At StageCoach Theatre Company, we are looking for original scripts for murder mystery dinner theatre performances.

  • Scripts should be written for 2-4 actors and include both men and women.
  • Total duration of the show including dinner and (optional) question-and-answer period from the audience should be approximately 2.5 – 3 hours. This is roughly 45 pages.

  • Murder-less mysteries are fine, too. They can be aimed at adults or at older children (10+).
  • All of our murder mysteries are PG13. Children’s mysteries should be PG rated.

We are also looking for original scripts for our Theatre for Young Performers. These can be new stories or clever adaptations of traditional favorites.

  • Show should be approximately 1 hour with no intermission.
  • Show should include some audience interaction from the children.
  • Show should have simple set requirements.
  • Rating should be G or PG. Primary target audience would be 4-11 years old.
