Murder Café, the Hudson Valley’s premier comedy murder mystery entertainment company is looking for actors for its busy 2026 season. Now in its 28th year, Murder Café performs an average of 50 shows a year at a variety of venues.
 
We are seeking male and female actors 21+ who can play strong comic characters – without a fourth wall in a dinner theater setting. Our shows are scripted but allow for audience interaction. Improvisation and creativity are encouraged. Actors must have reliable transportation although we have carpooling opportunities for most shows.
 
Our productions this year include: Murder at the Speakeasy, The Last Laugh, Murder at the Mic and Haunted Halloween Beauty Pageant.
 
We work fast. There are usually six - eight rehearsals for each new production.
 
Actors are paid a stipend for each performance and dinner is included.
 
Contact us at murdercafe.ny@gmail.com to request sides, ask questions and to confirm your audition appearance.
