AAAA NiagaraOrleans Auto Club Inc.I am happy to tell you that my whole group thoroughly enjoyed your mystery dinner show. I was very pleased that my 2 tables were "picked on" and that they joined in the bantering with the actors and actresses. All in all, it was a very enjoyable evening. It was very different from anything they had ever done before and they had a great time. I will definitely do it again in the future. Warm regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AARP Chapter 243 Thank you Brian for contributing to the success of AARP's trip to Toronto to The Lion King and Mysteriously Yours... The beef was very tasty, tender, and done to perfection. Everyone is still talking about the chocolate devil's food cake with mocha buttercream and orange brandy creme anglais--delicious! Brian keep me posted on future shows. We will return to Toronto at some point in 2001. Continued success with the show --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACL Canada Inc.Dear Brian, What can I say except "thanks" to you and the cast for making our "Reform School Reunion" a great success. At the start I was really concerned and couldn't believe what was going on and I don't think I was the only one. Well now that its all over I'm really in trouble. Everyone is asking what are we going to do next year to top this one? This is the first year we have had a 100% turn out and some of our guests have already mentioned they passed on "Mysteriously Yours" as a recommendation for their own events. Again thanks, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AC NielsenHi Brian, I just want to say Thank you. Our event on Tuesday, April 9th at the King Edward was a huge success, your staff and actors were absolutely fantastic. My team had a fantastic time. Thank you very much. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A&M/Island/MotownDear Brian, Just a short note to thank you and your troupe for an amazing evening on Monday. The Sunrise presentation was the final one our company did this fall, and it was great to go out with a bang. As you saw before leaving, their people were raving about everything. The characters and the interplay between them and the audience was perfect. Best of all, Spbill didn't follow Pirot (sp?) home. Again, it was a super night, and I hope we can work together again in the future. Regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A.T. Kearney Ltd.Dear Brian, On behalf of the staff here at A.T. Kearney, I would like to thank you for providing us with a wonderful murder mystery event on Thursday, November 25th at the Founders Club. The murder mystery was a huge success! The actors were superb, to say the least, and I heard nothing but rave reviews from my colleagues. I was amazed on how well the actors interacted with the guests and how extremely funny the whole experience was. My colleagues are still discussing Ginger's attributes! Again, thank you for everything and all the best for the holiday season. I look forward to working with you again in the new year. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A.T. Kearney Ltd.Dear Brian, I want to thank you for the wonderful performance of "Who Wants to Be a Dead Millionaire" at our office event this past fall. This is the second year in a row that we asked you to perform your show, and again, we were thoroughly pleased and delighted with the performers and the content of the show. We were skeptical that your performance this year would be as funny and as fresh as it was last year… we were silly to doubt you!! The actors were wonderful and used the material that was provided beforehand very well. I would certainly recommend you to anyone looking to enjoy an evening of laughter and mystery. Thank you again, and I look forward to doing business with you next year. Sincerely, L.A --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AT&TDear Brian, Thank you for helping make my customer event a success with your performance of "Welcome Home, Billy Ray!" (or: "Achy, Breaky, Murder!") I also appreciate the extra attention and planning of the event, provided by yourself, to help make the evening a success. In addition to outstanding acting, your cast did an excellent job of involving the audience and ensuring everyone had a good time. The feedback from all the customers who attended and my peers has been very positive. When we first planned this customer event, there were concerns as to how to bring some cohesiveness to a disparate group of customers, however, your cast quickly helped to dispel those fears. And, by the end of the evening, due to the wonderful interaction that was encouraged by your performance, all our customers felt at ease with one another and continued the party in the hotel bar. Again, thank you for making AT & T's Customer Event a memorable evening and perpetuating the notion that AT & T throws a good party -- with your help, of course! Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advanced MonoblocDear Brian, I would like to thank you and your cast for a very enjoyable evening. All the feedback that I have been receiving since the evening has been very positive. Everyone enjoyed the show immensely and I would not hesitate to have such an event again in the future. Once again, thank you from everyone who attended the show, for a wonderful evening and I look forward to perhaps seeing you again in the not too distant future. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Allanson International Inc.Thank you for a wonderful evening our group had on May 13, 1999. Here's what our group had to say about the show: "It's pretty awesome", "it's funtastic", "it's different from other shows I've been too", "it was great", "I never had so much fun", "I enjoyed the audience participation and the performers made us feel relaxed", "being a part of "The Y2K Files! - Millenium Factor!"Mystery Dinner Theatre was truly quite an experience", "great, great show". I am sorry I wasn't able to make it myself due to a previous engagement. After hearing all the above comments, I wish I had. Need I say more? Well, given another oppertunity I sure won't miss it the second time. Yours truly,I.B. Human Resources Admin. P.S. Our group enjoyed the great food at the Royal York, too. Perfect place to have a perfect show! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All-Star Cruises & Travel Inc.If I said "thank you" one hundred times it would not express the gratitude I feel for your most outstanding performance this past Friday evening. Every travel agent in attendance was stunned by the evening. Please express my gratitude to all involved. You have truly "won-over" 20 new travel agents and we will most definitely support you! Again, thank you! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All-Star Travel CompaniesA Heartfelt Thank You! On behalf of the entire gang, thank you! Everyone had a most wonderful time and Mysteriously Yours Murder Mystery has made a wonderful impression on all who attended. Here, at The All-Star Travel Companies.... The Murder Mystery is number one! I look forward to next time! Respectfully, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amdahl CorporationDear Brian, I wanted to take the opportunity to congratulate you and your staff on a job well done! We really enjoyed the murder mystery you performed for us on September 12 at the Vaughan Estate. Everyone had a great time-I think they really enjoyed interacting with each other to try to figure out "whodunit". (Some even got emotional about it!) Your preparation and attention to detail really showed. I wish you and your group lots of success in the future. Regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- American Express Business Travel CenterOn behalf of American Express Travel Group (Toronto: August 12), I would like to thank you for a most enjoyable evening with "Mysteriously Yours". Please thank the actors, who should be commended for their great performance, that evening. We particularly appreciated the way you were able to put our office manager and supervisor under suspicion. This concept for a group dinner is something we shall surely recommend to our corporate clients, if ever the occasion presents itself. Once again, thank you very much. We all had a very pleasant and entertaining evening. J.B. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AMEX Canada Inc.Dear Brian, I was stumped! Thank you for allowing me the opportunity of experiencing a Murder Mystery first hand. The actors were fabulous and very entertaining, the plot was creative, the participation was imperative, and most of all everyone had a wonderful evening. I look forward to proposing your Murder Mystery to future groups! Thanks again. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- American Society of Travel AgentsDear Brian, Thank you for all your efforts in entertaining our delegates at the recent ASTA Eastern Regional Conference. As you already know, our agents loved the show. Everyone thought it was very entertaining, as the evaluation cards certainly confirm. There is no doubt that you have impressed the right people. Our delegates are top travel professionals from the Eastern Region of the United States and one of the many enjoyable memories they have taken back from Toronto is the fun they had at your show. Thank you again for everything. It was a pleasure working with you. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AMI Partners Inc.Dear Brian, I would like to compliment your group on a very, very entertaining evening. They certainly had their work cut out for them this time. Our staff and guests were right into the game and were more comfortable with the procedure since this was our second time around they understood more about clues, etc. One of our part-timers made it extremely difficult by continually interrupting the main flow of things. However, your people (being professionals) carried on and made the best of her over-zealous participation. The staff and Management congratulated me by email and in person on Monday for a fun evening, and I would like to pass their thanks on to your people for a great night. I would also like to add my apologies to Larry, and the crew for the aftermath of P.'s over-enthusiastic combination of White Wine and Boating knowledge. Thanks again. Respectfully, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amram's Distributing Ltd.On behalf of the "Alumnae of Amram's Reform School", just a brief note to pass on unqualified praise for the special night you did for our National Sales Meeting on Saturday January 6th. I heard nothing but compliments and excited comments. A very special commendation to your whole cast who we find extremely talented and who maintained an evening of uproarious laughter. We were especially pleased with the way in which they worked so hard to build the script around our people. I speak for everyone when I say that it was a most enjoyable evening. I don't know if I'll be able to top this one. Once again my thanks from everyone at Amram's Distributing Ltd. for a terriific time. Yours truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Answer-Plus IncHi Brian, Everyone had a great time at the Murder Mystery on the 10th. It was very well done. Many of our staff have attended a Murder Mystery in the past and they commented that Mysteriously Yours is the best they have seen. Thanks again and please give my best to Peter. Thanks again… --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arkwright Mutual Insurance CompanyDear Brian, We had an absolutely enjoyable time with the cast of "Casablanca". You will be pleased to know that it has been rated our best event ever! I was very pleased to hear our employees speaking so highly of your production. We have had a very demanding six months and it proved to be a great stress reliever. My thanks to all! Please ensure we are on your mailing for future occasions. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Artpark Supporting CastDear Brian: Just had to thank you so much for the great table location at LaCage on Saturday, March 3, 1988. The food and show were absolutely incredible. Our waiter provided excellent service and we all ate, drank and laughed our way through a marvelous evening of top rate entertainment. I must say that I was fortunate to find your agency. it is a pleasure doing business with you. A repeat of Saturday night is not unlikely, and I will surely be calling for a Mysteriously Yours package probably for the fall, 1988. Thanks again for a great time. Very truly yours, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Associated Earth Movers of OntarioDear Brian, Our association all thoroughly enjoyed your murder mystery performance. It was an exciting evening filled with suspicion and intrigue. The actors are to be commended as they included all our guests in their spectacular performance. I was impressed that your actors were all able to personally select a Director and ridicule him in a very professional and tasteful manner. I found this to be one of the many highlights in your evening dialogue. This kind of event was somewhat different from our other Ladies Night functions in the past and since it was such a great success we look forward to planning another mysterious evening of murder in the future. Yours very truly, G.F.R. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd.Brian, Please extend our thanks to the players tha performed for us on Wednesday night at the Glencarin Inn. The Evening was delightful, everyone kept coming up to me the next day i or conference saying what a great time they had. I believe another booking in December may be arranged with you because Ray Grisold, our Chief Financial Officer Thought it was superb! Thanks again for the great entertainment! Sue Odanski --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Auto Camping LimitedI received your letter in the mail in regards to our latest company event at your facilities. Just to let your know that our crew had so much fun that night and the arrangement was just wonderful. Food was good. The show was great. We all like the interactive aspect of the performance. We really had a good time. Thanks for the nice work. L.H --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BBaker & McKenzie Barristers & SolicitorsMy guests and I had a great time. After heavy meetings, throughout the day, the comedy was a great relief. Of course, I now have the reputation in my Firm of 2,000 lawyers of being hairy, but impotent. Thanks for the great time. