Fantastic show, we laughed ALL night

Our family had a fantastic time at the show in Conneaut. The plot was good and the cast did a great job! We laughed ALL night long. We haven't laughed like that in a long time! It really was a mystery and kept us guessing till the end. I'd definitely recommend this group and if they're back in town, we'll go again. Thanks for the laughs.

A great night for a murder!

Phil and his cast of characters were so entertaining; they involve the audience and make them feel like they are part of the mystery. This event was sponsored by our library and our patrons were asking us to do it again before the event even ended!

A magical night for all!

Phil and his crew were fun and professional; showed up early, stayed late. The cast was very playful & interactive with the audience and made them feel like they were all part of the show. Our library patrons RAVED about the mystery night and have already asked us to repeat it!

Murder Mystery at the Wakemen Wine Bar

The performances were very good. All the actors did a great job and interacted with the audience all throughout the performance. It was an entirely perfect afternoon for enjoying an outstanding performance!

About

Motive For Murder provides quality murder mystery entertainment for any occasion, be it one night, overnight or a full blown weekend. From corporate functions, private events, holiday parties, public performances or fundraisers, we have you covered.

At a Motive For Murder mystery performance, you and your guests are treated to the "crime of your life." Even though we describe the performance as "interactive theatre", there is no stage. The actors mingle with your guests who become detectives involved in a series of murders which have a logical and satisfying solution. All the necessary clues to solve the murders are presented and allowed to be inspected.

Unlike the majority of what passes for murder mystery entertainment, we don't slap funny wigs and silly hats on your guests and require them to perform. We provide a fully scripted, professionally acted theatrical event. No singing. No dancing. No pointless time killers.

We do not say that we are the best nor are we the least expensive. What makes Motive For Murder different from other murder mystery companies is that we care. We care about the needs and goals of your group. We care about the quality of our performance. We care about your satisfaction because we know that planning an event can be murder.

What's your motive?
