Scott Ebright owns this company and has a lot of experience in show business. This directly translates into a great experience.
A small group of us decided a murder mystery would be a great surprise experience for our entire team and I was put in charge of "investigating" who could put on a good show. I did some research and ultimately selected Ebright Entertainment because Scott seemed to have it all thought out.
He had a tip list on what to look for in a good location for the murder mystery which included room dimensions and table configurations. He also had optional equipment (yes, an upsell of services but definitely worth the price) to add to the general ambiance and atmosphere of the location.
There are several options for the delivery of the play. We could have chosen to use our own team members to deliver the entire play (you need people with lots of personality for this to be successful) or we could have chosen to use his professional actors to perform all the roles. We chose to use a combo delivery where two professional actors worked with four of our team members (two long roles and two short roles). We think this was the best choice as it made things more interesting to see our own team acting in roles.
The entire experience was fun and everyone had a great time!
*** DON"T READ THE NEXT PART IF YOU DON"T WANT TO KNOW WHAT OUR TEAM THOUGHT OF THE PLAY AFTER THE FACT; IT'S KIND OF A SPOILER ***
The only bad comment from some people on the team was that there was no one particular clue which made the murderer's motivation clear. Some people wished that there was something tying everything together to lead to a clear conclusion - kind of like on CSI. Despite this, they still had a great time!

MurderProductions.com, also known as Ebright Entertainment Enterprises ----(or as MurderCapers.com), has been entertaining Northern California events for over thirty years! I know this on a personal basis because the owner, Scott Ebright had a strong presence in the Sacramento area during the 1980's through 2003.
Scott was always one of my idols in the DJ business..... I was disappointed to hear that he was retired from the Disc Jockey world, but knew he had graduated up to producing Murder Mystery shows throughout the United States, and especially in Northern California. He writes and directs the plays himself, and he has an impressive troupe of TV and Movie actors that he selects small ensembles from to perform various parties.
My wife Lorena (who works for Bank of America) recently attended a company function which involved a Murder Mystery Production from Ebright Entertainment.
She was really impressed by the quality of the production, and everyone in her group had a great time (this is hearsay, but if a bunch of bank vice presidents can be entertained, who am I to argue with my sweetie pie?)
Anyway, if you're planning an interactive corporate event with a "bang," my wife highly recommends Scott Ebright's Murder Productions! (And I can recommend him too, as a friend and entertainer).
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