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Barry Rayner Associates Inc.Good Morning Brian, Just wanted to congratulate your crew on an excellent job last night. They were hilarious! Everyone had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the show. I was very pleased with Peter as well… very charming, very professional. He took charge and made sure everything ran smoothly… Well done! M.F --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Baxter CorporationWe were at the Old Mill Restaurant last week and went to the mystery dinner theatre "A Clue In The Castle". Our group all enjoyed themselves thoroughly. It was most of the groups first time going to a murder mystery, so they didn't know quite what to expect. They made positive comments about the interaction between the actors and the audience. It was a great afternoon, thanks again. Thank you, S.M. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bayer Inc.Dear Brian, On behalf of Bayer Canada Inc., and myself I would like to express my gratitude on the wonderful show we enjoyed this past Friday. Your assistance and guidance, along with the attention to detail made the evening very enjoyable. I would like to express a particular thank you to "Mr. Humpty Dumpty". My sincere thanks and best wishes for a happy and prosperous new year. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BDO DunwoodyDear Brian, Just a short note to thank you and the Mysteriously Yours group for another fine performance on October 22 at our 1996 National Tax Conference. The performers did an excellent job in getting the audience involved. I particularly liked the idea of starting events at the reception and running it throughout the dinner. It just made the evening a lot shorter (the participants had already had a very long day-starting at 8:00am to 6:00pm). Again, many thanks to you and the crew of Mysteriously Yours!!! Yours truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bell CanadaBrian, Thanks for the follow-up memo. It's nice to see that you just don't take the money and run. I would like to thank you and your staff for such an outstanding job! It was a huge success with all those who attended. I can certainly say that we were all impressed with the professionalism displayed by your actors throughout the evening. They were able to play their parts with great enthusiasm and with high energy levels. It was most enjoyable in the way they incorporated personal touches throughout the evening. I never laughed so hard. All the best to you and your staff. I can honestly sat that if the opportunity arises again, you will certainly be on my list. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bell Telephone Pioneers - Oakville BranchPlease excuse the inordinate delay in responding to your letter of March 28 regarding Murder on Sunset Boulevard. The Bell Telephone Pioneers -Oakville Branch- were very positive in their comments about the performance, the actors and actresses, the interaction with the audience and the buffet. An excellent event for our members. Again many thanks. (alias Capt. Kangaroo...according to one member of the cast and his public announcement of same...Great Stuff) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bell Telephone PioneersThe performance was great. Some say it was better than the previous year's mystery. This is a moot point. Everyone had a grand time and enjoyed being part of the support cast. Thank you for your help and pleasant cooperation. Hope to see you next year. M.S. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bell CanadaBrian: Quite often, I am pleased with the treatment or service that I receive from an organization, both as an individual or as an employee of Bell Canada. However, it is not often that I am so impressed with an organization that I take the time to send a letter listing the accolades that I have heard as a result of the services provided by a supplier. Here is that letter. From the moment that your team walked into the "ship's" dining room, the energy level started to rise. It was fascinating to watch my co-workers interacting with your crew. The actors' ability to pick up on nuances and bring it into the play was very impressive (and very funny)! How the detective knew that our president had been doing the hula with the social director, I will never know. the feed back that I received ranged from terms like "one of the best murder mystery events that I have ever attended" to "the best going-away ever". I guess that is not a wide range, but at that end of the scale, it is hard to distinguish one superlative comment from another. I am now worried that your team have set a standard that others will fear, and it may become more difficult to find volunteers to organize the next event. One mandate of the Employee Developement Centre is to exceed customer expectations. I had expected a professional presentation, but your team's ability and your professionalism vastly exceeded OUR expectations. On behalf of the organizing team, my co-workers at Bell, and our honoured guests, it was a pleasure to have dealt with you and your company, and you can be assured that the term "word of mouth" was not lost on individuals that work for a communication company. Best wishes, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bell, Temple Barristers & SolicitorsDear Mr. Caws: RE: Bell, Temple Summer Functions We wish to express our appreciation to you and your cast with regard to our two murder mystery functions. Both functions were a Hit! Best regards. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bell, Temple Barristers & SolicitorsDear Mr. Caws, RE:Mystery Dinner Theatre McLean House, Estates of Sunnybrook We wish to again extend our appreciation to you and your cast for the enjoyable evening. Best regards! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blake, Cassels & Graydon Barristers & SolicitorsDear Brian, Thank you for your letter of June 6, 1991. As anticipated, the choice of a murder mystery won rave reviews and was a total departure from our usually reserved dinners! Participants in the office were all talking about it the next day, expressing how much fun they had, and Tony Doyle is looking into getting onto the Law Clerk' Committee so he won't miss any future parties because he had so much fun at this one! (I still think Tony was Orville's father--did you notice the strong family resemblance?) You'll be pleased to know that I've already had a request from the Associate Lawyers' Entertainment Committee for information on your group, which I was very happy to pass along, and you may be getting a call from someone in that connection sometime in the future. Again, Chris, Sylvia and I would like to thank you for making our evening such a success! The organizers next year will have a hard act to follow! Yours truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bluewater Summer PlayhouseThanks for a great show-everyone enjoyed it immensely - I haven't heard laughter like that from certain members of the audience in a long time!! We would like to do a repeat (in better weather of course) as I'm sure word of mouth around town will ensure increased ticket sales. Hope everything was OK from your end and that your cast were comfortable -maybe next time you will be able to enjoy our fabulous beaches! Thanks again! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bombardier Aerospace Regional AircraftDear Brian; On behalf of everyone associated with Bombardier Aerospace Regional Aircraft, please allow me to extend our heartiest thanks for the great murder mystery that Mysteriously Yours presented to our associates during the 1998 Marketing & Sales Department Meeting in London. From the initial planning stages through the night of the event, we sincerely appreciated the way that you handled every detail. All of our associates enjoyed "The Maltese Blue Jay" immensely. Please convey our thanks to all of the performers for a job well done! We look forward to working with all of you again in the near future. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bombardier AerospaceSeems like everyone has a great time. Thank-you to you and your people for making me look so good. "The event was a huge success!!! The Flight Operations Steering Committee had a buzz after the dinner which lasted throughout the conference" L.D --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bombay CompanyDear Brian, Let me start off by saying that Mysteriously Yours Inc. and its representatives are extremely professional and talented. The feedback from our Store Managers was full of excitement, enthusiasm, delight and praise. They were taken aback for a short period of time as the characters first mingled amongst the crowd but they soon caught onto the idea and participated with enthusiasm. Mysteriously Yours Inc. turned what has been in the past a very conservative and reserved occasion into a light-hearted and fun evening full of laughter and intrigue. I would highly recommend other companies incorporate Mysteriously Yours Inc. into their next employee function (and I have already recommended various associates consider the idea.) I thank you and your "Casablanca" players for the effort you put forth in making our Awards Dinner such a memorable evening and I look forward to our paths crossing again in the near future. Yours truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Borden and Elliot Barristers and SolicitorsDear Brian: Last week, our personnel group attended one of your murder mystery evenings at the Toronto Hilton Hotel. I thought you might be interested to know that we had such a wonderful time, I have now written the attached article which will be included in a newsletter being sent to more than 100 law firms in Toronto later this month. I hope this exposure will result in many others attending one of your presentations, and having as entertaining an evening as we did. Your sincerely, YOU'LL "DIE" LAUGHING It was really all my secretary's idea..... A couple a times each year, our personnel group goes out to dinner together, sometimes to one of our homes, other times, to a restaurant. It's a great way to keep in touch with each other, and to bring some perspective to our jobs (life is not all work!) When we were trying to decide where to go in October, my secretary suggested that we try something different, such as participating in a "murder night". I had heard a little bit about these (so-called murders happening on trains, cruises, during weekends at various hotels, etc.) and as a long time mystery buff, I was both curious and tempted. We contacted "Mysteriously Yours" and discovered that hree evenings each week, a "murder" takes place in a downtown hotel, and guests are invited to share in the fun. I've always believed that the only way to overcome temptation is to give into it, so we signed up! On the night of the "murder", we registered outside one of the hotel's meeting rooms, and nervously sipped cocktails, trying to work out which of the other guests around us were in fact actors. before too long, one of the so-called guests approached us and behaved as if we were long-lost friends, harking back to the "good old days", dredging up supposed memorable times we had shared. After confusing us totally, she moved on to another group of guests, and another person (apparently her husband) came up to us, crying on our shoulders about the marital difficulties he and his wife were apparently going through. This pattern continued, with several people joining us at different times, and talking to us as if we knew all about them. From the various conversations, we finally pieced together that we were all at a supposed school reunion, brought together primarily because a new chemistry wing was about to be opened in the school. We continued with our cocktails, mingled with other guests, and even sang our old "school song"! We tried desperately to glean whatever fragments of information we could from those guests who appeared to be actors, hoping that this would help us solve the murder that we knew was coming. (To our dismay, we later discovered that what appeared to be some wonderful clues were, in fact, simply red herrings.) When the shool principal stepped up to the podium and began his speech opening the new chemistry wing, a dispute broke out between him and a disenchanted chemistry professor. As the vice-principal stepped in to prevent the professor physically attacking the pricipal, the latter lurched forward clutching his throat, and fell to the floor, seemingly dead. A shocked murmur ran through the crowd, and we were quickly hustled into a nearby dining room, while "school authorities" sought emergency help for the principal. Once we were seated in the dining room, a "Canadian Mountie" Dudley DoWrong (corny, but it worked!), entered the room and informed us that the principal had in fact been murdered. We had been having a pretty good time up until that point, but the fun got even better from then on, as Dudley carried out his investigation. In what was a cross between a polite Don Rickles and a humorous Joe Friday, he mercilessly interrogated various characters (there was an actor seated at each table) often involving the guests. There did not appear to be a formal script, as the dialogue seemed to be ad-libbed most of the time, although the actors never strayed from the original story line, and kept in character throughout. For instance, at our table, we were joined by the supposed wife of the principal - a dizzy, dipsy, doorknod of a woman, many years younger than her husband; how she managed to keep up her squeaky voice all night is beyond me! Dudley has us all in stiches, as he continued his investigation while we sipped our soup. At one point, I was laughing so much, he admonished me by pointing out to all and sundry that I was "dripping bodily fliuds all over the table"! Adding even more entertainment was a second "murder" which happened at our table, right under our noses, between cources! Before we began dessert, we were each given the oppertunity of writing down the name of the person we thought did the murders, and this prompted a great deal of discussion and debate. Dudley revealed all (so to speak!) after dessert, and yes, the clues were there for those who could see them. It was one of the most enjoyable evenings I have had for some time, and I thoroughly recommend it, not only to mystery buffs, but to anyone who doesn't mind letting his/her hair down once in a while....... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brampton SeniorsDear Brian, Re: Brampton Seniors Drop-In Group - March 17th, 1993 I wish to say thanks for the time and courtesies shown the seniors group on their first visit to a Murder Mystery Matinee. The buffet luncheon was terrific and the window seats was one of the highlights for the seniors. Please express my apppreciation for the excellent service from the friendly staff. I have had nothing but positive feedback from those who attended, and they are also looking forward to returning next year. With best regards, E.T. