So exactly what is a Nebraska murder mystery dinner and what does it entail?
To answer this, and more specific questions, we have assembled a list
of frequently asked questions here, along with appropriate answers.
Q: Do you perform public shows?
A: Most of our shows are private parties and corporate events. We do
not have a regular venue where you can participate in public shows. The
rare opportunities we do have for public shows are highly sought after
and often sell out. If you would like to hear about these rare
opportunities when the occur, simply sign up for our mailing list and
mention a desire for our mystery shows. If you are a restaurant or
hotel owner that would like to discuss having a quality show in your
venue, contact us. We are capable of generating a lot of interest in
your venue and are reasonably priced.
Q: You say that you customize shows, how
customized are they?
A: Every script is unique and written for the show and group involved.
There may be certain elements that have been repeated over the years,
but we tailor directly to you. Additionally, all of our performers have
years of improvisational training and public performances under their
belt. This means that their improv skills are fully taken advantage of
and can react to the situations around them. Literally, we could not
perform the same show twice even if we tried.
Q: What
makes a THEY improv Murder Mystery different from others?
A: THEY improv stands out in the murder mystery business in a lot of
ways. The most obvious is that the cast of THEY improv is comprised of
some of the top improvisational comedy talent. This means that the show
not only has a great interactive experience for the audience, but that
the entire cast adjusts to the changing needs and comedic energy of the
group involved. Secondly, THEY improv never forgets that the emphasis
is on entertainment, not on mystery. The show is designed to entertain
the audience more than perplex them. To that effect, we push the murder
back in the plot allowing for a larger amount of audience interaction
and fun prior to the murder and a shorter interrogation time. In some
shows the detective is the star. In ours, the comedy is. Thirdly, some
murder mystery companies try to beat the audience and not even give out
the prizes. THEY improv guarantees that someone will have been correct
in their solution of the murder mystery for our full shows. There are a
lot of ways we're different. The best way for you to find out how is to
contact us for a show and see for yourself.
Q: Is your material appropriate for younger or
sensitive audience members?
A: Younger or more sensitive audience members should have no problem
enjoying a night of fun and clean comedy when THEY improv takes the
stage. We are predisposed to performing clean comedy shows. If,
however, we are requested to become more lively in our performance, we
may do so. After all, our murder mysteries are custom-tailored for the
audience involved.
Q: I have a small
group, can I have you perform for us?
A: Smaller groups can get cost-prohibitive for murder mysteries, but
THEY improv may still be able to help. Although we custom-tailor
scripts and bring 4-8 actors to work on your event for a full murder
mystery, we do have other options. After all, on a per-person basis
this can get quite expensive. Besides our Game Shows or Improv Comedy
Show options which are more cost conscious, THEY improv has made an
arrangement with a murder mystery company to provide self-run mysteries
for those on a budget. For a cost of just a little over $15 per person
and a nominal fee for an actor, you can have a murder mystery provided
with your guests playing the characters involved and a member of THEY
improv helping you run the event. Contact us about this option or to
find out what other options THEY improv can provide.
Q: What is interactive as opposed to immersive?
A: Generally, when someone refers to a show being interactive, it means
that the performers will talk to the audience, either to get input or a
reaction. Because interactive is a term used and understood in the
industry, we tend to use the term incorrectly. Our shows are more
accurately referred to as immersive. An immersive performance is where
our actors fully participate in the audience experience and can be
mistaken as audience members. Some audience members can also be
confused with performers. This immersive experience enhances the entire
event and increases the involvement of the audience members to the
point of maintaining full attention.
Q: Are your murder mysteries like a play?
A: While we prefer the immersive experience, we can perform
"Presentational Murder Mysteries." This is performed on a stage or
raised area with sound system like a play and with limited audience
interaction. This is usually done for much larger groups and is more
heavily scripted. This tends to have a higher cost because of the
writing involved.
Q: What kind of venues are you available to
perform in?
A: THEY improv is capable of performing anywhere. After all, we are
improvisational. We are used to making do and reacting to what is at
hand. Generally we perform in banquet spaces, dining rooms, hotels,
restaurants, conference centers and theaters. The question usually
comes down to an ability to be seen and heard by the audience. The real
answer is that you should contact us if you have a venue that you have
a question about and we are certain that we can find a way to make it
work.
Q: You
don't seem to be located near me, can you still perform for us?
A: THEY improv is one of the fastest growing murder mystery companies
in the country. Right now we provide Nebraska murder mystery dinner shows in Omaha, Lincoln, Belle View, Grand Island, Kearney, Sioux City, Hastings, Freemont,
as well as the surrounding areas. We are also elsewhere in the
country with new locations being added and coming soon, so you should
simply ask and we might already be there. Additionally, we can serve
other areas with a slight charge for travel that may have us still your
least expensive option. And if we are not the least expensive? Isn't
having the best worth it?
Q:
What are your prices for a show?
A: Because every corporate event and private party is custom designed you have to contact THEY improv directly to receive a quote for your banquet. Prices range based on the costs for a
show. The more actors, the more props, the larger the event, the more
the writing, the higher the cost. The self-run events
can run anywhere from $500-1,500 based on number of people. Dinner shows can cost
anywhere from $1,500-$5,000. Presentational Shows can cost anywhere
from $2,500-$7,500. These are just rough ranges and can vary greatly
based on clients needs. The prices are also independent of venue, food
and technical equipment such as lights and sound. Contact us for a
detailed quote.
Q: Are there gunshots at your shows?
A: Based on the desires of the client, we may have gunshots (blanks, of
course), stabbings, etc. All such things are usually done to comedic
effect and may require authorization of the venue and appropriate
security staffs. Likewise, the Client must indemnify us and indicate to
potential guests with any conditions the inherent issues or concerns.
