Happy Hallowintersgiving to you!
Boy, the Fall is churning up some crazy weather for us here in the Denver area! And while things may be running hot and cold outside MO Productions is percolating with activity!!
We are in rehearsals for our new holiday show, Columbo and the Case of the Country Christmas Killer, and the cast is simply having a blast. We are featuring actors new and old with this show, and it’s a great fit so far! The cast features Victor Ferrer (one of our Billy Mays in As Slain on TV) and veteran MO Pro actor Rob Purper (Jack in Will & Grace: Who Killed Stan?) splitting the role of Billy Ray Butternuts, Jaclyn Snyder (one of our Karens in Will & Grace: Who Killed Stan?) as Hannah Bonanza, MO Pro Stage Manager Dan Bergman as Bobby Ray Buttersquash, myself as Columbo, and newcomer Nancy Quines as Miss Kitty Bonanza. Come attend Miss Kitty’s Christmas Jamboree and see what drama unfolds while we celebrate the season with dancing, singing and other merriment. We’ve even been fortunate enough to have local Country-Western Dance Instructor Billy Whitaker stop by rehearsals and help us with our Two-Steppin’ and also choreograph a line dance for the whole audience to join in! Thank you, Billy!! If you want to brush up on your Two-Steppin’ or Line Dancin’, Billy teaches FREE classes every Wed, Thu, Fri & Sat at 8:00 p.m. @ Charlie’s Denver, 900 E Colfax Ave, Denver, 80218. Come on out! Maybe you’ll run into our cast gettin’ some extra practice in!
This special show is running for only 4 weekends at The Broker Restaurant starting November 27th, and seats are already starting to fill up! This show is family-friendly, however gunshots are fired, so small children may get frightened.

We will actually be opening “Columbo” the weekend before Thanksgiving on Saturday, Nov 19 at Cherokee Ranch & Castle in Sedalia, CO. However, this public show was been sold out for over a month!! We were not able to add any other public performances at the Castle for this year, but are working on scheduling more performances for 2012 at this fantastic venue! If you have never been, the facility is literally a castle built in the middle of a ranch. Formerly a private residence, the castle is now part of the Cherokee Ranch & Castle Foundation and used for public and private events throughout the year. Visit their website and join their e-mail list to stay in the loop about our performances there: www.cherokeeranch.org. Our public performances there have all sold out within about 2-3 weeks from the time the reservations are made available!
Even though we are crazy busy with all this, MO Productions also getting our new 2012 season ready to go. We are in the process of writing The Grapes of Death: A Vintage Murder Mystery, which will be a wine tasting/vineyard owners themed show set in the 1940s, and then also getting ideas ready for Match Game Murder Mystery and The Dick Van Dead Show, which will round out the end of 2012 into 2013. And after the holidays we will start back up with our two current shows, As Slain on TV and Will & Grace: Who Killed Stan?
We will be taking a holiday break from December 19 through January 1 and will not be available for performances during that time. However, you may call and inquire about booking us anytime at 303.408.4246.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support. Your word of mouth is our best advertisement and we appreciate you, our audience, so very very much!
Kind Regards,
Matthew D. Osmun – Owner/Producer/Director
