6/5/2002 - STAFF REPORTS (19)
DATE: June 5, 2002 TO City Council FROM: Director of the Downtown Development Center and Director of Community and Economic Development APPROVE LEASE AMENDMENT NO. 3 FOR PALM CANYON THEATRE AT FRANCES STEVENS PARK RECOMMENDATION: That City Council approve a Minute Order to amend the Lease Agreement with Palm Canyon Theatre, Inc. at 538 North Palm Canyon Drive in order to extend the term of the existing amended lease to April 30, 2007 and to approve a lease amendment in a form acceptable to the City Attorney. SUMMARY: In 1997, City Council approved a five year lease with Palm Canyon Theatre at 538 North Palm Canyon Drive in Frances Stevens Park. This lease commenced on May 1, 1997 with termination on April 30, 2002, and included a provision for one (1) Extension Option for five (5) years. On January 18, 2002 Palm Canyon Theatre, Inc. formally submitted a "notice of intent to exercise option to extend lease" to the Director of Community and Economic Development. If approved by City Council, this would extend the term of this lease to April 30, 2007 at a rental rate of$1,400 per month with annual CPI rental rate adjustments and interest charges for any late rent payments. This amended lease is to be formally reviewed each year by staff, and performance reports submitted to City Council prior to continuing with the next year's program for Palm Canyon Theatre at this location. Also, this tenant is responsible for correcting outstanding code related improvements as identified by the City's Building Official. Where possible, Palm Canyon Theatre is encouraged to include other local theater groups within the scheduling of the City's facility. BACKGROUND: The City's current lease with Palm Canyon Theatre, Inc. is a "charitable lease", since the tenant is a non-profit corporation. Therefore, the lease rate is permitted to be at a below market rate value. Currently, per its amended lease, the tenant exclusively occupies 10,755 square feet of building floor area at the monthly rental rate of$1,290. Over the past five years, the tenant has made over $300,000 in tenant improvements to this property, including $18,450 in improvements to common area facilities which are supposed to be the responsibility of the City . On June 17, 1998, City Council approved Lease Amendment No. 2 which credited the tenant's rent in this amount. NA Palm Canyon Theatre Lease Page Two June 5, 2002 Also, a fire during the month of June, 2000 destroyed a portion of the leased premises, including a rehearsal room, public restrooms, tool room and costume shop. This fire damage, coupled with the extended period of time required by the City to make the necessary repairs, has significantly constrained the tenant's ability to operate successfully at this location. These repairs were just recently completed. Nick Singer, the City's staff person responsible for Revenue Recovery has worked diligently over the past several months to allow rent offsets in consideration of this problem, and yet as of April 12, 2002, the tenant remained $5,772.87 behind in rent payments. On this date, the tenant promised to pay the full amount due in order to correct this situation prior to requesting City Council to extend the term of the lease and this was in fact accomplished on this same date. Section 2.2 "Option Term" of the lease reads as follows: `If tenant is in default on the date of giving the option notice, the notice shall be totally ineffective, or if the tenant is in default on the date the extended term is to commence, the extended term shall not commence and this Lease shall expire at the end of the initial term or properly exercised extended term." The tenant was in default on January 18, 2002, the date that they issued the "notice of intent to exercise option to extend lease". They did become current on their rent on April 12, 2002. Since the Palm Canyon Theatre has worked very hard to become a valued component of the Palm Springs "arts and entertainment" community and has struggled in this endeavor, staff recommends that the term of their lease be extended by City Council for a term of five years, or until April 30, 2007, at the rental rate of$1,400 per month with annual CPI escalators and interest charges for past due rent. This recommendation is conditioned upon staff receiving a current operating profit/ loss statement and accounts payable aging report as well as a written commitment from the tenant to work diligently with staff over the next three months to correct any deficiencies in these documents and the required tenant improvements as identified by the City's Building Official. 141 Palm Canyon Theatre Lease Page Three June 5, 2002 DE Y A OG URN Dir ct�r ow own D velopment C nter �' v 7/i� J\OHN AYMOf4D' Direetor of Community and Economic Development APPROVED f`? e f City Manager / ATTACHMENTS: 1.