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Brantford General Hospital FoundationDear Brian, Thank you very much for providing us with tickets for your show at The Old Mill on January 22nd. It was a wonderful afternoon! The three committee members that attended with me had not had the pleasure of seeing your group in action previously. They were all impressed and are looking forward to our event in April with great anticipation. Their comments extended from "The time flew" to "I am convinced everyone will have a great time." This performance gave us the opportunity to see how we can fit in our Silent Auction and raffle. It also served as the inspiration for creative ideas for decorating. Thank you again. I look forward to working with you. Sincerely, Once again, thank you for all your assistance in coordinating the event. I hope to have another. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Brantford General Hospital FoundationDear Brian, Thank you very much for the terrific evening. You and your cast did a superlative job! In spite of the difficulties with the accoustics and the number of people at the event, we have received nothing but praise for your presentation. Many have asked if this will be an annual event. The end result of the event is that we will contribute almost $15,000 to the Dialysis Clinic at The Brantford General Hospital. On behalf of everyone involved in the Gala, and particularly our guests who enjoyed your performance so much, thank you again. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bryan Mills & Associates Ltd.Dear Brian, Thank you for helping to make our company Christmas party a resounding success. Unfortunately, I was not able to share in the fun due to illness, but from all the positive comments I heard at work after the event, I can confidently say that a great time was had by all! Best Regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CCAFE Upper CanadaDear Brian, Subject: "MURDER MYSTERY" Workshop On behalf of the Board of Directors I would like to thank you for your contribution to the "Murder Mystery" event held on Thursday, November 6, 1997. Your session received a good to excellent rating from those attending. Thank you for your interest in CAFE and we look forward to when our paths cross again. In the meantime, we wish you continued success. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Campana Systems Inc.Dear Brian, Thank you so much for a very entertaining evening at our recent AXIS User Group for AAA/CAA automobile clubs. I had many enthusiastic comments from our customers, as well as our own staff on the success of "Murder at the Grand Hotel". In fact a number of people stated that the event was the best ever put on for their enjoyment at any of the AXIS User Meetings over the past 5 years. Thank you also for generously providing tee-shirts for all the winners. That was an unexpected, but delightful surprise! We appreciate all you have done to make our evening successful. Congratulations on a very funny, mysterious production and a very talented cast! Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Campana Systems Inc.With such a positive responses from the Mystery Dinner last week, I couldn't waste anymore time in sending a "Thank-you" for a wonderful evening. Being the second year in a row that you have entertained our customer user group, it was mentioned that this years' "The Mystery of the Maltese Blue Jay" was even more entertaining than last year. Also ... thank you for making a special effort in sending me a t-shirt. Unfortunately I was unable to attend the dinner, but I am anxious to attend the next one! We look forward to seeing you next year. Thanks again. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Campbell Soup CompanyDear Brian, On behalf of everyone who was at the Millcroft Inn on Tuesday, Claudia and I want to thank you and the troop for "making" the evening. Everyone we spoke with raved about the Mystery event. The combination of your characters and the personalities of our people seemed to mesh really well. The "extras" who were part of the script had a ball, although I don't think your cast members need worry about any competition! From the moment Lana walked into the River Room with her powder puff to Sam Spade's announcement of the killer, it was non-stop laughter and entertainment. The script was well thought out and the "zingers" directed at the Campbell people present were right on the mark. All in all, it was an evening that will be talked about for a long time. We will be happy to recommend you to anyone looking for an entertaining evening event. Thank you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Campbell Soup CompanyBrian, We had a wonderful time. Even knowing what was going to happen didn't spoil our enjoyment of the evening. You have a very talented group to work with and we both envy you your job! As well, we both want to know what your actors do at their day jobs! Regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Campbell Soup Company Ltd.Hello Brian, Just a quick note to say Thank You & "Souper" Job on May 1st at the Old Mill for our Campbell team. Everyone enjoyed the performance immensely. I'm still hearing comments-especially about Ginger! Please pass on our appreciation to the actors.. I, personally, was thrilled with the amount of personalized material you were able to incorporate into the act. I think our group was equally surprised and impressed. I hope to be able to use your services again soon, however, in the meantime will certainly recommend you to anyone planning a function for personal or business use. Regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Canadian Association of Legal Support StaffDear Mr. Caws, On behalf of the Canadian Association of Legal Support Staff and the Metropolitan Toronto Legal Secretaries Association; I would like to extend my warmest thanks to you and your staff for hosting such an enjoyable evening. Our convention was extremely successful and all of our delegates and guests who attended the murder mystery last week thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Once again, thank you for all of your assistance in the planning of this event and I look forward to perhaps dealing with you again in the future. Yours very truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Canadian Automotive Leasing AssociationDear Brian: I must tell you that your troupe have certainly made the "most wanted" list of many of the guests at the CALA AGM. I fielded many requests for information on your group, (ran out of fliers early) and had to endure endless repetitions of catch phrases and punch lines. At least five people introduced themselves as "a leasing professional...a Canadian leasing professional" the next morning. Thr praise was fulsome and well deserved. I was very impressed with the standards and flexibility of your cast. I believe it was Frank Benson a famous actor/manager who, when asked on his death bed, "Sir, you are dying, is it hard?" replied "Dying is easy. Comedy is hard." I can offer no greater compliment to your company than to say you played comedy (and largely improv comedy at that) and made it look easy. On behalf of the board, the members, and myself, thank you very much for a very entertaining evening. I'm sure you will be hearing from many of the companies present when they are looking for enertainment. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Canadian Dental Service Plans Inc.Dear Brian, Just a note to thank you and the Mysteriously Yours performers for an excellent and enjoyable show at the Vaughan Estates on June 5th. Reviews from the CDSPI staff were raving. (or is that rave reviews?) Anyway, the compliments have been flooding in; they all had a great time. Several of them have inquired about the Royal York shows, so you may not have seen the last of us. Thank you once again for the corporate discount and the Mysteriously Yours t-shirt. All the best. Yours truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Canadian Imperial Bank of CommerceDear Brian, On behalf of the Regional Board of Greater Toronto Commercial Banking I would like to thank you for for all your efforts in ensuring that our annual year-end Regional Celebration was such a resounding success! We are still receiving congratulatory responses from not only our invited guests, but also from the spouses and partners of our own employees. The cast you supplied was fabulous and their interaction with our group was hilarious. Everyone appreciated their quick wit and some of the nicknames they came up with for various guests have now stuck! Thank you again for making our evening celebration such a success. A first class event! Yours truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Canadian Pacific Hotels CorporationDear Brian, I would like to thank you for your assistance in making Friday night a success. The "Murder Mystery" broke the ice and brought everyone closer together for the weekend. I understand that the Royal York function was the highlight of the weekend. Again, Brian, thank you for helping to put the Royal York up front and centre. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Canadian Partner AirlinesDear Brian, A note of appreciation for the terrific performances your group put on for our guests in Sudbury on February 7, 1990 and again in Timmins on March 5, 1990. The Mysteriously Yours cast's keen professionalism and comedy skills accounted for the difference between a humdrum travel trade reception and an evening they will remember for a long time. It was great to work with you and most of the same cast again this year. We will look forward to doing so again. Regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Canadian Partner AirlinesDear Brian, A letter of appreciation for the wonderful performance by your troupe for our guests in Sault Ste. Marie on Wednesday, May 31. Thanks to your cast's professionalism and to a genuinely entertaining show, Canadian Partner emerged relatively unscathed from what could have been a disastrous evening. I would not hesitate to recommend Mysteriously Yours to anyone looking for a different form of entertainment for a travel industry function. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Canadian Society of Association ExecutivesDear Brian, Well, the 1994 Winter Management Conference is now over, and from all accounts, the Sunday night Mystery night was a success! Your actors were able to get the delegates to participate, and from the level of noise in the room, they enjoyed it too! It was a great pleasure to work with you, and in the end, given the cold, cold weather, staying at the Royal York for the event was the best choice all around. Thanks again, Brian. Hope to work with you again soon. Kindest personal regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Canadian Tire Dealers' AssociationDear Brian, I would like to thank your cast for a wonderful evening of Murder and Mystery. A word that could describe the arrangements would be PERFECT. A word to describe the show would be PERFECT. Everyone had a fabulous time. Everything was so professional, it really was a crime!! My complimentsto you, the cast and everyone behind the scenes who made the evening a complete success. My best wishes to all of you. May you achieve everything you endeavour to attain. Best regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CanlightDear Brian, Just a quick note to thank you for a great performance on Friday, August 22, 1997. Everyone from Canlight definitely enjoyed the show. It was very well done. Your staff was absolutely marvelous; they had everyone going. Once again a job well done and thank you for a fantastic performance. Yours truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Canon Canada Inc.Just a short note to let you and the cast know how pleased I was with the event you staged for the Canon Information Systems Group National Sales Meeting on Thursday, January 21. When Laura Roe and I first discussed the idea of a "Murder Mystery" evening, our major concern was that everyone in the group-from senior corporate executives to secretaries-would feel part of the show, have a lot of fun and not feel "put-upon" by the ensemble. We were also concerned about the the "corporate sensitivites" of some of our most senior executives, who attended the dinner. As it turns out, we needn't have been. The evening was a success beyond our fondest hopes. The ensemble was on target, bright, engaging and hilarious. They provided us with, in the words of one Director "the most fun I've ever had at a Canon meeting". It was certainly a memorable evening. Please pass along my warmest regards to the members of the cast, as well as my congratulations on a job well done. You can be assured that I will not hesitate to recommend your services to my peers. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CanonGood morning Brian, I want to thank you and your group for providing Canon with a very good event on October 18th at Blue Mountain. I received nothing but great reviews from our participants who truly enjoyed themselves. I certainly would recommend Mysteriously Yours to anyone planning a fun evening! Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CantoursDear Brian and Lili: A belated but sincere thanks to you and your cast for a terrific show at the Royal York Press Night last week. We all really enjoyed ourselves, and the show was great! Congratulations on a wonderful evening. I heard Michael Lyons speaking about the show the next day on CFMX, and he gave it a really good review. You should benefit from the positive press. Best wishes for a great season, and we'll be suggesting "Murder on Sunset Blvd." to our clients. Yours sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Carlson Wagonlit TravelThe murder mystery at the Varley Art Gallery was stupendous. Our group found the tour of the gallery very interesting . The food provided by Unionville House was excellent - the hors d'oeuvres were out of the ordinary, the meal was delicious and the dessert was to die for. The Mysteriously Yours troupe had us in stitches throughout their performance. I have received rave reviews from the attendees. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Casa Loma Dear Brian: I just wanted to thank you.....I thoroughly enjoyed the performance - I truly felt like I was cruising the Mississauga River. I particularly enjoyed Hazel's performance. Again, thanks so much. I'll continue to spread the word. