Dear Friend,
Murder Cafe is alive and well and
Murder at the Mansion is back by popular demand. This piece of Hudson Valley history, with a bloody dose of mystery, has a four new cast members, an added solo song and bookings at a number of new venues including the prestigious Mohonk Mountain House. The schedule is listed below, with reservation information for each location. We hope to see you on one of these dates!
We're premiering two new shows in April both with music, comedy and mayhem, Murder at the Speakeasy and Twisted Cabaret. The calendar is filling up with dinner show performances for both; visit
www.murdercafe.net for a location near you.
In addition to our "on the road" activities, we're digging in at
Arts at the Chocolate Factory in Red Hook, New York for a second year. Our stage in our brick lined performance space will be the home to a number of award winning, nationally known plays, staged readings, the words to three local playwrights, acting classes, open mic nights, cabaret and comedy and a number of surprises. Visit
www.artsatthefactory.com for our calendar, ticket info and updates.
If you're reading this you're one of 5700 people who have given us their email addresses over the past few years, or one of the 1066 fans we have on our

The year is 1890 and the Vanderbilts dominate Hudson Valley high society.
You are invited to a spring garden party hosted by Frederick and Mrs. Vanderbilt; you'll mingle with their wealthy neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. John Astor IV, as well as Vassar professor Percy Longfellow. You'll be fussed over by loyal butler, Horace, and fortune-hunting maid, Charlene. Katherine Kerry, a reporter on the scene, observes much more than glitz and gaiety when she witnesses a murder.
