Unfortunately, for the general public, “Private Lectures” are for groups that have contracted me exclusively for that date and topic and are not open for anyone outside of that group.
For the privacy concerns of the hosting organization, all Private lecture organization names and specific locations are now designated by their county on Long Island. These locations are in all areas of Nassau and Suffolk counties.

Interactive Murder Mystery shows
As co-founder, actor, director and writer for “Murder4U”, my unique Murder Mystery shows provide an evening of laughs and real audience involvement! This is a show like no other. Your members, with a few rehearsals, will be the show by starring in the cast for the evening. Having your members as stars of the cast will increase ticket sales, enthusiasm and audience participation. In addition, the show will be personalized for your organization and the audience will then guess who the culprit is.
There is no other Murder Mystery show on Long Island that can offer this unique entertainment experience. I have been providing quality entertainment for more than 20 years and will assist you in organizing and planning the event to make it a success! I live on Long Island and will travel to your venue for a great day or evening of fun with scripts, music, sound effects, props, wardrobe and lots of laughs!
Why hire large a group of actors when your own members can bring in larger ticket sales and profits that will stay within your organization? Whether you are a church or civic group, a fraternal, political or community organization, a homeowners association or a private get together, your members and patrons will be ready for entertainment in these upcoming months. Book your date for fun now!
