A Little Mystery History...
About the Murder Mystery Company

The Murder Mystery Company was founded in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 2002. It was a modest performance company whose rehearsals, booking, script writing, and auditions were all conducted in the living room of a small apartment. Performances took place anywhere space could be found and a small crowd could be gathered. Since then, it has grown across the United States into 40+ venues in 20 states, each putting on multiple shows every month. Today, The Murder Mystery Company is the largest theatrical company in the United States. When it comes to quality comedy murder mysteries, there is no need to look anywhere else.
