Employees will sharpen their decision-making and listening skills and develop enhanced levels of cooperation and leadership. Riddlesbrood’s shows are professional, high-energy fun! Starting with their extensive pre-preparation process, they’ll ask many questions to determine what your needs are and help you choose the best party theme depending on your event’s location and your gathering’s special occasion like a reunion, birthday, wedding, or corporate conference. In addition, certain shows may work better for specific groups. For example, an older crowd might prefer a roaring 1920s theme, while a pirate show is usually a big hit with a younger crowd. The actors arrive at least an hour before your guests to set everything up and discuss details with you to ensure a magnificent experience for everyone. And, when the show is over, they clean everything up, so you don’t have to. Just try getting your cousin Andy to help clean up afterwards!
