Wanted to let you know that we all were VERY PLEASED with the performance of the Murder by Merlot. Our Dean loved it! He loved interacting and I have heard nothing but great stuff! We really appreciate everything you guys put into that to entertain our faculty/staff. I am more than happy to give the group a raving review!

"The entertainment “value” is very impressive"
The Bluegrass Mystery Theatre show was very easy to engage and they transitioned into our meeting seamlessly They engaged with our people during the show and added Adhoc/impromptu dialogue to make it even more entertaining for the audience. The entertainment “value” is very impressive and I highly recommend them and we will definitely employ their services again! #VaryHappy

"An interactive, entertaining and festive show."
Bluegrass Mystery Theatre is a wonderful company to use for any occasion! They performed 'Merry Little Murder' for our holiday Christmas party, which was an interactive, entertaining and festive show. All the actors are great and everyone had a wonderful night to remember.

"...a great choice."
Bluegrass Mystery Theatre was a great choice for our Winner's Circle Christmas party! The audience involvement kept everyone engaged in the action and the comedy kept the mood very light. I had nothing but positive feedback on the party! I am sure we will use your group again in the future. Thanks for everything.

"...one of a kind experience."
The impressive Bluegrass Mystery Theatre makes a grand event out of any ordinary dinner party. We had a wonderful time watching the talented actors’ performance. Solving the mystery was great fun! It can bring any crowd of people together for a one of a kind experience. They were marvelous!

"...A GREAT TIME FOR ALL!"
Bluegrass Mystery Theatre provided us with the opportunity to present a unique dinner experience for our live auction. The play was in an intimate setting with a select number in attendance. We were pampered with a three course dinner and enjoyed the interaction from the cast that made us feel a part of the show. The evening had just the right mix of suspense and comedy and no matter what size the audience is, it provides a great time for all! I think this show will be our biggest seller next year.
