“Even in a small town like Riverside you can find a place which is the entertainment highlight of the city. The Gourmet Detective is definitely a must-see musical mystery show. There is murder, intrigues, mystery and audience interaction. I couldn’t have had a better evening had I gone to Broadway!”

Having won this very cool Viewer’s Choice Award (see previous post), we’ve been asked by a few folks how it all began. So, here’s a little reminiscing. Back in 1989 we (our tiny production team) attended a few “audience participation” mysteries and were horrified by the Don Rickles approach to improvisation. If Don Rickles is before your time, he was very funny, but his act was picking out unsuspecting audience members and criticizing, humiliating and embarrassing them. Hey, he made a career of it, but we preferred a higher end experience, one that put the audience on a pedestal rather than on trial. So, we went searching for a team of directors, improvisation experts and performers to pull the whole thing together. The first performance was November 2nd, 1990 and it worked. Audiences of all types loved the mix of audience friendly participation, music, comedy and drama. It was a ton of work and there just a few of us, but one shout goes out to our good friend Silvie Zamora. She is currently our improv coach and was one of the original cast members 20 years ago!
