Join in on one of this improv group's mystery shows offered in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Two options are available for your entertainment: "Let's Kill the Boss" and "Killing Mr. Withers." In the first, the audience acts as employees who try to discover which of their co-workers hates his boss enough to murder him. In the second event, audience members have been stranded by a broken-down bus at a gas station, where the town is trying to solve a string of murders. Both shows are exhilarating and make for a fully-enjoyed evening out.
