun County, VA and surrounding areas in a search for clues to uncover whodunit.
Some will be mystery adventures where you are the characters. Some will be murder mysteries with lots of audience participation as you watch a "mostly" scripted show. Some murder mysteries are presented to you as dinner theatre in some awesome venues with delicious food. Still others are comedies and cabarets where we all just appreciate the music and laughter. In any case, we have a lot of FUN! We hope you'll join us.

### Murder by the Numbers
Written and Directed by Terry Smith
Produced by Jerri Wiseman
Cast: Betsy Hansen, Ilan Komrad
Step into the glamour and grit of 1960s Vegas with Murder by the Numbers. Wayne Kerr has just released his thrilling new book. Join us for an unforgettable night as the celebrated author himself takes center stage, sharing the inspiration behind his gripping tale of chance, intrigue, and betrayal. But the real mystery begins when Wayne’s fans turn out to be more interested in murder than mere autographs. Is this just a clever publicity stunt, or is the story bleeding into real life? Roll the dice and find out—this is one event where the stakes couldn’t be higher. Don’t miss your chance to witness the mystery unfold!**
All guests are encouraged to dress up for the mystery, if you are so inclined. Dress to the nines in your most glamourous Vegas attire.