However, the intent of the original lease was to provide for a ten year amortization of the improvements made by the lessee; it was constructed as a five-and-five so that if, at the end of the first five years, the theater was unsuccessful, the lessee would not be burdened with an additional five years. At the time of the original lease, the theater did not exist in its current state: it was the gymnasium of the old Frances Stevens School. It was the investment of the lessee (at least $300,000) that created what is today a 231-seat theater with sound, lights, and a rotating stage. The argument that the City has a beautiful facility that shouldn't be wasted on the PCT is cast in a different light when the point is made that the PCT's investment actually created the theater facility, not the City's. Additionally, the original purpose of the lease, from the City's perspective, was to install a professional theater company in the building that could anchor the park and begin to create the Frances Stevens Arts Academy to match the festival center concept within the rest of the park. The regular cultural activities of the theater were seen as a way of moving the "arts & entertainment" concept that was beginning to take hold in the downtown area into the then- struggling Uptown area. That effort today can be seen as largely successful, notwithstanding the difficulties faced by the PCT over that term. The surrounding vacant land uses—the Spanish Inn, the Peppertree Inn, and the Palm Springs Hotel—are all now in various states of rehab, the latter as The Corridor project. The uses at the north end of downtown, too, are also stronger than they were in 1997. While the PCT cannot take all of the credit for the additional activity, the fact that the park has become a cultural focus for the entire community has increased the value of all of the property around it. Frequently Asked Questions about the PCT Lease Having read the other proposal and listened over the past few weeks to other interested parties debate the PCT lease, staff has prepared a summary of most of the assertions made along with some answers. Why are we not doing an RFP, given the other interest in the facility? The renewal of the lease was delayed by the arrival of a competing proposal and accompanying petition urging the rejection of the PCT lease renewal and the opening of a competitive process. The other proposal did in fact propose to pay a higher rent, as well as "open up" the theater to a broad coalition of other organizations. However, after reading the lease, staff determined that the original lease did contemplate a total of ten years: five years of lease with a relatively automatic five year extension. PCT did seek to exercise the option, but did so in January — about 18 days after the lease requires. Since they have now cured the default of the back rent, the City would need to use the 18-day-late notice as the legal basis of not renewing the lease. This type of technicality used to terminate the lease seems monumentally unfair, given the physical condition of the facilities over the past 24 months due to the fire, as well as the financial impacts to the theater from the fire and the construction of the fountain. Therefore, rather than listening to the argument that the lease extension is somehow an improper"done deal," it is important to understand that PCT was already in a lease that contemplated a problem-free extension. Is having an Artist's Equity theater important? Artist's Equity has certified via letter that PCT is the only regional Equity theater in the Coachella Valley, despite other assertions. It is likely to remain the only Equity house for the foreseeable future. In order to earn an Equity card — like a Screen Actors Guild card — an actor must earn credits through performances in Equity theaters, as well as work stints in costuming, set design, lighting, and box office. PCT runs an internship program to help young actors earn their Equity credits: these interns form the backbone of the PCT's support staff and dramatic company. Once in Equity, an actor must be paid the Equity minimum, and must never, ever be asked to work on Mondays, for example. The Equity house must be diligent about royalty payments and balance the Equity actors with non-Equity (i.e. free) actors, in order to keep ticket prices competitive. Running an Equity company is more expensive but worth it in the long run. Equity ensures the quality of the production, and the quality ensures the continued loyalty of the audience. It is arguable that the Equity quality is what preserved the majority of the audience for PCT during the two seasons that they had portable restrooms in the parking lot. A community theater, always a tenuous enterprise, would likely not have survived that test. If we didn't do the lease with the PCT, would there still be an Equity contract there? No. The PCT holds the Equity contract, not the building. It is unlikely that Equity would grant another contract to another Valley theater. What about the idea of opening the theater up to other users? The PCT has, over its history, rented space to other performers or groups during its "down"time. Sometimes this has worked well and sometimes it hasn't. The most frequent request of those renting space, however, is to be able to use the "building's" staff to run the lights, sound, etc. Some groups have asked for use of the box office facilities as well. Usually the amount