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CBM Design Driven MaufacturingHi Brian, everyone really enjoyed the party and the murder mystery. I have heard only positive feedback. It was so funny and really made for a memorable party. I was very impressed with the professionalism of the cast when working with me and the hotel staff. I would highly recommend Mysteriously Yours. J.W --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CBM Ltd.I just wanted to send you a note to let you know that the murder mystery was a huge success. Everyone is still laughing today and had a great time. The actors were fabulous. I was also very impressed by their professionalism when working with the hotel staff and myself to coordinate the evening. Thanks for a memorable event to you, Larry and the crew! J.W --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cerner CorporationsI wanted to send along our thanks to you and your cast. The Murder Mystery was a great success and your entire team did a GREAT job. Everyone was still talking about it all day on Friday. A.K --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CGA OntarioGood morning! I must say it was a pleasure working with you as well. Thanks to you and your group for a job well done. Our group had a blast! I loved the way your group interacted and captured our audience. The accolades and comments we received certainly told us that they enjoyed the performance immensely and we chose well. M.K --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CGIBrian, The whole event worked out wonderfully! From everyone I spoke to attend enjoyed themselves immensely. They loved the food, ambience and the entertainment. The whole event went well without a glitch. Mind you I did get nervous at the beginning when I found out that you were planning to hold the same "Survivor Mystery" which we had last year (which we both were not aware of until that night) but even more surprisingly, I must admit I was very impressed by the quick turnaround of your team to provide another Mystery on such short notice. I commend you and your team for being so utterly professional in pulling it off, even in a crisis you and your team still managed to make me the talk of my social club. We will definitely do it again next year with another Mystery that will knock their socks off. Right? Best Regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CIBA-GEIGY Canada Inc.Dear Brian, Thank you for you letter of June 14, 1993. The "Murder at the Grand Hotel" was enjoyed by the Medical Department of Ciba. It added a delightful ending to a very busy day. The cast was terrific especially "Columbo". I was surprised how the actors knew who had a sense of humor and who they cpuld embarrass (examples: Patrick, Bill and Sharon) considering I didn't provide any notes to you ahead of time. Thanks again, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------CIBCDear Brian: Re: Murder Mystery for Year 2000 Information Exchange-Monday March 2, 1998 at the Sheraton Gateway Hotel in the Alpine Room Thank you for the memorable evening. We had a great time. Your mystery was almost, but not quite, as challenging as Year 2000! Thank you for including the references in your dialogue. Sincerely, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------CIBCThis is an overdue Thank you for the wonderful lunch our group enjoyed at your theatre on December 12, 2001. From my initial requests for information to your patience with finalizing our details to the actual performance and the very attentive wait staff, everything was exceptional. As my boss said 'It couldn't have been better." Thank you and the staff at Mysteriously Yours…Mystery Dinner Theatre for a memorable afternoon! C.W --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CIS InfinityDear Brian, Thank you so much for arranging such a fabulous show! All our clients enjoyed themselves and thought that the cast did a great job! Please feel free to use my name as a reference if you need to. I would be glad to tell your prospective clients that this is our second year choosing Mysteriously Yours and we have yet to be disappointed. Thanks for pulling this together! Looking forward to speaking with you next year. Sincerely, B.C.My husband and I would like to thank everyone connected to "Mysteriously Yours". You all helped to make the evening of January 15 a night that our 75 guests thoroughly enjoyed. The actors and actresses went out of their way to chat with and include our most important guests-the bride and groom, best man and maid of honour. And my husband thoroughly enjoyed playing the role of Juliet.( He was good too!) Several unforeseen glitches arose Saturday night and we were so pleased with everyones co-operation. Our request that my husband and I pay for our guests coat checking and liquor was handled with grace and courtesy. As I was trying to be sure our guests were happy, I appreciated this. And the show! Well I think our favourite was Carumba. The show was terrific. Our guests ranged from 12 years of age to 84 years young and all ages in between. The entire group loved the show and we heard comments like "I've got to tell...about this." Thank you for absolutely everything. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Club 32On behalf of our bowling group "Club 32" would like to thank you for the fun evening we had at Mysteriously Yours on June 8th. The cast is friendly & very fasy with the ad-libs. Thanks again, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The College of Physicians and Surgeons of OntarioCamille, the afternoon we spent at your theatre was something out of the ordinary and most enjoyable for us all. Lunch was superb and the performance was quite amusing. I am sure our experience will be kept in mind for future events. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Collier and Park Advertising LtdDear Brian: Just a brief note to let you and your "cast of characters" know how much all of us enjoyed your performance at our Christmas party last Friday evening. We have had numerous enthusiastic comments about how successful a party it was and how much your people added to everyone's fun. As for myself, being a surprised fiancee and widow in the space of just a few moments was quite a stupendous experience. And Chuck is still talking about the great jokes that "Philip Morris" did on him. He says he'll never (!) wear that tie again.... I enclose our Christmas card from last year to remind you of our own cast of characters and to wish you and your group a very merry Christmas and a terrific 1988 from the uplifting people at 888! Yours sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Communities in SchoolsBrian: I wanted to thank you for the wonderful evening you and your troupe provided for our fundraiser last Tuesday. Everyone had a great time, yet again, and we look forward to doing it again next year. I, personally, appreciate your flexibility and assistance every step of the way. I know it can't be easy working with me. Again, heartfelt thanks! R.S Executive Director --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Consumer Impact MarketingDear Brian, I can't even begin to tell you what a fabulous job you and your company put together. From the moment we walked in, our team and clientt were excited, relaxed and looking forward to an amazing evening. The incorporation of audience members, the murder, the murder and mystery, and to top it off, the food, were beyond anything we could ever have expected. People are still commenting on that evening and I must say thank you for all you excellent work. I look forward to your next mystery. sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Consumer Impact MarketingHi Brian - thanks again for the evening- the guests provided really super positive feedback - please share with your squad. C.W --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Continental Paper Grading of Canada Inc.Dear Camille, The food was absolutly delicious. Everyone commented on how good everything was. I would like to thank you again on behalf of our company for making the evening so enjoyable! I would Certainly recommend your establishment to anyone who would like a very enjoyable evening. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cook (Canada) Inc.Dear Brian, We wanted to thank you for a truly excellent performance at our "Over The Top" celebration last evening. Although ours is a fun group, it is doubtful if we have ever enjoyed such universal mirth. Certainly there was a steady explosion of belly laughs, not to mention weeping eyes. We had many comments about sides, sore from laughing, and one lady who said she laughed so much her face hurt. Perhaps it is fortunate we are in the health care business. We were especially delighted with the performance of the players, particularly with their ability to remain In Character throughout the evening, and the way in which personal information was woven into the script. Thank you once again and please be assured the word will go forward. Yours truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coopers & Lybrand Ltd.I would like to thank you, the actors and staff of Mysteriously Yours for co-ordination an entertaining, fun filled event. We had a blast at the Royal York on Friday. The skit involving Rob Tollerton was hiliarious (I think he's planning to cut my pay though). The food was delicious and the actors were great. Congratulations on a successful evening. Sincerely, P.S. Please tell Sam Spade that the Lady of Fatima says HELLO! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Credit Valley Hospital FoundationDear Brian, We thank you for your most entertaining production, your great spontaneity with our group and your unique approach to custom script writing. With my best wishes for your continued success. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Credit Valley Hospital FoundationDear Brian, The evening was great and we are grateful to have had the oppertunity to work with you again. Sincerely --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Crime Writers of CanadaI just wanted to thank you and your staff for throwing such a wonderful Arthur Ellis Awards dinner for us on Thursday. No saying "I told you so" now, but we should have gone with you years ago. The food was lovely, your servers (especially William who kept bringing me nibbles, bless his liver and lights) were terrific, and the ambience was everything we could have asked for. Rick says you and he have come up with an even bigger extravaganza for next year - can hardly wait for that. C. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Crop Protection InstituteDear Mr. Caws, Thank you for your letter dated October 14, 1992. We would like to confirm that the evening was most entertaining, all present had a fun time. The mystery itself, was a good activity for people to get acquainted and we shall keep you in mind for future events. Thanks again, L.R.C. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CWT Meetings & EventsEverything went really well. The actors did a great job and I think everyone seemed to really enjoy it. It was the right level of involvement for the partners and the group did a really good job of working our people into the story. L.H --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DDairy Queen Canada Inc.Dear Brian, On behalf of all the staff at Dairy Queen Canada Inc., I would like to thank you and your staff for an excellent performance. You have a very talented staff/cast who obviously enjoy their work very much. Again, our thanks to all of you for a flawless performance. A wonderful and unforgettable time was had by all. Casablanca will never be the same for us again. Yours truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Davis & Company LLPAs you can see from the comments Brian, everyone had a fabulous time. I'm still getting comments…It was a wonderful performance and a very new style for the firm. I think/hope we can set a precedent for the many Christmas's to come… Thank you again for a wonderful time. S.P --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Delcan GroupI believe everyone had fun. There was lots of participation and lots of laughter. It was nice to see how your cast included so many of our people, they really didn't need much information from me, most of the stuff they used they gathered from the cocktail reception. Really well done. Very professional. S.R --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deloitte & ToucheDear Brian, On behalf of Deloitte & Touche, I would like to send you a word of special thanks for the excellent performance at our recent "Financial & Special Services Conference", held at the Royal York, November 14, 1992. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves, right from the start at cocktail hour and during dinner. Your whole team of CASABLANCA actors and actresses were outstanding!.... Polly, Rick, Ingrid, Jacques, Victor, Joseph, Bella, and Sadie were all excellent, and they really made us laugh; we were in tears! I also received so many positive comments from our whole group on the evening's performance; especially from Bill Bakk and "Joyce DeWitt". Thank you once again for making our evening such a success! I definitely would consider booking "Mysteriously Yours" again--an evening of sincere laughs and fun! Best Wishes for the Christmas Holidays and in the New Year. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- G.& C.D.Dear Brian, Wow! Weddings are usually memorable. However, with your combined participation you made ours unforgettable. We were most impressed with the professional way you combined your humorous mystique of a murder mystery with the reverence of our wedding. All of you were delightful guests as well as a truly high calibre performing troupe. Collectively, our guests report "best wedding ever" and have suggested we consider getting married annually. With thanks and appreciation for the memories, G.&C.D. