About Backstage Productions

Backstage is an entertainment company originally formed by Don Disantis to promote his orchestra and vocal engagements throughout Northeast Ohio.

Whether your looking for live music, mystery shows, Renaissance shows, comedians, or any other type of entertainment, give us a call at 440-567-3532 and let us help you make your next event a special one. Check out our SLIDE SHOW. Click here.

This much fun can KILL you!

If you are looking for a break from the ordinary and usual forms of entertainment, let Backstage Productions present you and your guests with an interactive mystery show. It's sure to put a smile on the faces of those who attend. I don't know why, but people seem to enjoy seeing a crime occur right in front of their very eyes! Particularly when the poor victim later takes several bows at the conclusion of the show. And our actors, excuse me, victims never miss an opportunity to take a bow.

Your job, as detectives, is to gather information from the characters so you can figure out "who done it" and why. Who knows, if you are any good at this, there may be a job for you at the FBI.

And these characters are CHARACTERS.

Da "Boys" Tony "Tommy Gun" Testardo, Paulie "Punchie" Provologne, Sean, "The Irishman" O'Casey, Frankie "Big Money" Russo, Herman "The Vermin" Heinrich, and Sir Reginald Smyth Benton are just a few of the fascinating characters you may encounter at one of our mysteries.

Da "Girls" You'll just love Tina "Pinky" Martelli, and her cousin, Andrea "Little Pinky" Martelli. Not to be out done, you may come across a "Toots," a "Babe," or a "Doll." Don't think of them as being very domestic, though. The only laundry they do is with $$$. And don't let them fool you. As soon as you think you've found your "Little Mary Sunshine," she will likely rain on your parade.

These, and many more colorful characters await you for your next party or corporate event. A variety of mystery "Themes" is available for you to choose from, with many features tailored to your specific organization or group. Please give us a call to discuss pricing details, Mysrery Packages, and Themes. I'm sure we can find a way to "Make you an offer you can't refuse!"

Our Next Productionwill be Friday, April 9, 2010 at the Banquet Center at St. Noel, 35200 Chardon Road, Willoughby Hills 44094. Our show, "OH DANNY BOY" is an adventure surrounding not only two families, but two cultures: The Irish, and the Italians. Now there's a heartburn waiting to happen!
 
When Daniel “Danny Boy” Fitzpatrick, the only son of the president of the Dockworkers Union, Patrick Fitzpatrick, is blown to bits in a car bombing, both tears and beers begin to flow with certain regularity. At the wake of Danny Boy, Tony Marinzano, local mobster, shows up to pay his respects only to be greeted with accusations from Patrick, and the grieving mother, Irene. It is well known that Tony wants to take over control of the lucrative funds from the Dockworkers, and the distinct possibility exists that Tony was involved in the bombing. But who knows for sure? Top notch investigative reporter, Carol Tuesday, from the Cleveland Plain Dealer, is on hand to get to the truth, while the famous homicide detective, Sean O’Grady III, has his hands full with these and some other strange characters. He may need your help, so stay alert and be careful.
 
THE SETTING
 
            The setting for the wake of poor Danny Boy is a banquet hall as famous for their food as for their alcohol. What did you expect?! It’s an Irish wake! All of the guests are there to show their respect for the dearly departed in typical Irish fashion; drink, eat, drink, and drink. Come dressed for an Irish wake, be prepared to solve the mystery, and in case I forgot to mention - drink!
 
Arrive by 6:30 for cocktails and appetizers. At 7:15 you will get some important information from our stage manager to help you get started. The show begins at 7:30 and continues through dinner.
 
For the low price of $35.00 per person you get a fablous dinner (see menu at left), a great show and so much fun, it could kill you!
 
Make your reservations by calling: 440-946-6635.
