These full-length murder mystery plays are available for purchase. Take a look at the plot summaries and email eve@realityasidetheatre.com to request excerpts. Full scripts include suggestions for improvisation and audience participation. $25 per full script; $20 per performance.

Funeral!
Betty-Jo Casper, of Betty-Jo's Funeral Parlor, caters the mourning of Adolfo Heliodoro Mendoza, who you may have heard died under somewhat mysterious circumstances in his cushy Upper West Side apartment. The funereal circumstances grow still more mysterious after the coffin lid is opened - and found to be empty.  Rife with suspicious mourners and vampire lore, this piece is ideal for Halloween.

Audience members (who are fellow mourners) have ample opportunity to interact with and question the suspects, and even offer eulogies in Adolfo's memory if they care to.


Fatal Fundamentals of Physics
Greetings and welcome to the introductory lecture of Fundamentals of Physics, taught by the famous, distinguished, revered, award-winning physicist, Professor Samuel H. Rosen! Professor Rosen would like you all to know that this class counts as four credit points toward fulfilling your science requirement. Right, Professor? .. Uh, Professor? ... Holy Mother of God, the man is dead!

Who killed him? Was it ... his resentful teaching assistant he refused to write a recommendation for? The undergraduate who has to take the class over again because Rosen failed her last semester? The envious Professor Athanius Weinstraub who's been losing out to Rosen in grant money? The crazy student genius who knows the laws of quantum mechanics like the back of his hand? Hmm. So many possibilities. But we can use physics to figure it out.

This play introduces physics fundamentals. It's great for high school and college groups, and any curious audiences who understand that learning and having fun are not mutually exclusive activities. Audience members (who are fellow classmates) interact with and interrogate the suspects.