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EOntario Chapter of the E.A.S.ADear Mysteriously Yours, On behalf of the Ontario Chapter of E.A.S.A I would like to extend many thanks to you and your staff for the enjoyable evening to our members at the Wyndham Bristol Hotel Saturday, April 24, 2004. You show was hilarious as were some of our people. Again many thanks and keep up the good work. S.H --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eli Lilly Canada Inc.Dear Brian, The murder mystery was certainly the highlight of our divisional meeting. With a small group, such as ours, it is often difficult to find evening activities. The cast did an excellent job of involving our entire group and keeping everyone laughing. Thank you once again and I will be sure to recommend you for other functions. Yours truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Encore CruisesBrian - it was terrific! A very professional group of actors. C.V --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Erindale Campus-U of T (Review)Mysteriously Yours Murder Mystery by Steve Viau Medium 2 student newspaper Erindale Campus-U of T Cliches often work their way into writing. Tried and true adjectives used to describe shows are awesome, excellent and killer. Death Enters The Firm really is a killer show. The latest in a series of original murder mysteries from Mysteriously Yours, Death Enters the Firm is an interactive comedy whodunit. Guests have the option of both dinner and show or simply the show, but either way the talented cast serves up healthy helpings of both ham and red herring. Unconventional in presentation, Death Enters the Firm consists of six verstatile actors as skilled at improve as they are at following a script. The audience is encouraged -and occasonally forced-to participate as information is continually revealed; eventually half of all the people present are viable suspects. The scenario: Lemon Lite, a popular soft drink company, was holding a company meeting to announce the promotion of one of the VP's to partner. Suddenly, moments after the announcement, the new partner dropped dead. A Mountie-a Canadian Mountie at that-shocked the assembled by telling us it was murder. The schtick that followed was more innuendo and double entendre than investigation; even so, the intrepid investigator from Newfoundland moved closer to the truth. The final touch to the investigation required that the audience fill out ballots with their solution: the Mountie took these into consideration and revealed his findings in a dramatic conclusion. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Evans MartinDear Brian: Again, I'd like to congratulate your team on a job well done and we look forward to working with you again, Yours very truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Event Spectrum Inc.Dear Brian, Just a short note to say our sincere thanks on behalf of Technology Imaging Services for providing an outstanding performance. The client and all of the guests were absolutely thrilled with the evening. Please pass on our thanks to your group of actors whose characters made the event a tremendous amount of fun. We definitely look forward to working with you again on future projects. Best regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Executive Women InternationalDear Brian, Your team of performers were both very professional and enthusiastic in every detail and contributed greatly to the success of our fund raising event for Executive Women International. I have been inundated with phone calls from those who attended the murder mystery saying how much they enjoyed the show and what a fine group of performers you have. It sure was a fun evening. Please convey to all those who participated, my congratulations on a job well done. Yours truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- F
Father McGivney CHSI would like to thank you and the actors for presenting a great murder mystery on December 6. The students thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon and indicated that it was one of the better field trips they have been on. As we continue our study in law and investigative techniques, I'm sure reverences will be made to Lana Turnover and the rest of your talented cast. I wish you continued success in the future and look forward to employing your services next semester. If you could keep me abreast of possible performances in April or May I would appreciate it. Cordially, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fenton Kiwanis ClubDear Brian, Sincerely, Superintendent of Schools --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fenton Kiwanis ClubDear Brian, Once again, your group made this event the success it is. Looking forward to the next one, and so are many others. M.D. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The First Congregational ChurchEveryone enjoyed the show and they all thought the food was very good. Your entertainers are really good at what they do. It was funny and their adlibs were very timely when the audience didn't do what we were supposed to do. Everyone was impressed with your entertainers. Everyone enjoyed the food. It was a fun evening. Keep it up. We will be back. G.B --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fisher Scientific Ltd.Dear Brian, The whole idea of a murder mystery evening was "something different" to offer during our regional sales training session. Not really knowing just what to expect, I was a little concerned at first about the reaction from some of our more sensitive guests, when your cast arrived at our cocktail hour and started their performance with such fervor and fun (I could have died for Leona's dress!) However, as the evening progressed and everyone relaxed, I realized how perceptive, prudent, and well-rehearsed your actors were. The personal details about our employees were very smoothly worked into the script, in good fun and in very good taste. I feel that our guests were very professionally entertained. The plot of "Merger, He Wrote!" was well carried, and kept everyone interested and laughing the entire evening. Should anyone ask me about casual dinner-theatre entertainment, I will definitely give my heartfelt recommendation that they invite the firm of Mysteriously Yours Inc. to handle their arrangements. Sincerely yours, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flushing TravelDear Brian My husband and I had a great time, our first "mystery outing"'. This is an evening I will highly recommend to my Toronto bound clients. Thank you agian, Sincerely --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Focus PlanningDear Brian, I was very impressed with the professionalism and the creativity of your troupe and my guests have most enjoyed the customization of the play with the insides of the company. I only received excellent comments on this evening. Thank you, Brian, for your contribution to the success of the event. I look forward to working with you soon. Best regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ford Motor CompanyDear Brian, I would like to take the opportunity to thank you and your entire cast for making our Sunday evening dinner event a great success. While all of the activities during our Ford incentive trip (October 25,26, 27) were memorable (i.e. Phantom of the Opera, CN Tower, Casa Loma, Living Arts Centre, etc.) the Murder Mystery event that you and your staff conducted was among the most memorable events of our trip. I look forward to hosting next year's 3rd Quarter incentive trip in Toronto and will definitely include Mysteriously Yours as part of it. Thanks again for a great evening and please pass my thanks along to your entire staff. Very truly yours, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fortune InvestmentsDear Brian and the Cast of Mysteriously Yours, Just wanted to send a quick thank you. You all did a fantastic job on Friday night. The script, acting and organization was terrific. Thanks again for a truly entertaining evening. J.J. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fresenius Medical CareDear Brian, Just a short note to thank you for an excellent afternoon of entertainment provided by Mysteriously Yours. Everyone is still talking about the fun they had and their favourite characters. The cast is extremely skilled in getting everyone to participate. Brian, I really appreciate the way you were able to introduce certain individuals as part of the plot. Not one person objected to their embarrassing situations being revealed. Please convey our appreciation to all who made our Christmas lunch an affair to remember. Best wishes for a very Happy Holiday Season. Yours truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- G
Going PlacesDear Brian, We have talked many times at the Canadian Marketplaces in Rochester about your show and I have wanted to see it as long as I've known about it. Finally I knew I was going to be in Toronto long enough over Easter to plan an evening for the show. This being our first murder mystery we didn't know quite what to expect and it was great fun. We listened very carefully, asked questions, examined the weapons... in short, did everything we could think of to be able to guess the murderer, the weapon, and the location. We guessed a part of it, but close does not get you a cigar. It was a humbling experience. Thank you for the opportunity to see the show, Brian. I have a supply of your brochures and I will see that my Toronto bound clients are aware of Mysteriously Yours. Wishing you continued success... Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- G.G.Hi A belated thank you to the cast and staff for making my post-birthday a pleasant celebration. Everyone at Mysteriously Yours is and always has been most kind to me and I appreciate it. Thanks again for a wonderful evening - see you soon, G.G --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Goldfarb Shulman Patel and Co.Thank you very much. Everyone here enjoyed the evening! They thought the food was excellent, and the show was even better. They all said that it was a great, Funny show. Thank you so much for working so hard with me on this! I hope we can do this again in the future, Thanks! C.S --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Goliger's TravelRE: My group visit to Toronto on Wednesday, December 1 for the performance of "Death Enters The Firm". I spoke with each of my clients on the return bus trip to London. There was universal agreement that the entire trip was a great success and particularly the mystery presentation. The setting was beautiful- The Old Mill in its Christmas splendour, luncheon was delicious and the theatrical presentation-extremely well-done and often hilarious. Thanks to you and your company. Best wishes for the future.-Please keep me informed re: future plans. Yours truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Goodman Phillips & VinebergThe evening was enjoyable and the theatre group was most entertaining. Everyone in the department had a great time. Yours very truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Grand Blanc Business AssociationDear Brian, I apologize for not responding sooner to the successful evening at the Mansion on October 30, 1990. I am still receiving thank you notes, letters, and flowers from participants that evening expressing their enthusiasm. Everyone is talking about doing this again next year and hopefully making this an annual event. I could not have done this without your efficiency, professionalism, and unique and talented actors. Many of us have not laughed that hard in a long time and some expressed the evening as being the highlight of the entire year for them. Thank you for all your help and patience and I am looking forward to seeing you all again next year. Yours very truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Grand & ToyDear Brian, I will surely keep in touch and will recommend you to anyone who is interested. Again thank you very much it was fun, fun, fun! Regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Graphic Packaging CorporationRe: Graphic Packaging Corporation Murder Mystery Production: January 8, 1996 Dear Brian, I would like to express my appreciation to you and the entire cast of the Murder on Sunset Blvd. production, recently performed for our conference delegates at the Marriott Hotel. It was virtually unanimous amongst the delegates that the production was truly outstanding. The cast really got members of our conferences involved in the proceedings which turned out to be hilarious. The group problem solving methodology at each table to figure out "who done it" helped people to collaborate and build consensus around an issue. The delivery of the team conclusions via poem or song also produced some very creative and humerous outcomes. Thanks to Camille for organizing this methodology with short notice. It was unfortunate that not all of our U.S. delegates could participate due to the massive blizzard which forced cancellation of their flights. Please call and let's discuss how to handle this situation. All in all, a terrific job done by all. Please extend our hearty thanks to the cast for a memorable experience. Regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guardian Insurance Company of CanadaDear Brian, On behalf of everyone who attended our final banquet dinner. I want to thank you and the rest of the Mysteriously Yours team for a great evening of entertainment and murder! All of the arrangements for our dinner ran smoothly; from making the reservations right on through until the "moment of truth". The Mysteriously Yours team was an enthusiastic crew who definitely added spirit to our evening. Everyone talked and laughed about the event for the remainder of the night... a definite success! Thank you again for contributing to a great evening. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GWL Realty AdvisorsWe all had a fantastic time at both presentations. Our guests thought the event was a great idea and had a lot of positive things to say. We set out to have a fund team/relationship building event with our partners in crime (no pun intended!) and I think the murder mystery was a great way to achieve that. Simply put, it was a blast! At both of these events we had administrative staff, senior executives and presidents and everything in between that attended. The fact that they all had a terrific time shows that your presentations are great for all age groups and people from a variety of backgrounds. The scripts are fantastic and very funny, but you're talented, versatile performers make the show and the experience spectacular!

H.S.Hi; This is just to let you know that I really enjoy your shows. The last one I saw was the 'Kiss of the E-Mail Female'...hilarious.

Thanks! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hay Management ConsultantsDear Mr. Caws, Thanks again for a most entertaining evening. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- High Line CorporationWe at High Line, would like to take this time to say thanks for the wonderfully entertaining night enjoyed by all on December 22nd at the Royal York Hotel.

Again thank you very much, and we look forward to seeing you again in the future.

