 How Three Card Monte Changed My LifeAbout 15 years ago when I was a young, struggling actor in Hollywood, I auditioned for a co-star appearance on the NBC sit-com, "Wings".

Halloween Vampire Murder Mystery At El Cid LASharpo Incorporated’s interactive murder mystery dinner theater production of “ THE EL CID VAMPIRE Mystery” opens Friday, October 2nd and playing all month at El Cid Dinner Theater on Sunset Blvd in Los Angeles. This show marks our 5th month of mystery, intrigue, suspense and laughter at the historic and hidden gem of Silver Lake. This hit show sells out almost every Friday night. Can A House Kill A Person?Nora and I write our own murder mysteries for our dinner theater gig at the El Cid in Silver Lake. Every month we switch the plots and characters because many patrons keep coming back. We were all set this month to open "Where There is Smoke" about a house fire - but here in Los Angeles fires are currently running wild and people are evacuating their homes. We decided to change the story. What we came up with was 'Murder House". Redesigning Our Murder Mystery Website For Today's UsersNora and I have a Murder Mystery, Comedy, Magic Show and Dinner Theater business. We are a very small California corporation. Our website is the leveling field that provides us the opportunity to act like a big corporation. Whenever we make any changes to our site it is with trepidation and no small amount of anxiety. Still, we moved ahead and re made our site for today's "Twittersized" attention spans. The Secret Ingredient in Sharpo Murder MysteriesI have been playing "Detective Sharp" since 1989. I love my gig. In 2003 I started Sharpo Entertainment Productions which became Sharpo Incorporated in 2003. I don't claim to have invented interactive murder mystery theater. I think that with my macabre cast of characters and terrific performers we have come closer than any other troupe in perfecting this performing art form. Of course the terrific scripts and diabolical plots are the solution to a great murder mystery event. for this, I Company Party EntertainmentI watched an episode of “The Office” last night. They were having their company party office awards. I was laughing and cringing at the same time. Steve Correll’s character was so politically incorrect. The employees sat un-amused at the lame jokes and the song parodies. I thought to myself, what’s funny about this is just how bad it is. It also highlighted the need for really good corporate entertainment that is clean, acceptable, and fun. LA Dinner TheaterThis is your invitation...to murder! Sharpo! Incorporated is proud to bring our highly acclaimed interactive hit murder mystery show to the historic El Cid Dinner Theater in the Silver Lake area of Los Angeles.
