Keith O’Leary and Margo Morrison are the creators behind the Murder Mystery USA. They are award winning writers, producers, and directors with extensive backgrounds in motion picture, television, and theatrical production. Since 1985 they have been responsible for over 7000 live and virtual mystery productions worldwide and have been featured in the print and television media in over 35 different countries.

“We do not do any of those done to death, clichéd, over the top, cheesy characters and plots” promised O’Leary. “We do a very present-day Law and Order or CSI approach with a lot of humor. You will not see any feather boas, cigarette holders, or French Maids in our productions. If you want to decorate, or wear costumes, go crazy. Our shows will work anywhere, with any motif.”
