Welcome! I’m Bill Scurato founder and content-creator of MurderMysterieScripts. I’m an educator and theatre artist. I’ve written a score of mystery dinner theatre productions, several of which are available for licensing here. All of my scripts have been successfully produced at venues throughout the United States, garnering universal audience enjoyment. The scripts are written for an adult audience…some mature themes and innuendo. Pretty tame really. My career included 40 years in New Jersey public education where I engaged as a speech correctionist, classroom teacher, instructional supervisor, college adjunct and district administrator. I am the founder, along with my wife, Carolyn Scurato, of the Country Gate Playhouse, a community theatre located in Belvidere, New Jersey. I’ve written three books.  Makes A Man’s Blood Pound (2017), is a memoir chiefly documenting the establishment and growth of Country Gate since its inception in 1978. Rag Doll…a theatre story (2019), a novel, recounts the struggle and ultimate triumph of a woman’s journey in seeking validation for herself and her daughter through the auspices of a local theatre. Murder Show (2021) provides diverting and, hopefully, valuable advice for anyone considering the prospect of tackling the “murder mystery” genre. In addition, I’ve managed to author a series of musical adaptations for young performers. These include Tom Sawyer (republished in a reading textbook by Oxford University Press) , That Weird Kid, and Pollyanna. Also, I’ve written and produced a two part theatre vehicle in deference to my home state entitled Jersey Diner. In 2012 I wrote, directed and acted in Orson’s Path, an homage to theatre and film director, Orson Welles. In recent years, I’ve ventured into film production with the documentary, Punch Line and the web series,The Troupe. I’m also a podcaster having produced the internet audio programs; Theatrecast, Stages and Shameless Rewind. Through the ’80’s and ’90’s I was known to local radio audiences as a newscaster and announcer on WCRV AM, licensed to Washington, New Jersey. Thanks for visiting.I hope you will consider producing one of my scripts.
