Columbo's Crazy CaperText Box: Columbo’s Crazy Caper (Original Run November 2008 - April 2009) It’s the Lizzie Borden High School of Queens, NY Class of 1979’s Reunion, and Andy Quartz, owner of Mr. Andy’s Hair Emporium and the Acting Class President, is ready to give his former classmates a great time, as this is the first reunion ever for the class since the high school burned down on Graduation Day in 1979. Along for the ride with Andy is his best friend/lackey, Myron Quackenbush, who is quite possibly the strangest nerd you’ll ever meet. Myron has been following Andy around since kindergarten, even though he’s constantly being insulted by Andy. Andy flits about greeting his former classmates when who should stumble into the reunion, but America’s favorite crumpled detective, saying he’s stuck at the facility while his wife is visiting with a friend. Despite Andy’s objections, Columbo manages to convince everyone to let him stay at the reunion while he waits. Just when Andy is trying to get the evening back on track, who shows up but his former high school nemesis, Wanda Wasserstien, the Class President who allegedly died in the school fire back in 1979. Andy and Wanda start fighting, but they manage to put their differences aside long enough to have a disco dancing contest with their classmates. In the midst of all this, Myron falls head-over-heels for a former classmate named Nancy Sludge, a lot of secrets about the Class of ‘79 are revealed, and someone dies! Good thing Columbo’s there to solve the case!!   Due to sexual humor, this show is rated PG-13. A full blackout occurs, gunshots are fired and hairspray is sprayed on/near some audience members.

Text Box: Shop ‘Til You Drop… Dead (Original Run May 2009 - December 2009)  The store owners and managers of the Fountain Commons Mall are meeting for a quarterly gathering to plan for the upcoming holiday and present sales awards, discuss complaints from the public and staff, etc. Also allegedly on the agenda is the topic of the mysterious “Vandal” who’s been breaking into stores and causing other general unpleasantness to the tenants at the Fountain. Among the attendees are Delia Kalthart, a bitchy jewelry store manager, Dawn Light, the sweet manager of Karen’s Cardmark, Carol Strauss, the ditzy manager of Haldman Books, Maynard Katz, the beatnik owner of Kool Katz Cappuccino & More, Cookie Sugarman, the owner of a new beauty salon/Jewish bakery, Brad Bonetritt, manager of Random Play music store, and Phil Grayson, the mall manager that no one likes. As it becomes apparent a lot of these people don’t like each other, it’s no surprise someone ends up dead. Who’s causing all this mayhem at the mall, and will he/she be brought to justice? Due to sexual humor, this show is rated PG-13. A full blackout occurs and gunshots are fired. Audience participation includes the mall information booth staff, the head janitor, the sporting goods store manager, a beat poetess, and three lucky men to “audition” to be the mascot for the upcoming holiday.
