The Comical Mystery Tour represents a "New Dimension" in theater. We offer hilarious murder mystery shows that are as interactive as you want them to be. If you want to be a part of it, we'll give you lines or break the fourth wall and include you in a conversation. If you'd prefer to just watch, we'll do our best to make you laugh and enjoy the evening.
Now Showing through August....
"A Date With Destiny"
Major John Woody has been doing some recon on an online chat room called StupidCupid.com. He has come up with three possibilities and has invited them for a face to face. He has also invited a guy he met in the same chat room thinking that he can pass along the leftovers if he doesn't want them. The three women he has invited are Constance Lee Lonely, a librarian, Lacy Ann Luscious, who owns Luscious Liquors and Aria Nuttz, who is a former opera star, or so the thinks. The one glitch in his plans is the guy he invited isn't interested in any of the women. He wants John for himself. His name is Harry Cleavage and he is from P-town. Well things start to fall apart quickly and Major Woody bites off a lot more than he can chew. Instead of going out with one of these winners, one of them does him in. Come along and help figure out who.
If you want to see a show but weeknights are bad for you, just check our schedule. We are doing several fund raising shows and some restaurants have hired us for weekend shows that will be open to the public. We will update the schedule as new shows are added.
The Comical Mystery Tour is once again sponsoring a Relay For Life team to walk in the 2010 Franklin County Relay For Life to help benefit the American Cancer Society. We are having two different fundraisers in May to help raise money for Cancer research. The first will be a Poker Tournament at the Route 63 Road House in Millers Falls MA on May 2nd, 2010 Cards will start flying at 1:00pm witha buy in until the first break. It will be $50.00 to buy in with no re-buys. Half the money will go to Relay and the other half will go to the top finishers. Last year, we paid out the top 10 players with the top player getting over $300.00. The second fundraiser we will be hosting is our annual Spring golf tournament at Oak Ridge in Gill MA. This is a nice little 9 hole course, so we have to limit the number to 17 teams. It is $80.00 per player or $300.00 per 4 person team. This includes golf, a cart, food at the turn and a steak dinner. We also need hole and cart sponsors. We are doing something a little different this year. We are going to be having a fall tournament on September 26th at Pine Grove in Northampton as well, so you can sponsor one tournament for $75.00 or both for $100.00. If you want color on your signs, you can get it for an additional $25.00. I will be posting a picture of some of the signs we had last year to give you an idea of the quality. If you want more information on any of our events or how to donate to our team's cause feel free to email us at info@thecomicalmysterytour.com or call 413 774 9844.
ABOUT OUR SHOWS:
All of our murder mystery shows are fully scripted. Although the actors are required to be experienced (and adept) at improvisation, and interaction with the audience is a must for a successful murder mystery, there is nevertheless a set structure to the show. The Comical Mystery Tour believes that the best murder mysteries have a beginning, middle, and end.
All our dinner theater shows are fully rehearsed. Although our actors are very experienced, they still need practice.
All of our dinner theater shows are interactive comedies. Participation includes questioning suspects, contests, reading lines or possibly even playing a role.
Our shows are definitely geared towards adult audiences. We walk the line of innuendo and if the audience takes us over, we go with the flow. If there are children present, we check with the parents to make sure they are OK with "going there." Most of the time, the kids get the jokes before the adults or it goes right over their heads. Nothing we do is any worse than anything they can see on television.
The Comical Mystery Tour's shows are not for everyone. If you want to see a straight laced "who done it", you shouldn't come. If you want to see some flirting, some jokes, some singing and have a lot of laughs, our shows are for you. They have thoughtful humor, but also a lot of slapstick and "in your face" humor. We just want our audience to let go of the thoughts for the day and come along for a ride of laughter with a little intrigue thrown in for kicks. One of the things we like to hear is when someone says "I really didn't think I would like theater, but this was a blast. It wasn't anything like I expected.