of rent the group is willing to pay does not cover the additional cost to PCT to provide staff. (The "building" has no employees.) The building would also have to compete against other venues in the City, such as the Annenberg Theatre and the Palm Springs High School Auditorium, both of which are larger and superior facilities. Still, the idea has merit within those parameters and PCT has offered to look again at groups that may have had a presence there once and are no longer there. More successful has been the collaboration with performers on developing new events or entertainment, such as The Big Show on First Fridays. What kind of outreach and educational programs does the theater do? 1 s�A� PCT is a 501(c)3 non-profit with a cultural and educational mission. The lease reflects its non- profit status. While the cultural mission is evident, the biggest educational program the PCT runs is its Summer Camp, now in its sixth year. There students 8 to 18 learn all aspects of theater, including acting (of course), set design, props, costuming, lighting, and makeup. The PCT is also available for school field trips. A recent field trip was run like a mini-camp: the children rehearsed a play for several days, and then went to the theater to perform it. There they received lessons on movement and blocking, some costuming, and full makeup. What about the effects of the fire? How were those felt? The fire was obviously devastating to the PCT. It destroyed a rehearsal and set-building room on the south side of the building, and also destroyed most of the PCT's costumes in the costume shop. Fortunately, the fire came at the end of the regular season so, while the summer camp was immediately impacted, the PCT could sufficiently recover for the following season. Nevertheless, the lack of indoor restrooms for nearly two years had a gradual, but devastating, effect on season ticket sales and the box office. The loss of a set-building shop, too, created problems over the past few years; the Council is familiar with how precious set- construction and set-storage space is from dealing with the same issues at the Plaza Theater. Because of the nature of the ownership and the lease of the property, the rebuilding of the theater represented the worst combination of an insurance claim and a public works project, causing the design to stretch out and the construction to be performed in fits and starts over a long period. When the City's Public Works Department was finally asked to intercede in the project, it had already gone on over 15 months — and took another four months to finish. Is the theater actually paying the electric bill for the fountain? Yes. One of the unknown facts about the fountain is that the electricity to run it has come from the theater's service since the fountain was built. That issue was raised during the first lease negotiation session by the PCT representatives. None of the City staff at the meeting were aware of the fact and were sure it was not the case, but it turns out to be true. The original contractor installed a "demand" meter, rather than a regular Edison meter, on the fountain's service, without notifying the City that he was doing so. A demand meter is one that the City should have been reading in order to calculate the electricity usage, and then reimburse PCT. There is no separate billing from Edison on that meter. Obviously, the City would not have approved this arrangement had it been known at the time, but it reflects another shortcut on the part of the fountain contractor. A new Edison service is now being installed, and the calculation of what the City (specifically, Public Art) owes the PCT is being done. Ironically, it may turn out that the City owes the PCT an amount in excess of the prior delinquency on rent, which exacerbated an already lean year for the theater. Could the City manage the facility as a rental facility? Creating another City-owned "stage for hire"would cost the City money rather than make it money. The Plaza Theater, owned by the CRA, is successful because of the strong, single artistic vision of its tenant, the Fabulous Palm Springs Follies. Conversely, the Springs Theater at the Convention Center will be converted next year to group meeting space because the yield per square foot is significantly higher in a flat room. Any operator, including the City, that desired to rent the space out on a regular basis will need to be prepared to provide (and probably hire) staff ranging from electricians and janitors to ushers and box office personnel. /rd7 The cost to another organization to lease the facility, then, would be proportionately higher. Staff is comfortable that the PCT is positioned to succeed, now that is entering its sixth season and the major issues with the building have been addressed. New board leadership, too, should ensure continued improvement in compliance with all the terms of a new lease. Finally, the lease extension contains provisions that provide information necessary to the City and the lessee that will make the ongoing relationship positive and profitable for both sides. f GI THIRD AMENDMENT TO LEASE 538 North Palm Canyon Drive Palm Canyon Theater THIS THIRD AMENDMENT TO LEASE ("Third Amendment") is made this day of 2002 by and between the CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, a California municipal corporation ("City"), and THE PALM CANYON THEATRE, INC. a non-profit corporation ("Tenant").

