Dying For Chocolate
Our chocolate murder mystery script, Dying For Chocolate, is a mouth-watering event filled with romance gone wrong, a carob cowboy and a secret ingredient; all wrapped in chocolate.
Requires 3 male and 3 female professional improv actors or eager amateurs, some props and minimal rehearsal time. Director notes tell you how to pull it all together. They are best performed as an improv script, with the dialogue being as a springboard into improvisation, but can also be used as a traditional scripts by memorizing the simple lines.

Loved, loved, loved Dying for Chocolate! It was so much fun to present and greatly received by our guests. Interest was so overwhelming we had to add 3 tables at the last minute. Very successful relative to interest in our ministry, ticket sales, donations, and the silent auction. We are reviewing scripts for this year’s event.
Thank you so much for the review Ann! Customer satisfaction is very important to me … and it doesn’t hurt sales either! I hope your next murder mystery event is even more successful!
I am interested in Dying for Chocolate. Community Theater in Salisbury, MD. One performance November 16.
I’ll send you a sample to check out.
Could we have a sample of “Dying for Chocolate” for review please? We are a small high school drama club and are looking for a dinner theater fundraiser.
Absolutely! I’ll get that right out to you. Interestingly, you are the third high school in three weeks to ask for a script sammple.
We are a 10 person group looking to do a ‘Radio type Murder Mystery’ for one performance. It is a free performance for seniors at a small art center. Duration should be approximately 30 minutes. Can you suggest a scripts for me? Thank you 🙂
Hello Georgeann! Thank you for your enquiry. None of the scripts I currently have fit into the format that would meet your needs but I love what you want to do. Audio is a fabulous medium for engaging an audience. Did you know that they use to crunch life savers into a microphone to get the sounds of crushing bones! So cool. In any case, have you tried contacting major radio stations that would have played actual radio murder mysteries? The might have some scripts in an archive. I have seen the old 2 minute Ellery Queen 50smysteries that aired in the … 50s maybe … were available online a couple of years back and probably still are. There might be half hour ones out there too. Good luck!
I ordered the script “Dying for Chocolate”. We are having our murder mystery this Saturday. I think we have everything else, but I don’t see the Chocoholics Anonymous card that Roy is supposed to have in his pockets. Could you send it to me please? Thank you!
Thank you so much for pointing that out Valerie. The cards are on their way to your inbox and that page has been inserted into the file. Appreciate you letting me know.
Hello! I represent a small theatre group that has done a couple murder mysteries in the past. I’m hoping to find another script to bring the group back together and hopefully performing on a more consistent basis again. Would it be possible to get a perusal of “Dying for Chocolate” to see if it would be a good fit for us and the venues we’re hoping to approach? Thank you so much!
I will get that right out to you Matthew. Please let me know what you think!
Hello, we would like to try a sample of this
You got it.
I would love a sample of Dying for Chocolate for a fledgling community theatre group. We’ve done one murder mystery so far, and our community is hungry for more. Thank you!
Would like a sample script of Dying for Chocolate. We are a small library located in western Pennsylvania. This will be our seventh year putting on a murder mystery.
Thanks for your interest in my scripts. Here is the script sample for Dying For Chocolate.
Please let me know if you have any questions once you get a chance to look it over.
That’s really cool, that you this is your seventh year doing a mystery. You community is so lucky and they probably think so too.
Hello, l’m
Looking for a mystery set in the 1920s in which the murder has already taken place. Do you have any that can be modified to a 2 hour show like that?
Hi Robin – I have no mysteries like that at this time. There have been a lot of requests for one though so I am making plans for one, but realistically, it will be a year or so out. Thank you for your inquiry!
Hi! We are looking at this script for a performance! Could we get a sample of this script sent to email? Thank you!
Headed to your inbox as we speak.
Juanita may I please get a sample script of Dying for Chocolate – hoping it will fit our group
Thanks
The script sample for The Shootout Saloon is ready and the script itself will be up on the website for sale sometime tomorrow. I will send you copies of both script samples. Let me know if you have any questions Allen. They should be in your inbox now. : )
Could I get a sample of Dying for Chocolate please ? Am I right that this is one for an audience to solve?
Yes Tracey, you are right. The audience solves the mystery. I’ll get that sample right out to you.
I would like a sample script of Dying for Chocolate. This will be for my church group so, I’m hoping it will a short script. I am so looking for a short mystery script to do for a fundraiser.

