Specifics
• Timeline
– This murder mystery show runs 1 hour and 30 minutes. Adding time
for serving an optional appetizer course, salad, dinner, and dessert, awarding
prizes and any corporate party or private party activities built into the show, the evening runs
3 hours after the start of the murder mystery. Details
on timeline.
• Script –
Set on New Year's Eve, 1928, this murder mystery party immediately gives guests
a reason to celebrate any time of year, but also gives that
feeling of impending doom associated with 1929. The script time travels guests straight to the 1920's -- flappers, English fops, prohibition, union organizers, Rudy
Valentino, the Charleston. Everyone is immersed in witty dialogue,
intricate plot, and carefree countdowns to New Year's celebrations. With four
different endings, (and different clues given in the show) audiences can enjoy this show time and time again.
• Setting – The setting is
the dining room/parlor of the dirigible, "Colossus."
Decor, appropriate
period costumes, set pieces, and lighting all emphasize the 20s and the
elegant atmosphere of an airship, traveling in 1920's style. In a center performance space are tables and chairs
and period set pieces appropriate to the action. Lighting is
a critical element to create mood and space. Cabaret songs performed during
food service are sung into old-style microphones, connected to our state of
the art sound
system as needed.
The new "Queen of the Skies," the Blue Star Line's Colossus has
the finishing touches applied for her maiden voyage - a race against time and the Blue
Star Line's flagship - the USS Gigantic - from Tangier to New York (New Jersey).
Owned by the Blue Star
Line, The Colossus is the premier dirigible of its time, traveling on its maiden voyage from Tangier, Morocco
on New Year’s Eve 1928. Originally in a race to New York with the flagship
ocean-liner
of the Blue Star line, the Gigantic, The Colossus must now travel alone
as the cruise ship has had an unexplained explosion - all first class passengers
are transferred to the Colossus.
