Imagine taking a jaunt on a historic train, enjoying fine wine, a succulent dinner and landing right in the middle of a murder mystery as the train scurries down the tracks.

Introducing Larry Zaidlin Productions, producers of Murder on The New York and Lake Erie Railroad, an internationally renowned house of both corporate and public event entertainment, originating from Toronto, Canada.

Zaidlin Productions has been producing Murder on the Nyle for just over seven years now. According to Robert Dingman, owner and operator of The New York and Lake Erie Railroad, "We are now booking more private cars and private function dates annually than our regularly scheduled trains!"

Dingman said the surge in popularity of event business trains is due to "an increased desire on the part of companies to capture their employees' attention while putting a smile on their faces."

Larry Zaidlin Productions has been producing Murder Mysteries and other entertaining diversions for the past ten years for corporations such as IBM, ITT, Kodak, Marine Midland, Anheuser Busch, Baxter Pharmaceutical, Sentry Safes, Eli-Lilly to name a few. Over the years they have developed a repertoire of programs designed to enhance corporate events and conferences, with both entertainment value and team building/performance effectiveness. Everything from talk shows designed to condense typical dry presentations into snappy, motivating informative seminars; game shows and interactive team building/group dynamic challenges; Gladiator style events, boat building, spy games scavenger hunts, etc. all customed to the group and the location and often your corporate controllers budget!!

"Originally we were an interactive entertainment group specializing in Murder Mysteries, but as time went on and our clients continued to bring repeat business it became obvious that we needed to offer more packages to both entertain and motivate the corporate market," said Zaidlin, Executive Producer. "We can now offer our clients everything from cabaret shows for strictly entertainment value, to Murder Mysteries customed to company personnel and information all the way through to talk shows designed to inform and entertain. Sometimes companies have important but often tedious detailed information to get out to their employees or even customer base, and we made it our goal to specialize in custom producing formats that create a receptive audience. We believe that's key to the success of any company meeting or conference."
