Nightshade Mystery Theatre

Our company has performed over 200 mystery shows in a wide variety of locations, including banquet halls, restaurants, country clubs, bed & breakfasts, and even aboard the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad.

Our seasoned group of actors come professionally costumed to your location for an event your guests will not soon forget.

We offer ten different, highly interactive scripts to choose from, and for more fun we can customize each to include names and fun facts about members of your group. (Click Here for a partial listing and descriptions of scripts.)

Our zany characters add to the fun as actors create scenes amongst the tables during the meal. After the inevitable crime, each table becomes a detective agency and works together to bring the villain to justice, just in time for coffee and dessert.

All Nightshade Mystery Theatre events can be customized to fit your theme and to include the names and fun bits of information about your guests. Our mystery characters can be in touch with your guests subsequent to your event through newsletters, e-mail, and other correspondence to build interest and encourage participation.

Our company, Bittersweet Productions, can create an unforgettable program for any event — a lively luncheon for spouses; costumed characters to welcome your guests; and a musical fashion show of period costumes including the history of the “little black dress” and brides through the ages.

Nightshade Mystery Theatre is located in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Asheville, NC. However, we will travel to your location, near and far. for more information.
