The Unusual Suspects: An Improvised Murder Mystery
Event Information
The Unusual Suspects: The Improvised Murder Mystery An Improvised Whodunit — 10 Years of Mystery, Mayhem, and Sold-Out Shows A body has been discovered… and the audience is full of suspects. The Unusual Suspects is Push Comedy Theater’s longest-running hit — a fully improvised murder mystery where no two nights are ever the same. The crowd becomes part of the action, stepping into the roles of suspects, accomplices, and (sometimes) even the killer. What starts as a simple whodunit unravels into a hilarious, unpredictable night of twists, turns, and total chaos. But here’s the real kicker: you won’t just be watching the show — you might be in it. For over a decade, The Unusual Suspects has kept audiences guessing with sold-out performances across the country. The show has toured nationally, appeared at major festivals, and even held a residency in Las Vegas. At the helm is Brad McMurran — creator of Push Comedy Theater and head writer of the Off-Broadway hit Cuff Me: The Fifty Shades of Grey Musical Parody. Over the years, McMurran has embodied more than 100 detectives, from spot-on parodies of Matlock, Magnum P.I., Columbo, Sherlock Holmes, and Monk to a parade of unforgettable original sleuths. Every night, a new mystery unfolds.Every show, a new killer emerges.And every performance, the audience is left asking… Who did it this time? Maybe it’s YOU.

Viewpoints & Movement for Beginners

Introduction to VIEWPOINTS and MOVEMENT In each monthly class, participants will be introduced to elements of the Viewpoints movement practice and Somatic Movement. Participants will explore the fundamental elements of the Viewpoints of Time and Space, focus on building an ensemble, and create movement for the stage. Participants will gain an understanding of an approach that gives performers greater agency in creating work and an ability to work quickly to achieve dynamic results. This monthly class is designed for performers and non-performers of all skill levels. It is suitable for anyone who is interested in developing a healthier relationship with the physical self, and those who wish to add an invaluable set of tools to their working process. We welcome everyone who is seeking to heighten their collaborative abilities, creativity, instincts, and physical performing skills. We cannot stress enough that while these training techniques focus on the stage, participants from a wide range of creative fields and beyond have found benefit in adding this invaluable set of tools to their work process.
