The 3 Little Pigs and The Big Bad Surprise
A mix of improv, storybook, audience participation, and choose your own adventure: we rotate several original shows for a live, family-friendly audience!
“The 3 Little Pigs and the Big Bad Surprise” is our current production.
Each performance features professional actors portraying your favorite 3 Little Pigs, but no Big Bad Wolf is in sight! Instead, every show has a unique guest character who is out to catch our favorite pig-faced heroes! This is the story you know and love with an insane (and remarkably hilarious) twist that makes every show unique.
Bronson, the weight-lifting muscle-ham, brings his bricks! This little piggy has always known a threat like this could come their way, so he has been hitting the gym and drinking his protein milk to prepare for the day. Out of all the piggies, Bronson is the most ready to take on the challenge that awaits. But are his muscles more for show than for obstacles? Let’s find out together.
Mary-Beth, the lasso-swinging ranch ham, brings her straw! This little piggy is a sweet, southern sausage (S.S.S.) and is looking to get her farm in order (her farm is her home–don’t worry, no cannibalism here). Mary-Beth is the friendliest of the little piggies and will do her best to get volunteers involved in the show and join her big, happy hog family.
Stardust, the wand-wielding magic-mastering-ham, brings their stick! This little piggy has abilities, unlike any other piggy. To you, a stick is just a stick, but to Stardust, it is a gateway into the realm of fantasy and enchantments! If you like magic, you’ll love meeting Stardust! Let’s hope the Big Bad doesn’t have the perfect counterspell.
But against who?
You’ve met the Big Bad Wolf, but there is no telling who the Big Bad might be in our show! We challenge one of our actors to play a brand new Big Bad every show. Maybe it’s Darth Vader! Perhaps it’s an Italian chef! Maybe it’s Old McDonald! Maybe it’s a shark! Maybe it’s Mama Pig! Maybe it’s Thanos! “Big Bad” suggestions are welcome from anyone making a booking, but we have over three dozen family-friendly characters ready to present.
Grab your straw, sticks, and bricks, and witness a unique experience every time you take your seat.

Interactive Murder Mystery
In the last 16 years, HSE founder Lenton Lees has perfected the Interactive Murder Mystery & Improvised Script formula in Newnan. He & his team have brought record-breaking attendance, dates per year, and financial success through completely original stories and characters, and now you can bring those stories to your home or business!
What is an interactive murder mystery?
Unlike traditional “dinner theatre,” an interactive murder mystery lets the characters, clues, and murder loose within the audience. In an improvised show with a suggested script, our veteran actors can be acknowledged and investigated throughout the evening (if the actor lives through it), and our professional actors will make educated decisions on the fly to ensure the event never goes out of control or the immersion gets busted.
Each actor will be made evident by their costume and ID card, every audience member will be given an introduction sheet/QR Code with an explanation, and the event will conclude with you proving yourself as the top detective. Collect your clues, question your suspects, and get lost in our world!
What do you need?
It would help if you had a venue with at least one private room for our cast & crew and if we had at least one chance to “scope it out” in the month before the event. After that, the cost of the event pays for everything else!
Though the High Spirits Team will offer prizes to the top detective work, Venue hosts are encouraged to provide an additional prize for the winning team or player. Promotional material will be provided by High Spirits Entertainment.
What’s the story?
We offer 2 Original Interactive Murder Mysteries that can work for an intimate private room, a house party, or any large venue. Our formats can be adapted for your individual needs and we are always adding new scripts to our database.
Lions & Tigers & Bears OH MY
This show is designed for school aged children and avoids using graphic and disturbing choices, such as murder and suicide. But this show does deal with death and investigating what happened.
At a private showing at Zoo Town Texas, a feisty zoo keeper attempts the ultimate challenge: teaching animals to talk. While he finds a lot of success in his endeavors, he didn’t expect it to reignite an intense feud between the lion, tiger, and bear–OH MY!
Cast Size: 5
Rating: PG
Runtime: 80 minutes
Notes: The guests in Lions & Tigers & Bears are encouraged to dress as animals and the cast will respond to them appropriately.
Happy Birthday, Santa Claus! A Holly Jolly Murder Mystery
You better watch out. You better not pout. I’ll tell you why: there’s been a murder at Santa’s 1900th Birthday celebration and you’re all a prime suspect! After Santa wakes up more depressed than festive, the naughty lists grows at recording breaking rates, because Santa can find something wrong with everyone! Mrs. Claus, Mall Santa, Elf on the Shelf, and Scrooge come together to help (or hurt) Santa before Christmas is destroyed from within.
Guests will take on the roles of themselves if they want to be suspects on the naughty list. They may also choose the role of an elf, but will be asked to assist in key storyline moments.

Til Death Do Us Part – A Vampire Wedding Rehearsal
Albie Ratback & Velveteen Flair seem like the perfect couple:
- They respect each other.
- They share responsibilities.
- They talk through their insecurities.
- They make time for intimacy.
The ONLY thing that could drive them apart is maybe the itty-bitty fact that Velveteen is a vampire Princess set to inherit her father’s enchanted fortune, and Albie is just a good-ole southern boy set to go fishing and drink a PBR.
Choose your side of the family and join in the drama on this night of unearthed secrets, disappointed parents, and the highest stakes imaginable: immortality or death!
Cast Size: 5
Rating: PG – 13
Runtime: 2 hours
Notes: The guests in “Til Death Do Us Part” will choose to represent members of the Ratback Family or the Flair Dynasty, resulting in unique experiences between them and the actors.
Election Night of the Living Dead – A Political Mystery Controlled by Your Votes
Dress your finest for the Election Night Party to the stars! Literally. Because Action Movie Megastar Aaron “Rock Hard” Rebel is the favorite to become the next President of the United States! That is if his dark past doesn’t come to light to get him canceled. Meanwhile, the opposing candidate, desperate for some validation, reimagines the corpse of George Washington to get his endorsement–and perhaps something much worse.
When all of Rebel’s frustrated and desperate political opponents show up to his party, things quickly go from “Celebratory” to “Ultra Gory.” In a flash, everything begins going Anti-Aaron, and his only saving grace is if the guests at his party can break the Presidential tie-breaker. Will you swing things back in his favor before his rivals become our Commander and Cheat? Or will you determine “Rock Hard” too soft for The White House?
Guests will choose celebrity personas to get them through the night and will cast the final votes to unlock one of our multiple-ending possibilities.

About the Director
Lenton Lees has written fourteen Improvised Scripts and is excited about independently offering Murder Mysteries, as this is his first time working with his own crew and venues.
An improvised script is void of direct dialogue and instead offers suggestions, storyline beats, blocking, audience participation directions, and finale choices. The actors’ responsibility is to feel the crowd’s energy and direct the show themselves as it goes along.
This format is popular in “Murder Mysteries” and “Improv Shows,” which Lenton Lees has directed professionally for 15+ years. The cast for all High Spirits Entertainment productions has experience in live theatre, mainstage productions, and improv comedy.
