Stage West & Shadow Productions

For nearly two decades, the theatre professionals of Shadow Productions have joined forces with Stage West to provide guests with evenings of mystery, liberally seasoned with comedy.

For the fourth straight season, CSI:Calgary continues to offer loyal fans an evening of "Whodununnit".

Crime Solution Interactive combine’s mystery, comedy and pop culture in a blender, and the audience does a little more than just wonder "Whodunnit"

Guests will still enjoy lots of laughs and an honest to gosh mystery...
with the added attraction that now the guests not only get to ask the questions and heckle the suspects...but they also have the final say in what happens... because the audience votes and gets to say "Youdunnit".
It's like reality TV..without the TV.

It was over 20 years ago that Shadow Productions interactive mystery dinner theatres began in the Upstage Lounge at Stage West.

This spring Shadow Productions returns to the scene of the crime with a special limited engagement of one of their classic murder mysteries:

The Gang’s Not All Here

Journey back to  Chicago in February of 1929 – Prohibition & bathtub gin. Gangsters, their guns & their girls. And a little massacre in a small,  lower East Side garage. Revenge may be a dish best served cold,  but when there’s a woman wronged, she can really crank up the heat…. 

It’s interactive comedy dinner theatre, served up in two acts & three courses, where the crime is more hysterical than horrible.

A crime will occur before your very eyes.  You are powerless to prevent it, but maybe you can solve it!

You’re the detective. Listen in, ask questions - and you could even win a prize!

Tickets: $79.50 (GST included) per person

Shadow Productions and Stage West are proud to offer a unique evening of entertainment that combines theatre, improvisation and a dab of stand-up comedy, incorporated in a whodunit with a challenging, but logical mystery awaiting your solution. You simply pick up the important clues and make the right connections. No matter how much (or how little) attention you give the actual plot, you're guaranteed to have fun eaves-dropping on private conversations that are none of your darn business. All the while heckling characters who will turn out to be prime suspects. Oh course, they'll heckle right back... but that's part of the fun!

With your help, we do our homework, designing your murder mystery in such a way that guests often find themselves asking "How could they possibly have known about...?". At the same time, we're sensitive to community standards and tastes; we provide an abundance of double entendre and risqué innuendo, without being crude or mean-spirited.   

How it works...

Your company or party meets in the Upstage Lounge at Stage West. Soon, the characters begin to mingle in. They may be slightly familiar to you, as Shadow Productions personalizes entertainment just for you, creating characters and situations based on your group.

The Narrator takes over, introducing the suspects and explaining the rules of the game. It's then time for the work to begin. You must eavesdrop on the conversations going on around you in order to find out who has the motive to commit murder. The mystery isn't always easy; you may find yourself too busy laughing to pay attention to the plot!

Eventually, someone drops dead. The Narrator becomes the coroner and provides an instant autopsy. You the detectives must listen carefully to the scenarios that follow, and try to figure out "whodunnit". It is a murder mystery, so feel free to question the suspects, and try to catch them in a lie. You can even "heckle" the characters - but be careful, as they will heckle right back!

Before the night is over, you will submit a ballot that contains your deductions as to who did the deed, what the murder weapon was, and most importantly what the motive was. The Narrator returns, announces the winner, and awards the prizes.

The show plays out in 3 acts and 4 courses.  Your guests will be treated to a wonderful meal, seamlessly intermingled with scenes.

A Shadow Productions/Stage West murder mystery is an evening you are not likely to forget.