I look forward each year to the stellar performances put forth by the dedicated group of actors, set designers, directors, and other individuals involved in each production. I have visited the theatre with my friends and family. My aunt and uncle, who rent a condo in Palm Springs each February and March, also attend the Palm Canyon Theatre when they are visiting from Chicago. They believe that the Palm Canyon Theatre provides as professional a level of entertainment as any theater in the Chicago area and at a much more reasonable price. Please renew the Palm Canyon Theatre's lease for as long as they make their payments. This would be a step in the right direction in the City of Palm Springs' continuing effort to bring culture and class to the Coachella Valley. Without this dedicated group of professional performers, the Valley will be sorely lacking for local upscale entertainment.

It would be a tragedy if the Palm Canyon Theatre were to lose its lease just as it is beginning to make headway on its educational and outreach mission. 1 strongly urge you to renew the City's lease with the Palm Canyon Theatre. Sincerely, Sue Dupre I� JUN 3 2002 REC2 VED May 28, 2002 Palm Springs City Council MAY 31 2002 15 3200 E.

We visit Palm Springs on a regular basis, and we have often enjoyed performances at the theater.

I lived there when the theater arson .fire happened, but I never did hear how much the Laynes collected in fire insurance, nor :Lf their insurance company ever investigated that suspicious fire. If not, they should have. Nor do I recall if the Laynes were ever cited by the Fire ❑epart-ment for having illegally stacked stage sets under the eaves at the building, which resulted in the fire spreading more rapidly. The theater had been previously told about fire violations by your Fire Marshal just prior to that fire, but the proprietors refused to do anything about it. I also know that the theater, group has been way behind--off and on--in their rent over the years (in the $thousands) , and yet they were never evicted (as an apt. renter would be if they didn't pay their rent) - If someone within the City of Palm Springs has been "protecting" the Laynes by aliowing them to remain without paying L•imely rent--or not obeying fire regulations--this is an outrage- I think there "may" have been criminal behavior, and I think the Palm Springs Police Dept- should have done more on that investigation after the fire. In my 58 years of life, the Palm Canyon Theatre group stands as one ❑f the worst theater companies I've seen. Thor productions are dreadfully amateurish, and they are definitely NOT an asset to Palm Springs. They are a absolute disgrace to community theater. Their lease should not be renewed under any circumstances. ❑avid Batterson 165 N.

Attachment A lists and describes the principal activities and events. Attachment B is a Fact Sheet containing some essential information concerning the Theatre. And Attachment C depicts a representative monthly schedule for use of the Theatre's facilities. In adduion to our Main Stage productions(six to eight per year), the Theatre engages in a w1dc variety of educational and artistic activities We are always seeking ways to improve the program. For example, next season we plan to add comedy and stage combat to our already extensive offering of theatre classes. It is exciting to observe each year's activities and events build upon the experience of prior years. As is evident from our schedule,the Theatre's facilities are in nearly constant use,particularly during the peak season. Thus,there is very little realistic potential for increased sharing of 0tese facilities with other organizations. In past years the Theatre has arranged for the use of nearby (non-PCT)space in order to engage in cooperative arts efforts with other groups,normally in connection with summer educational activities. We hope that similar opportunities may also arise in the future. As you can see from the table in the Fact Sheet,our ticket sales increased significantly each year until the 2000-2001 season,when sales dropped precipitously. Clearly,the fire in June OF2000 and subsequent lack of bathroom facilities took its toll on revenues. With the completion of repairs and reopening of the bathrooms, Ticket sales have improved this year. We are excited about the forthcoming season and have been working on obtaining performance rights for plays that will be of interest to our audience. We will provide you with a production schedule as soon as it has been finalized. We have enjoyed our first five years at the Theatre, and we loot:forward to enhancing our pro;ramming over the next five years. Please don't hesitate to call with any questions you may have.

When SR CTR needed to expand they wanted the other BUILDING HALF of "EVERYBODY' s VILLAGE"; however, they found out that: either FRANCES STEVENS or the STEVEN FAMILY when they deeded the PROPERTY TO THE CITY they deeded it with the PROVISO that it was to be kept for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. PALM CANYON THEATRE and the LAYNE FAMILY fulfill this CRITERIA, NOT ONLY AS A TI•TEATER but for TRAINING & TEACHING young & upcoming ARTISTS the craft of DANCE, STAGE & PERFORMANCE, even SET BUILDING; and they HOLD SUMMER CAMP for youngsters ages 8-18. The LAYNE FAMILY is PROFESSIONAL in SET BUILDING, PRODUCTION, LIGHTING & sacrifice their DAYS OFF to accommodate DERICK LEWIS ' MUSICAL CI•IAIRS once monthly. Instead of a FOUNTAIN on the corner of N PLM CXN & ALEJO, the CITY = e-r Pg 1 of 3 4' i i0 / should have installed a MARQUIS for the THEATRE, so people know the THEATER even exists. Most of the time uncivilized people in underwear take baths in that FOUNTAIN & skateboarders are hacking away at its walls. The LAYNES had a hard time accommodating patrons in wheel chairs not having accessible REST ROOMS after there was a FIRE in BUILDING. The CITY could not care less that for TWO (2 ) YEARS - PALM CYN THEATRE has NO DECENT RESTROOMS but wobbly PORTA POTTIES. The CITY should have had CAMERAS installed on its own property and could have detected the ARSENIST who set the FIRE! I had no idea these nice wholesome THEATRE PEOPLE have so many enemies who want to take over after the LAYNES put their SWEAT LABOR into building the ONLY EQUITY THEATRE IN PALM SPRINGS & produced every single play they promised & planned the YEAR AHEAD - and CAST the YEAR IN ADVANCE_ When the CITY holds other ACTIVITIES, PATRONS of the THEATER cannot find PARKING! Often the THEATRE has to start late as WILL-CALL TICKETS are outstanding due to that PARKING PROBLEM re ART EXHIBITS, FESTIVALS! The CITY should consider switching the MIZELL CTR to PLM CYN THEATRE; which is NO LONGER A PLACE FOR SENIORS & the CARD PLAYERS can go to the BUILDING @ the NORTH END OF TOWN_ If the CITY cares to be CONSIDERATE, they ought to CONSIDER a HIGH MARQUIS (out of reach of VANDALS) to advertise the PALM CANYON THEATRE on its CORNERS of the PROPERTY_ PLEASE RENEW THE LEASE WITH THE LAYNE FAMILY & PLM CYN THEATRE!