The entire staff voted yourMystery Dinner Theatre as one of the best in our series of events, and for a majority of the staff, this was the best to date. Thanks again Brian to you and your staff for an afternoon of fun, adventure and team building. Your group made the event from start to finish, planning to execution, a planner's dream come true. I personnally never worked less and enjoyed an event more because you took care of everything. If the Holiday Inn of King can be of any service to you and your group in the future, please do not hesitate to call. Cordially, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Honeywell Retirees ClubJust a short and belated note to thank you for the personal attention extended to the Honeywell Retirees Club and especially to me, for our outing on January 26, 2005. Keeping me up-to-date regarding available attendance numbers, always returning my calls and in general going the extra mile for the client has made dealing with Mysteriously Yours… an absolute pleasure. The luncheon and service at the Old Mill were outstanding and the play was fabulous. W.F.W --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Howard Johnson HotelDear Brian: Last Wednesday night, Mysteriously Yours provided Howard Johnson Toronto East Hotel with the most memorable evening we have had in a long while. It is one week later and we are still receiving rave reviews about the wonderful performances your troop gave to entertain our guests. It is without hesitation that everyone at Ho Jo's will recommend both your special custom mysteries and the Royal York dinner theatre. Brian, once again, thank you for making our corporate dinner such a smashing success. Sincerly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Howe Gastmeir Chapnik LimitedJust wanted to let you know we all had a wonderful time on Saturday, December 11. Everything went smoothly and the young children were well behaved and also had a lot of fun. I brought my two teenaged sons and they both also had an amazing time. We will definitely have to do this again. Thank you so much for all the preparation you provided to help make it a memorable and fun evening. B.P --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Hunt Club Condominium(Unionville)On behalf of all attendants who thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the mystery of the Maltese Blue Jay on December 10, 1997. We wish to congratulate you and the performers for bringing the Hunt Club The Best Social Event Ever. There was not one person who didn't tell me how much they enjoyed a great night of fun & laughs, and the ultimate question when could we expect a return engagement? Our biggest problem for a future engagement will be with our limited seating and who will get tickets and how do we handle those residents who will be extremely disappointed. Nice problem eh! Would you personally thank each performer who gave their best to a receptive audience and made our Annual Turkey Dinner the best ever. FVV --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Hunt Club Condominium (Unionville)Dear Brian, Responding to your letter of December 21, 1998 I can excitedly and honestly say this year's presentation of the "Love Boat Mystery" exceeded last year's presentation (which was excellent). In every dialogue without exception those people who were fortunate enough to attend and enjoy both this year and last year's presentation confirmed the above. Your cast and your organization were professionals to the highest degree and I congratulate and compliment all of you on behalf of the happy residents of the Hunt Club condominium, and those unfortunate residents who could not attend because of seating limitation. We are looking forward to next year's presentation perhaps "The Y2K Files"? F.V.V. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hydro Magnesium MarketingI am writing just a brief note to thank you for making my (Hydro's) event such a wonderful success. Your characters were outrageously funny and enetertaining and very professional. I received so many compliments fronm our customers the next day, so I felt I had to share some of that with you and your group. Thank you. I look forward to taking in one of your shows the next time I'm in Toronto. Best regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I
IBM Canada Ltd.Dear Brian, On behalf of all the attendees at our Function Day on September 12, 1990 at Fantasy Farm, I would like to extend a sincere thank you. Please convey to the performers of the Reform School Reunion that the mystery was an overwhelming success which everybody just raved about. Thank you for making our CIC Function day a success, and we will certainly tell others about Mysteriously Yours. Yours truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IBM Canada Inc.Dear Brian, Just a quick note to let you know how much we all enjoyed The IBM Reform School Reunion. Everyone has a great time and there's still a few jokes about Mona going around the office. Wishing you all continued success! Yours truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IBM Canada LaboratoryReference: IBM Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) Recognition Event, Murder Mystery , Royal York Hotel, 12/1/94 Brian! Your Murder Mystery was a "smashing success"! I received many compliments regarding the evening. The Royal York Hotel was impressive, the dinner and service were excellent. The Murder Mystery itself is an excellent choice for a group as it appeals to everyone and our group was particularly impressed how you wove the guests into the action. Despite the large group, everyone felt part of the mystery. The evening capped a day of celebration and was well deserved recognition for a project that was both difficult and long. Your professionalism and excitement was fitting for IBM saying thank-you to our people and their families. I sincerely thank you for making the evening special. I highly recommend you and your company. Again, many thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IBM Common Financial SystemsDear Brian, I just wanted to let you know that the Murder Mystery was a terrific success. Everyone in our finance function was talking about it for days afterwards. It was really creative how you fit humorous comments about the finance managers into the mystery. Thanks again for helping making our Finance Function Day so much fun. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ICI PaintsDear Brian, Happy New Year! Just a few lines thanking you for your letter and to say what a smash hit you all were. Yes, everyone thoroughly enjoyed Mysteriously Yours and should other occasions occur throughout the year I will definitely contact you. Once again, many thanks, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Imasco Ltd.Dear Brian, First of all, my apologies for being so delinquent in writing to tell you how much our group enjoyed your troupe's presentation of "The Mystery of the Maltese Blue Jay" on September 19 last. The actors were outstanding and a good time was had by all. I much appreciated your efforts in putting a cast together on such a short notice. I received nothing but praise from my group. They had a truly enjoyable evening. Once again, thank you for all your assistance in coordinating the event. I hope to have another occasion to invite you and your cast to entertain in the near future. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Imperial Tobacco Ltd.Dear Brian, On behalf of all our managers and spouses, we would like to thank you for presenting the murder mystery evening at Grandview Inn. It was a great experience which we truly enjoyed and it certainly enhanced our meeting. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMS CanadaDear Brian, Many thanks for providing entertainment at our December 14th meeting, held at Niagara-on-the-Lake. Your performance, "The Trial of Sherlock Holmes", was orchestrated extremely well and was very entertaining. Our staff enjoyed it thoroughly. Brian, renewed thanks for providing a relaxing, amusing and delightful evening of fun and entertainment. Kind regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ingram MicroHi Brian; Just a short note of "Thanks" for the wonderful service we received at Eaton Hall on Saturday, May 24th. All of your staff went out of their way to truly entertain us and all of my guests had a wonderful time. It was hard getting them out of Eaton Hall at the end of the evening. Please convey my appreciation to all involved. Best regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Injury Management Services Ltd.Dear Brian, Thank you for your letter of December 27, 1994. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for the very entertaining Mysteriously Yours Christmas luncheon. Our staff thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. We will certainly keep you in mind for next year's Christmas luncheon. Thank you. Yours truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Insight Business ConsultantsDear Brian: It was a pleasure meeting you and your troop. I have heard nothing but glowing comments about the evening at "The Insight Reform School Reunion". The majority of our employees are programmers who are not necessarily the most fun bunch of people around so I was pleasantly surprised when they all joined in and actually started yelling and enjoying themselves! That is a great accomplishment on your part! Thanks again for a fun evening. Your truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- International Association of Business CommunicatorsThanks for entertaining I.A.B.C. members once again with an evening of good natured fun! I look forward to doing business with you again! T.R. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- International Corporate EventsDear Brian, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you very much for the outstanding performance that Mysteiously Yours... hosted at the Old Mill for my client on October 26th, 2000. The "Who Wants to be a Dead Millionaire?!" (Is that your final answer?!), was an enormous success. My client commented that their employees were still talking about it weeks later. International Corporate Events would not hesitate to utilize the perfornces of Mysteriously Yours... in the future for any of our clientele. Brian, again I would like to thank you for the prominate job that you and your actors were able to achieve on such short notice, to pull this event together so dynamically. Yours truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investors GroupDear Brian, It was a pleasure having you perform for our clients on Oct. 20/98. Everyone had a wonderful time!!! The actors were superb. We will have you back again. Again thank you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Irene Taylor Ltd.Dear Brian, As always, your shows and cast were superb and lived up to even the exceedingly high expectations of both the Audit & Law groups of Royal Bank Financial Group. I received many positive comments. I love working with people who make our job easier and who make us look good! Thanks again, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i.STAR internet inc.Dear Brian, Just a note on behalf of the iSTAR internet inc. team to thank you and the cast for an enjoyable evening. Your group are truly a professional team who entertained us "mentoring" some of our "aspiring actors" to actively participate through the evening. Yours truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEA - International Theatre Equipment AssociationDear Brian, I want to compliment your staff on a job well done making our dinner extra exciting. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- J
Janssen-Ortho Inc.Dear Brian: Thank you for a wonderful evening of entertainment. It was enjoyed by all. Best regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Brown Travel Service Inc.Dear Brian, On behalf of the entire Agway group I would like to thank you for a wonderfully entertaining evening!! The murder mystery was lots of fun, your actors did a fantastic job. The feedback from the group was very positive, everyone really had a great time. Thank you for all of your assistance and for providing this group with a great highlight to their trip. We look forward to working with you for future groups. I won't have any problem recommending your organization when we next have a group looking for something fun to do in the evening. Sincerely --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Johnson Insurance LimitedTo whom it may concern: Re: Friday November 20, 1992 Performance We, the Social Committee of Johnson Insurance Limited, would like to thank you for providing us with an evening out that we will not soon forget. We had what we consider to be the best seat in the house, right in front of the stage and right in between the two sets of doors that the actors entered through. Being right in the middle of the action was quite an experience for us all. We all agreed that the presentation was incredible. The clues were given in such a way that "the killer" was not obvious to us, it could have been any of the actors. We have all decided that we would like to go again sometime but with a larger group. Please keep us informed as to future mysteries that you will be performing. Again thank you for putting on such a great show and keep up the good work! Yours truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- K
Keg RestaurantsA job well done. You have some very talented staff working for you. We were always made to feel important, which is so instrumental for success in the hospitality field. See you next year! M.C --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KPMG Peat Marwick ThorneSorry for the rather slow response to your letter-things couldn't be busier around here. I spoke with several people who attended our Murder Mystery Night for a reaction and everyone said they really enjoyed it and had a good laugh. Although we started the evening as a group of people who didn't all know one another, we all felt quite connected by the end of the show. I myself had a great time and would recommend your group for future events. Yours truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kraft CanadaThanks to you and the cast of CSI: Baker Street for a fantastic show. Our group had a wonderful time. They declared it to be a very memorable experience-especially due to the group participation! In particular, our compliments go to Jean Daigle. The group found him to be a fantastic host - and several were heard to remark that "They'd like to have that guy at parties!" K.M --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Krown Rust Control SystemDear Brian, I wanted to write and tell you and your cast how much everyone enjoyed the Murder Mystery you performed for us at the Embassy Suites Hotel on Saturday, April 13, 1996. Everyone is raving about it and still chuckling over some of the situations presented. You and your cast seem to stay current with today's news and including pertinent information and active participation from the group added to the hilarity. They especially thought your cast of actors and actresses were quick witted and well able to respond off the cuff to audience participation. This made it even more enjoyable. I am sure this is an evening that everyone will still be talking about for a long time to come. I would highly recommend this form of entertainment to any group planning a social event. Thank you once again. B.A. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LJohn Labatt LtdDear Brian: Well, a great time was had by all. Thanks so much. All the girls are still talking about what a wonderful day it was. Just fabulous! Never before have I had so many men in such a short time, though! Easy come, easy go, I guess! Thanks again. Yours truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lac Minerals Ltd.Just wanted to send along a brief note following our murder mystery evenin last night to express thanks from all those who attended. Feedback this morning was tremendously favourable and provided the right atmosphere for our annual post audit ceclebration. The actors were all very good and many in our group were impressed with the improv/personal nature of the show, particularly the spontaneity of the actors. Please pass on our thanks to all those involved in last night's show. One thing we noticed about the show was that it put all in the audience on the same level, something that is important to do when you have people there from vice president down to accounting clerk. It might be the kind of event that would suit a Christmas office luncheon and we will give it some thought for later in 1994. Until then, thanks again. M.D. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Labour Management ServicesMany thanks to you and everyone else at Mysteriously Yours… we had a total blast last Friday. People are still talking about it. Food was great service was great and the performers were wonderful. I will recommend you everywhere. G.L --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lederle LaboratoriesDear Brian, On behalf of the Lederle sales group, I would like to thank you and the murder mystery actors for a wonderful evening of laughs and entertainment. All of the arrangements went off smoothly, the information provided on various individuals in our group was included nicely into the text and the jokes were tasteful. The feedback on the evening from the group has only been positive. The actors are to commended for an excellent performance. Thank you once again. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lerner & AssociatesDear Brian, Thank you once again for the top quality performance that your group put together for our firm. I have heard nothing but praise both for the actors and the evening as a whole. I hope we have the opportunity to make use of your services again and will highly recommend you if the opportunity arises. Yours very truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lick's Homeburgers & Ice CreamDear Brian, Thank you for making our first Gold Star Winner Dinner event of 2002 a great success. All of our managers and employees had a great time and lots of laughs. We will definitely consider booking an evening with you again! You're serving staff and the show's "personalities" were true professionals. Mysteriously Yours made our event easy to both plan and attend. Thanks again,
