Holmes commands the proceedings and is convincing as the shrewd amateur sleuth…the show is a good one and the audience obviously enjoys being amateur detectives.” The Wee Review Edinburgh, Scotland

“Defend yourself of murder charges and riff with this clever performer! It’s a total party!” Frontrowcenter.com

“Prudence Wright Holmes the single performer, is absolutely wonderful and fully embodied the hilarious role, from her abhorrence regarding anything modern or immoral, to her tuneless singing of the national anthem.”

Michael Ritchie, fellfromfiction.com

“Prudence Wright Holmes boldly and confidently leads the audience interaction. She’s a natural director of the nonsensical.”

Jodie McVicar, Broadway Baby

Prudence Wright Holmes is clearly a skilled comic improviser. The venue was full and the audience appeared to be enjoying it very much.”

Peter Cowell,  Westendwilma.com

 Great show! Lots of fun, engaging and good laughs!

Deena Flowers, Producer, Hardly Working Productions

Thoroughly enjoyed this show, despite ending up on stage! Loved the participation from the other audience members who all played along. It takes a confident performer to involve that many randoms in their show. My friends and I definitely recommend it.

Karen Broadly

Really the pleasure was ours!  Your show was so fun – the audience really joined enthusiastically.  I hope we can work together in the future. Kathleen Georgalis, Assistant to Director, Albert Wisner Library, Warwick, NY

This show was so much fun! I was laughing from the minute Miss Marbles, played by Prudence Wright Holmes, opened her mouth. The show was very inventive and everyone there enjoyed all the interaction and ad libs. Prudence is so great at keeping things moving and is full of quips. I would highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys murder mysteries and being part of a great show!

Molly Calhoun

This show is great, great fun. Come ready to play and participate. Miss Marbles KNOWS there’s something suspicious going on and YOU are part of it. A great show for families and groups (egg on your friends), full of laughs and surprises as well as a real mystery to be solved.

Margot Avery

Absolutely bonkers fun. A wacky murder mystery like you’ve never experienced before with a delightful blend of silly names and audience involvement. Great for the young ones, too! Help solve the crime and have a laff!

Michael Peterson

PRUDENCE HOLMES IN AGATHA CHRISTIE IS MISSING WAS EXTRAORDINARY. I’VE NEVER HAD SO MUCH FUN IN THE THEATER. IT WAS WITTY, CLEVER AND EXTREMELY ENTERTAINING. IT’S DEFINITELY A MUST-SEE. I WAS AMAZED AND IMPRESSED HOW SHE WAS ABLE TO RECALL OF THE OF THE NAMES, EVENTS AND WEAVE THE MYSTERY IN SUCH A CLEVER FASHION AND THE AUDIENCE INVOLVEMENT WAS A UNIQUE TOUCH. IT’S A SHOW NOT TO BE MISSED!

Marjorie Johnson

Super fun! Kept the audience engaged, never knowing what comes next. Loved the props & all the zany characters & notes.

Mari Matsumoto

came with my family, including some young ones and we all loved the show. It was so funny from beginning to end. Ms. Holmes kept us engaged and there was literally never a dull moment. She is a gifted comedienne and clearly someone I want to see more of. Her ad libbing is priceless and the audience was with her all the way. This is a show I highly recommend to anyone who wants to have fun, who likes murder mysteries and has a good sense of humor.

Richard Arenson

Fun show with audience participation, enjoyable entertainment and worth checking out.