The Company feels that it's 501(c)(3) nonprofit community theater, under the classification of education, would be a significant addition to the City of Palm Springs. Desert Rose Theater Company was created with the purpose of establishing a year-round producing theater company in a permanent location in the Coachella Valley. Established in August 2000, the Company received its government exemptions in July, 2001. In the summer of 2001 we received a grant from the City of Rancho Mirage for a children's theater workshop, ages eight through eighteen, which culminated in a one and a half hour Christmas musical production. The Company has also produced and toured four productions throughout the Valley. We presented our touring shows to assisted living facilities at a reduced rate as part of our community outreach program. The Desert Rose Theater has eighty five (85) company members, including television, motion picture, and Broadway attars (Actor's Equity Association [AEA] and Screen Actor's Guild [SAG]; and directors, theater technicians, television and motion picture writers and non-performing individuals who believe in our mission. The Company began operation in 2001 with an account of nine dollars ($9.00) and in a matter of months had brought in fourteen thousand dollars ($14,000.00), all without having a theater facility. We know we will be very successful once we obtain a permanent location. During the development of the Company the Board of Directors has been in contact with the following local performing arts organizations which are interested in using our facility or working with us when we acquire a theater location: Playwrights Circle, Grove's Lag Cabin, 'West Coast Opera Company, Derrik Lewis' Musical Chairs, Metropolitan Community Church, and Children's Playtime Productions. There are also several other performing arts organizations which we could approach, including the Layne family's performing arts group and the Palm Springs Ballet Company. The Company's year-round schedule would include educational workshops for children and adults taught by skilled personnel in the various phases of performing arts with scholarships available; a winter season of six to seven full-length productions from mid- September through the end of May, each being presented for four weeks; a children's theater program; a Reader's Theater; Young People's Showcases; opera, dance, and ballet presentations; Theater Sports; and guest artists. In addition, a program will be developed with local schools for the bussing of children to the theater's presentations. The opening night of each seasonal production will be offered as a benefit performance with a percentage of the house going to various local charities. The Board of Directors also has 2 an innovative idea regarding how to work in conjunction with the annual Renaissance Faire which is presented in Frances Stevens Park,adjacent to the theater. The Company has also begun laying plans for another aspect of theater presentation that hasn't been presented in the Coachella Valley which will be a significant and continuing public relations event for the City of Palm Springs. Regarding Actor's Equity Association, it is the Company's intention to use Equity actors under Guest Artist/Special Agreement contracts once we feel the theater's receipts are sufficient to afford the union's required salaries and benefits. The Desert Rose Theater pursues an ongoing grant solicitation program to government agencies, corporations, and foundations, as well as donations from private individuals. In addition, the Executive Board regularly attends nonprofit seminars and county conventions in order to keep the Company abreast with nonprofit business information. The image of the performing arts in the City of Palm Springs would be greatly served with a true community theater operation. Working with and for the community to present both quality and affordable theater is what the Desert Rose Theater Company is all about. Desert Rose Theater Company agrees to the following: S1,400.00(fourteen hundred dollars) rent per month Rent due first day of each month $2,800.00(twenty eight hundred dollars) first month and security deposit upon signing of the lease A 5(five)year lease with option, beginning September 1,2002 Payment of electricity and gas — Insurance: volunteer,volunteer automobile, and $1,000,000.00(one millions dollars) liability(which the Company already carries),contents It is Desert Rose Theater Company's understanding that the City of Palm Springs is responsible for the following: Grounds and exterior maintenance Water Fire and liability insurance for grounds and building 3 Thank you for considering Desert Rose Theater Company's proposal, a theater for the City of Palm Springs, and the surrounding communities.