L.H --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- London Life Insurance CompanyDear Lili, Just a short note to thank you for orchestrating the "London Life Reform School Reunion" at Clevelands House for us on September 11, 1989. Everyone seemed to enjoy the murder mystery and enjoyed the actors, both in the mystery and afterwards and talking to them in the relaxed atmosphere. I appreciate very much the interest taken by your company which of course guaranteed the evening would be a success. You can rest assured that the next time the opportunity arises for us to entertain our guests with a mystery night we will certainly be contacting you. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- London Life Insurance Company
This is just a short note to inform you about how much we enjoyed the mystery dinner which you performed at in Clevelands House in September. From all the feedback received from the guests, everyone had a terrific time. If at any time in the future you require a reference, please don't hesitate to have the potential client give us a call. I look forward to working with you again some time in the future, possibly in the Toronto area. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- M
Mackenzie FinancialI just wanted to say, how amazingly well the mystery went and how much fun everybody had. There was a ton of laughter, cheers and applause and I had people coming up to me later saying what an awesome idea it was to have you guys there. I am sure that we will be utilizing you again!! M.G --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Make-A-Wish Foundation (Toronto)
On behlaf of the Make-A-Wish Foundation (Toronto), thank you for your support of our Second Annual Murder Mystery Night & Silent Auction. J.S. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E.E.M.Dear Brian, I can't remember having such a good time at a dinner theatre before as we had last night. My husband and I love plays, theatre, etc. and we go every chance we get, but rarely do we attend a dinner theatre where we can't wait to go back. The cast was excellent! The food was delicious! The whole evening was a class act! We especially liked cocktails before dinner where we picked up some clues, as well as after dinner when we chatted with the actors/actresses who appeared to be as fine in person as they are in character. We had the priviledge of dining with "Nana Nina" and "Trudy". Nana didn't say much but Trudy was so convincing as the neurotic nurse it was incredible. Our friends, the B.s (whom, by the way beat me out for the return visit) and ourselves were making plans to come back, before we even got out of the Hotel. Congratulations to you all!! Mysteriously Yours... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Manion, Wilkins & Associates Ltd.I have done nothing since our event on September 15th but tell everyone I know how great you guys are! P.L --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maple Leaf Foods Inc.Dear Brian, Re: Maple Leaf Foods Inc. Benefits Conference I want to personally thank you for the outstanding Murder Mystery Dinner which took place at the Cranberry Resort in Collingwood. The Mysteriously Yours group were very entertaining and professional AND never out of character! Everyone interacted throughout the evening and based on our evaluation forms, the Murder Mystery Dinner was definitely the highlight of the conference. Thank you again for a wonderful evening and wish you continued success in the future. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marathon Realty Company Ltd.Dear Brian, I am still receiving accolades from staff regarding golf day. In particular my good sense to hire your troupe for the evening entertainment. You have a group of incredibly talented people. I'm sure you're very proud. It's impossible to name just one as the best. They are equally brilliant. Just so you know, the comment that received the most laughs was the reference made about our Executive Vice-President and Vice-President really being the old guys in the balcony from the Muppet Show. Thank you for your contributions towards making Marathon's Employee Golf Day a smashing success. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MarsulexDear Brian, A belated word of thanks for the mystery theatre your group provided on June 27th. Everyone who attended the dinner enjoyed themselves tremendously. In fact, I don't hesitate to say it was the most entertaining company dinner Marsulex has ever had. I also wish to thank you for the planning which was done before hand. It enabled the evening to run smoothly. Yours sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- P.M.Thank you for your letter of July 19. I'm sorry it took me so long to reply. I can certainly say everyone enjoyed my wife's birthday party and especially the Murder Mystery, which was, according to all accounts, the highlight of the evening. How can you beat a double shooting/murder at dinner with me as a suspect? And, everyone thought it was great the way you worked in Carolyn's love of short leather skirts, zippers and going topless on vacation. Andrew, my young son, was super happy to be profiled with his Nintendo expertise. Also, most of the guests later sent me thank you notes for including them in what everyone said was the most fun filled action packed evening of their life time. The whole evening was superbly well captured by the videographer. It was fun and laughter from beginning to end on the tape. So thanks for a great job. Yours very truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd.Dear Brian, First let me apologize for not sending this letter sooner. Our whole group had such a great time that night, they are still talking about it and would love to do it again. I had never been to a murder mystery prior to our event and I would most certainly recommend your group. Thanks again for such a wonderful time. I will certainly not hesitate to organize another event in the future. (hopefully soon!) Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- McNeil Consumer Products CompanyWe had a very interesting evening and we appreciate all that your group did to accommodate us. You make it very easy to relax and enjoy ourselves, from your excellent customer service in the head office to the very talented group of actors (and I assume, backstage and technical staff) that made being a part of the mystery very fun. I find it amazing that your actors can pick out the people that are comfortable with a higher level of participation versus those that prefer to watch the antics at a distance. Everyone in our group was relaxed and comfortable. We all enjoyed sharing our table with "Miss Lana Turnover". Your company provides an enjoyable evening and I will definitely recommend your dinner and show to anyone interested. Thanks again, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Memorex Canada Inc.Dear Brian: On behalf of all of the attendees of our 1988 Kick Off Meeting, I would like to thank you very much for a most entertaining evening, with the Murder at Eaton Hall on January 5. The comments I have received have all been very positive. Your cast is to be commended on their excellent performance, who, despite the efforts of almost all of the 75 attendees, managed to maintain their sanity throughout the entire evening, Please extend both our sincere thanks and best wishes for 1988 to your cast, (Unmysteriously) Yours very truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Merrell DowDear Brian: ...Everyone enjoyed the entertainment - the actors were great..... Regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals (Canada) Inc.Dear Brian, Thank you for your letter of March 8, 1991. I apologize for taking so long in replying; however, we wanted to have our survey results in before responding to you. Our results were overwhelming in approval for the Murder Mystery. Everyone who participated had a great time and all agreed that the idea of involving the entire audience was a real treat. Many of our associates indicated that this is the type of event that they would like to do again. We would like to thank you and your group for an excellent show. It appears everyone had an excellent evening. Thank you! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Metropolitan Toronto Convention and Visitors AssociationDear Brian; I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for a fabulous evening last night. Both Sahar, my fiancee, and I really enjoyed the Murder. Sounds morbid, doesn't it? The presentation was tremendous, and the performers were quite, uh, (how shall I put this?) different. I do realize that it is important for the actors to become familiar to all present, and the cast certainly proved capable of the task. The format of the evening was quite effective. From previous conversations, you do know that I was involved in a "cocktail" murder, but a dinner is much more fun. This gave the actors a chance to become quite familiar with us, as opposed to wandering back and forth from one grouplet to the next. Again, Brian, thank you so much for the invitation, and the opportunity to see your production. I would sincerely endorse any opportunity to present "Mysteriously Yours" at a future Business After Hours, though I think we would both agree that for a complete success, the venue would have to lend itself to the Murder. Keep in touch, and if I can be of future assistance,... Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miller Dallas Inc.Dear Alex, It was a pleasure to finally meet you last Friday. On behalf of the staff here at Miller Dallas Inc., I would like to thank you for providing us with a wonderful evening on April 23, 2004 at your beautiful theater. The murder mystery was a huge success! The actors were fantastic, the food was delectable, and I have heard nothing but rave reviews from my colleagues. Please pass on our thanks to your Executive Chef Av for a wonderful dinner. I was amazed on how well the actors interacted with our staff and made our energetic group a part of the show. The level of professionalism and courtesy you showed both the group and myself was outstanding and I again, thank you for everything. All the best with this new show. I look forward to working with you again sometime soon. Sincerely, N.M --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miles Canada Inc.I would like to extend our sincere thanks for one of the most enjoyable social evenings our group has had. The characters and the performance was wonderful. We have had so many people compliment us on our choice of enterainment for our social dinner, but the compliments should be given to all your cast members that presented your "Murder At The Grand Hotel". I don't think any of us have laughed and giggled that much in a long time, and believe me, we all needed that relaxing night out. I only wish I had brought a camera to capture some of the most hilarious moments during the evening. We would definitely recommend your company to anyone who is organizing a social event, and hope to have the opportunity to work with you again some day. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miles Canada Inc.Dear Brian, This belated note is to thank you and your cast for a most entertaining evening at our National Meeting in December. Comments from our "amateur sleuths" indicated a high level of participation and enjoyment in solving the murder (or trying to!) and interacting with your cast. Best wishes for a successful 1995. Yours very truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Make-A-Wish FoundationDear Brian, On behalf of the Make-A-Wish Foundation (Toronto), thank you for your support of our Second Annual Mystery Night & Silent Auction. The comments regarding your actors and performance was fabulous. Our event was tremendous success! Through you continuous support our Foundation will continue to contribute to the happiness and hope of children suffering from a life threatening illness. As a result of your support the special wishes of seven Wish Children will come true. Recently the following wishes were granted: Four year old Brandon, who has been diagnosed with a brain tumour, spent six fabulous days with his family at the Daytona 500 NASCAR Race and met with his favourtie race car driver, Dale Earnheardt. Ten year old Michael, who suffers from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, realized his wish of "Swimming with the Dolphins" when he traveled with his family to the beautiful island of Bermuda. These courageous youngsters and their families must live on a daily basis with the realities of serious disease and its emotional, physical and often financial impact on the entire family. The Make-A-Wish Foundation works to provide a carefree escape from this reality into a world where wishes do come true. On behalf of our Wish Children, thank you for turning dreams into a reality! Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Mississauga HospitalDear Brian, RE: The Mississauga Hospital Medical Staff Dinner at the Mississauga Golf and Country Club Thank you for putting on a wonderful show. It was what the staff all needed to relax and forget the real world for a few hours. They are all excited to see if it can happen again next year! The people who did not come really heard about all that they missed. Furthermore, thank you for the tickets to the Radioland Murders which me and my guests also enjoyed. The staff and I look forward to your future return visit. Thank you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MIX 99.9/CFRBDear Brian, On behalf of all of us here at MIX 99.9, please let me thank you once again for a great evening last Tuesday. Your group should be commended for their attention to detail and visible enthusiasm and concern in delivering a first class wrap-up party. You have assisted greatly in helping us leave a lasting impression with our listeners, and our sponsor Thomas J. Lipton. We look forward to working together again very soon! Best regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Moore Response Marketing ServicesDear Brian, On behalf of Moore Response Marketing we would like to thank you and the cast of "Grand Hotel" for making our customer appreciation dinner at George Brown House a success.

