Put on your trench coats and grab your flashlights, because there’s been a murder—and you’re the lead detective!

Welcome to River Heights, where the local teenage sleuth is on the case, but she’s missing a few crucial clues. That’s where you come in. In this completely unscripted, high-stakes comedy whodunit, the audience holds all the evidence.

Before the magnifying glass even comes out, you’ll call the shots:

• Where did the crime happen? (A creepy old clock tower? The local soda shop?)

• What was the weapon? (A vintage magnifying glass? A suspiciously heavy candlestick?)

• When did it go down? (The stroke of midnight? Right during the big prom dance?)

Our cast of quick-witted improvisers will take your suggestions and spin a web of hilarious intrigue, eccentric suspects, and dramatic plot twists right before your eyes. Will our plucky heroine crack the case, or will the killer get away scot-free? No two shows are ever the same!

The Details

• Rating: PG-13 (Expect some mild language, suggestive teenage romance tropes, and highly comedic, stylized "violence" that would make Nancy blush).

• Run Time: Approx 90 minutes

• Perfect For: Mystery lovers, comedy fans, and anyone who grew up reading under the covers with a flashlight.

“It would be a crime to miss it!”