Can I get a sample script for Dying for Chocolate & Drop Dead Disco?
Thank you.
Coming at you!
We are thinking about doing a show in a 55+ community. The average age is 70. What would be a good script for that age? Can you send a sample script for us to look at?
Hi David – thanks for your interest in my scripts. All the scripts would be great. A big part of what makes a performance work well for a particular audience is when the actors are of a similar mindset rather than a theme or an age. Drop Dead Disco might work well. I’ll send you a sample of that and would be happy to send other samples as well if you like. The characters in my mysteries are written more based on occupation and relationship rather than a particular age bracket. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Can I have a sample script?
Just emailed it to you.
Hi, I purchased the “dying for chocolate” script today. Do you know when it will be emailed to me?
Thanks, chad
Hi Chad – thanks for getting in touch. I’ve resent the Mystery Factory receipt with the download link in it. It may have gone to your personal email the first time. Please let me know that you are able to access the script. If not, I will send it to you through email. Best, Juanita
Hello! Looking to see a sample of the Dying for Chocolate script fo a Valentines Dinner bash. Thanks so much!
You got it!
Juanita, i would love to get a sampler of the Dying for Chocolate script. We did a murder mystery a few months back for Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit in our space. We are hoping to put one on right after Valentines day and this script looks perfect for minimal rehearsal time and a great theme that would fit a date night!
You got it David. Please let me know if you have any questions.
This sounds like a lot of fun. WE usually have 100-150 people at our club fuctions and i think they would have a great time with this. Can you send a sample so i can present it to are council. Any help you can give me would be great. Have a great day and remember be HAPPY, HEALTHY, and SAFE
Thanks for your interest John. It is a lot of fun and your crowd sounds like the ideal size. I will send your sample right out. The best thing about murder mystery entertainment is it’s extreme flexibility and how forgiving it is – plus a low time commitment for the actors, as opposed to a script where you have to memorize lines. The characters can even make cheat sheets for their pockets, to check before doing each scene, to remind them what information they need to get out. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to chat.
Hello! I’m hosting a social event for our performing arts group and am very interested in viewing a sample of Dying for Chocolate. Thanks in advance!

requesting a sample script

I am planning a fundraiser for the Heart Assoc and thought this would be fun! We did a Roaring 20s many years ago on another murder game. That game we did it with actors going around the dinning room. Worked pretty well. Sounds like this would be even better! Since you send samples could you please send one to me too? Hope to do this early Feb. so do need to get myself into gear! THANK YOU!

At Your Service,

Comin’ atcha ya!
We’re very interested in this for a Community Theatre fundraiser. Sounds like fun for everyone. Can I get a copy of the sample script?
Please send a perusal sample. This sounds perfect for an upcoming local Chocolate Festival venue. Thank you.
You bet Pamela – it would be perfect for a Chocolate Festival. You know what they say: “Put “eat chocolate” at the top of your list of things to do today, that way at least you’ll get one thing done.” Let me know if you have any questions or send me your number if you want to chat on the phone.
Juanita, our community theatre group is ready to do this for a chocolate festival this week. We sold out at $50 a ticket within 2 weeks. It is going to be so much fun. We are beginning to plan our next season and want to include another mystery dinner. Please send a perusal of Gin Joint. Thank you!
Pamela Nygaard (aka Roxanne the Wrapper)
Thank you so much for posting this Pamela. Wish we could be there! Feel free to send / post pictures.
Is this a one act script. Please send a sample. Do the performers go to each table giving character clues and then the murder takes place? I would really appreciate a sample. Thank you
Hi Phyllis – Dying For Chocolate is a three act script. You can run the acts as closely as you want- it is tailored to work in a variety of formats to match the kind of event you wish to put on; will you be serving food? Snacks or Full Mean? Plated or Buffet? Part of another kind of celebration or function? You can break the three acts apart or run them consecutively. Actual performing time is 1 – 2 hours, varying with the amount of interaction the cast do with the audience or guests.
Clues come out during the scenes between the actors and are often ‘hardcopy’ (threatening letter, diary entry, lab reports) and put on a clue table for perusal – people can browse whatever is there and are given time to check it out before handing their solution sheet in). Sample on it’s way : )
Please send sample . Seems like it might fit our group but need to peruse. Thanks!
What is the target audience for this show? Would it be too suggestive for, say, a 15 year old?
Hi Spencer – Did you receive the script sample I sent you? That will give you a good idea of what the mystery is about. I think that it is family friendly entertainment but I wouldn’t want to make that call for anyone else. Since it is an ‘improv’ script as well, it depends also on how your actors play it. If you would like to email me your phone number we can talk and that might be more helpful to you.
Wondering if I could get a sample script after reading reviews. Looking for a project for my drama class. Thanks!
Vicki
You bet Vicki! Let me know if you want to talk about adapting it if you need to.
We are looking for something for our dinner theater productions and we have several restaurants in the area that would like to work with us. Please forward a sample of this script as I believe this is exactly what we are looking for.
Thank you!
Excellent! It should be in your email now. Let me know if you have any questions. I love to share my enthusiasm and experience.
We are looking for a murder mystery for a one-off dinner theatre evening. Would it be possible to see a sample of the scripts for Dying for Chocolate and Drop Dead Disco? Also, are the royalties charged in Canadian dollars?
Hi Claire – Yes, all royalties are in Canadian dollars. The script samples should be in your email box. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
Hi, I’m interested in seeing a sample script; I’d like to add this show to our 2015-16 season, if appropriate for our venue. (I’d need to see it pretty darn quick, as we’re finalizing our season today – sorry, just now found your website!)
Thanks!
It’s on its way to your inbox! Please let me know if you have any further questions.
