Audiences come in different groups, they come for different
reasons, and they come for new experiences.
Jay Joseph has been entertaining audiences for over 30 years and has
mastered his art of interactive programming.
Owner and operator, writer, director, and performer of ATOM Las Vegas, Jay
provides a unique twist on events such as corporate meetings, conferences, and
team building, to family reunions, children’s parties, and dinner theatre.
In A Touch of Mystery,
Jay and his crew create a murder mystery revolving around the attendees of an
event. Instead of the usual speaker or
exercise, you at once notice a few people of whom you do not recognize and are
acting very peculiar, dropping clues or causing scenes. Although these people are strangers, they
seem to know you or your friends/colleagues by name and some of your personality
traits; possibly you should know them already.
Only next thing you know, an Inspector enters the room and informs
everyone that a murder has taken place!
Crime reports are handed out, the suspects and clues are introduced, and
the uncontrollable urge to solve this mystery comes over all the
participants. Each table becomes an
investigative team and are expected to come up with questions for the suspects
during mealtime - the murderer may even be seated at the table with you!
Through highly talented and creative artists, Jay Joseph and
ATOM Las Vegas reconstructs an event from the drab and dreary into an
enjoyable, memorable event which will entice participants to utilize this
experience in their everyday-lives to stimulate bridge-building and enhance
production.
ATOM Las Vegas also provides specialty acts: wedding
crashers, exotic animals, Cirque-style performers, Elvis, the Rat Pack, Tarot
reading, celebrity impersonators, and production shows. For more information, please visit www.atomlasvegas.com .
