To.

Tonylou Productions grew out of our original theater company, The Lakeside Players. When we began The Lakeside Players Community Theater Company over a decade ago, we needed to do some simplier productions to raise funds for more elaborate shows. Murder Mystery Dinner Theater Shows seemed like a good idea. But we needed a script package. We searched the web and found a lot out there, but nothing that interested us, or that we could afford. Being writers by profession, we decided to give it a shot ourselves and began writing a show. It was a huge success! So, we wrote another one. And then another one. And another........ you get the picture. We discovered we enjoy creating new shows as much as we enjoy performing them! And we also enjoy watching others perform our shows, too! Our shows have been performed throughout the United States, Canada, and Great Britain.

If you produce one of our shows near us, we'd love to come and see it! We've had the pleasure of seeing quite a few productions close enough for us to travel. One of our greatest pleasures is seeing someone else bring our characters to life. So keep us posted. If you're close enough for us to travel, we'd love to come!