Many thanks, J.A. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Motorola Information SystemsDear Mr. Caws, Thank you again for an entertaining and fun evening on May 2, at "The Codex Reform School Reunion".

It looks like the Murder Mystery evening was a great success judging by the positive feedback we have received from our clients. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NNational Ski AcademyHi Brian, Yes we did have a wonderful evening with your Number #1 team. I would use Mysteriously Yours again and/or recommend you anytime. Thanks so much for organizing our fun. K.P --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No FrillsI just wanted to send a note of thanks to you and the actors for a wonderful evening of Mysteriously Yours… The no-frills group had a great time, we truly enjoyed the Murder Mystery. Your actors did a great job getting everyone involved and having a good laugh. It was an opportunity to have a laugh and get everyone involved. R.M --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- North York Branson HospitalDear Brian, Thank you for a very enjoyable evening of mystery and mayhem. Your "Welcome Home, Billy Ray" troupe had everyone's interest and participation! It was the most relaxed and fun event I've ever had the pleasure of organizing with the medical staff. Dr. Shapira is now known to all of us as "Uncle Al". He specifically mentioned what a fantastic time he had. Thank you to all of you at Mysteriously Yours...for a wonderful, entertaining evening.(and thanks for the t-shirt!) Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Northern TelecomDear Brian, Thank you for your kind letter. We should be the ones to thank you for a superb evening. What could have been a routine dinner was transformed into a marvelous evening of fun and laughter. Many of our group were meeting each other for the first time and, for some it was their first visit to Toronto. You provided the catalyst to relax and break down the barriers between strangers. Thank you..and your great cast for your entertainment and interest. Rest assured, you will hear from us again. Yours sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Northern TelecomDear Brian, Everyone I spoke to really appreciated and enjoyed the evening with your company. Enthusiasm was even voiced on their evaluation sheets, despite there not being a particular area for comments for evening activities. The senior managers had a great time and it was an opportunity for the new grads to see that, once you reach somewhere near the top, you can still be human. Thank you for all your efforts, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Northern TelecomBrian, The Murder Mystery evening at our conference went extremely well. It helped make our conference a great success. The troupe did a fantastic job entertaining our customers. The whole evening could not have worked out any better.

Sincerely --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Ontario Archaeological SocietyDear Brian, This is a very belated, but heartfelt, thank you for putting on the Murder Mystery at Columbus Centre in March on behalf of the Ontario Archaeological Society. The evening was a tremendous success, Detective Carumbo from Carumbus Centre was an inspiration, and many people are asking me when I am holding the next one. (Columbus Centre wants Carumbo back!) Please thank all those involved, from the actors who did such a magnificent job to Cynthia who encouraged me when I became nervous at not pulling it off. I hope we will be able to work together again sometime. In the mentime, you can be sure I will recommend your company to others who may be interested in a similar event. Yours Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ontario Association Of Fire ChiefsDear Brian, We would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for taking part and making our conference a great success. Everything was perfect and we only had praise about your entertaining show. I hope that you receive a good response from groups of this type in the future. Once again, Brian, keep up the good "Murder Mystery" work. Yours truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ontario Hospital AssociationDear Brian, RE: Mystery Dinner Conference for Executive Secretaries & Administrative Assistants Park Ballroom, Inn on the Park FANTASTIC! EXCELLENT! GREAT FUN! LET'S HAVE IT AGAIN NEXT YEAR!! were a few of the enthusiastic comments received regarding the "Welcome Home, Billy Ray!" (or: Achy, Breaky, Murder!") evening. A fun time was had by all in attendance. The "Fun Nun" a.k.a. Sister Mary Christelle Macaluso from the Sisters of Mercy, Omaha, Nebraska actively participated and enjoyed it immensely. I gave her the "Mysteriously Yours" t-shirt you so graciously provided me with as a momento of her visit with us. Please pass these comments on to the actors/actresses involved they did a "super" job! Once again many thanks to you and your staff and we will be in touch for future programs. Kind regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ontario Hospital AssociationRE: Seminar for Hospital Auxiliaries This is the second year in a row we had Mysteriously Yours for the above-mentioned program and it was even better then last year (frankly, I don't know how that was possible)! The actors were simply "fantastic"! Their interaction with the registrants was terrific. They did a wonderful job and I would appreciate it if you would thank them personally on behalf of the group. "Jill" was the highlight of the evening and please let her know how much the group enjoyed the performance! With funding cuts, closures, mergers and downsizing in the health care industry I want to thank Mysteriously Yours for bringing "humour back into health care" as laughter is good for the soul! Brian, on a personal note, it has been a pleasure working with you these past few years. I'm moving out of the city and leaving OHA at the end of the month, however, don't be surprised if a group of us from the north show up at the Royal York one evening for "Mysteriously Yours"! Once again, thank you and I wish you and your group continued success with your future endeavours. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ontario Hospital AssociationDear Brian, Thank you for participating in the recently held conference "Educational Seminar for Hospital Auxiliaries: Towards the Year 2000." Once again, it was a pleasure working with you and I thank you for your contribution to the success of the conference. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ontario Teacher's Pension Plan BoardBrian, Thanks again for all your hard work in making the OTPP Investments Appreciation Dinner a huge success!!!! All morning, I've been receiving phone calls and emails from staff expressing their thanks and explaining what a blast they had last night. Mysteriously Yours Staff were really wonderful! They made all of our guests feel comfortable, and provided outstanding service. Special thanks goes to Alice, William and Alex - the were remarkably helpful last evening, and I appreciate their assistance tremendously. Comments that I've received so far are: "I was really surprised, it was a great night" "I was really skeptical about going, until I walked in the room. Looking around, I knew that it had to be good." "The actors were really funny, and they had great jokes" "Nobody from our Department had ever been to a murder mystery before, they had so much fun, and talked about it all morning" "I want to thank you for doing such an amazing job of organizing last night's event. I had an excellent time. Everything was first class!!!!!" "I want to thank you for doing such an amazing job of organizing last night's event. I had an excellent time. Everything was first class!!!!!!" "I just wanted to say thanks for your efforts in putting together the event last night. I thought it was both a great night (minus my part which I've gotten loads of heat for! and a great idea." Brian, thanks again and kind regards, S.G --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ontario Milk Marketing BoardDear Brian, On behalf of all the ladies that attended The Ontario Milk Marketing Board's Welcome Home Billy Ray Mystery production, I would like to thank you and all your performers for a wonderful afternoon. Everyone seemed to really enjoy it and I was accused afterwards of setting up a couple of the guests. Naturally, I played pretty stupid. The performance was something very different from what we have experienced over the last few years. I have always believed that everyone needs a change once in a while. Once again, thank you for a wonderful performance and best wishes to your company for all the shows ahead. Yours truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ontario Milk Transport AssociationDear Brian, Many thanks to you and your troupe for a super mystery evening last Saturday, October 25, 1997. Customizing the play made it incredibily humorous and certainly left the audience laughing. Thanks for a great evening. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ontario Principals' CouncilHello Camille: Thank you so much for all your help organizing the trip to theMystery Dinner Theatre for my group of principals. It was a huge success. The evaluation forms that we collect at each meeting were full of comments about how much fun they had at the dinner theatre. The food, the service and the show were all splendid. Please pass along our appreciation to everyone at the Mysteriously Yours. D.D Office Manager --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Osram Sylvania Ltd.Hello Brian! Just wanted to thank you and your team for a very memorable evening at our office facility in February. Once again, I found your troupe to be extremely entertaining and accommodating. We all died with laughter during the "Murder in Paradise" presentation. It has been a pleasure working with you. Regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oxford Properties GroupThanks Brian! We had a great time and I will pass your company's name on to other teams in our company if they are looking for something fun! A.F --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PPallett ValoDear Brian, Our staff are still talking about the Pallett Valo Reform School Reunion; it was definitely a hit! We're also very anixious to see the pictures, since our usual 'official photographer' didn't take any because you were doing so. As I mentioned to you at the event, I'm more than happy to pay for a set of prints, and would very much like to have them for our Christmas party on December 12. Please give me or my assistant, Maureen Strickland a call and let us know the amount. Thanks, yours very truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- L.P.Dear Brian: If we overlook my surprise and embarrassment at the announcement of my upcoming marriage to "Mr Barker" and my grief over his sudden demise, I think I can safely say we all had a terrific time. In fact, I'm quite certain I will be planning future evenings at the Royal York hotel. (Next time you plan to marry me off to a wealthy man, could you make sure he remains alive!) Thanks again for a very enjoyable evening. Sincerely, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pechiney Canada Inc.Dear Brian, This is a short note to express how much Pechiney Canada Inc. enjoyed the "The Mystery of the Maltese Blue Jay" at the Royal York Hotel on Saturday, December 2, 1995. Our group had a fabulous time (we're still laughing...). Your presentation of the mystery was very entertaining, your cast was excellent portraying their roles, and the whole evening was a lot of fun. I would highly recommend Mysteriously Yours.... to anyone interested in yourMystery Dinner Theatre. Once again, Pechiney Canada Inc. would like to thank you for making our 1995 Christmas Dinner such a memorable one! Yours very truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pension Investment Association of CanadaDear Brian, Sorry you beat me to it with your thank you note!! Time just passes too quickly. Keith and I just wanted to let you and your group know that our delegates thoroughly enjoyed our evening with Mysteriously Yours. Our conferences are generally heavy in content, and it appeared that the delegates appreciated the lightness of the presentation and enjoyed the interaction with your group. It was a pleasure meeting you Brian and my special thanks to "Mr. Schwaaaannnn Lake". Everytime he said that word I had to laugh. All the best with this new show, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personnel Association of OntarioDear Brian: Just a quick note to wish you and the folk at Mysteriously Yours a happy and profitable 1989. I am enclosing a copy of the article which appeared recently reviewing our November 9th murder mystery evening. As the article suggests and the survey we conducted confirms, everyone had a great time. Brian, again thanks very much for your efforts on our behalf. I hope our paths will cross again in the not-to-distant future. Yours truly, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Petro-CanadaThe show was fantastic!!! I have only heard good things about it from our conference attendees. R.P --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mysteriously Yours...
