Three Murder Mysteries John P Palmer

Three Mystery Dinner Theatre Plays
With a concluding chapter on producing and performing mystery dinner theatre shows.

Murder at the Office Christmas PartyIt's time for the annual Christmas party at Arttekko, a firm that produces and distributes thousands of art prints to hotels, motels, and commercial buildings every year. Betty Batchly, the CEO, is so driven that she angers everyone around her. Who dies? Who kills the victim and how?

Murder at the Office New Year's Eve PartyThe same basic script with appropriate changes made for the New Year's Eve. This version has one big advantage - many of the props for it can be bought on sale after Christmas.

Shrink-Wrapped MurderFollowing dinner, there is to be a panel discussion during which four panellists will present their research papers on new topics in the psychology of sexual relations. Dr. Sigmoid Frond, an arrogant over-the-hill former leader in the field of the psychology of sex, will be chairing the panel discussion. Through the scenes and audience interactions with actors between the scenes, it becomes apparent that Dr. Frond has more than likely been:
-Extorting/blackmailing/somehow pressuring the others
-Possibly double billing for clients
-Padding expense accountss
-Sleeping with patients
-Stealing patients from the other therapists
-Lying about the ethics of the other therapists
.... And more!