The basic requirements are few, for example: amount of space for seating, sufficient parking,adequate restrooms, high ceilings and, most significant, no support columns located in the center of the building, but it is difficult to find them all contained in the same location. Once a possible venue comes close to having the basics,the cost per square foot comes into the equation. Needless to say,our members will be the first to know when the just-right facility rears its lovely head. DUES DUE JUNE 30 Dues for 2002-2003 are due by June 30. Send your check for$35.00 to June Peever, 74-123 Aster Drive,Palm Desert, CA 92260 and your new membership card will be sent to you. Member dues are of great importance because they are one of the factors upon which our nonprofit status is based. Last year membership dues paid for liability insurance, volunteer insurance, and volunteer automobile insurance; 3 storage units for all of our theater equipment; the production of 3 touring shows; government fees, credit card service for ticket sales; office supplies; printing; postage; etc., the necessities involved in running a community theater which are not as obvious as a big stage production. IF YA AIN'T GOT A THEATER....TOURI The Company's "VMODUNIT" mystery comedy has been presented at many venues,as has our latest touring show"YJNGU" which is a staged comedy reading presented in costumes of the 1920s. The latter has been presented at the Palm Desert Library and Border's Bookstore at The River and has been well received. In fact,a member of the Border's audience wrote to Letters of The Desert Sun (April 12) praising our show,part of which we quote here: "TOP PERF,ORMANCES...They are: The Desert Bose Theatre Company's "Zingu" (sic)which is clever,polished nonsense, held at Borders, by donation;..." "XI NGU"will be presented next at the Joslyn Senior Center on Sunday May 19 at 1 p.m. The third show, a comedy revue with music called "BITS `N PIECES," will premiere at Oasis Resort on May 1. Spaghetti dinner at 6 p.m. and show at 7 p.m. with your discount is $17.50, or tickets for the show only are$13.00. Make required reservations by calling 328-2324 or 416-1496 by 5 p.m. on Tuesday. Visa and Mastercard accepted. `BITS `N PIECES" will also be presented at Sun City on May 15. As you know, members are entitled to two discounted tickets, so send in your dues now. �nrv-�ry rvzrv�nnry MAKING `THE ROSE GARDEN" GROW The Board of Directors take this opportunity to thank all those who made donations this past year to help our Company create a community theater for the Coachella Valley.

The show, above all else, is a COMEDY. Nonetheless, a crime has been committed and everyone in the room needs to help solve it and point the finger at the guilty one. Four actors (two couples) enter and sit at different tables. They nonchalantly interact with the guests, at first, pretending they have also come for dinner and the show. However, as things develop they become suspects and the guilty one is arrested at the end of the show for the dastardly deed that has been committed. The detective, played by myself, gets everyone laughing during the investigation and even gets the audience to participate in two sing-a-longs. Upon arrival the audience is provided with a "WHODUNIT" answer sheet and a pencil, so they can take notes as clues are reveled. Toward the end of the show the detective will tell everyone what questions need to be answered in order to solve the crime. At the end of the presentation the answers are collected and the detective then wraps up the case,with the awarding of two prizes. One prize is the"booby" prize and is awarded to the guest who gets everything absolutely wrong. The winner is then announced and ; awarded with the other prize, a bird hand puppet, which squeaks. It is called THE MALTESE COO- COO BIRD. i The show runs about one hour and ten minutes, but can be lengthened or shortened to fit any particular occasion, whether a dessert, hors d'oeuvre, or potluck event.

They nonchalantly interact with the guests, at first, pretending they have also come for dinner and the show. However, as things develop they become suspects and the guilty one is arrested at the end of the show for the dastardly deed that has been committed. The detective in charge gets everyone laughing during the investigation and even gets the audience to participate in two sing-a-longs. Upon arrival the audience is provided with a "WHODUNIT" answer sheet and a pencil, so they can take notes as clues are reveled. Toward the end of the show the detective will tell everyone what questions need to be answered in order to solve the crime. At the end of the presentation the answers are collected and the detective then wraps up the case, with the awarding of two prizes.
