Meet the people behind the scenes that make each murder mystery possible:
|
Annelise Murphy (Director/Producer)
 Annelise has worked in all capacities of the theatrical world at some point in her life. She loves the theatre and is excited to have this amazing opportunity to produce her own work. She hopes that it is well received and taken in the spirit in which it was written, that of accepting ourselves through humor and love. She is the mother of two wonderful and very precocious girls, Ivy and Madeleine, and married to Mickey Murphy who supports her in all her endeavors. |
Nate Drew (Composer/Producer)
 Nate is a home-grown product of Happy Valley. He has acted in professional theater for 5 years for troops like Mack’s Inn and Hunt Mysteries. He also is a film scorer, and has written music for films like ‘Performance of Faith’ (BYUTV), and ‘Woman in the River’ (applying for Sundance currently). He has also interned with world renowned film scorers like James Newton Howard (’I Am Legend‘), Chris Bacon (’Space Chimps‘), and Hans Zimmer (’Angels and Demons‘). Nate recently graduated UVU with a major in music, and plans on helping grow Poison Ivy Mysteries. He is finishing three original musicals that will be performed next spring. You can find out more at his website. |
Jeff Parkes (Composer)
 Jeff has been composing for over fifteen years, and has written music under the direction of Tyler Castleton and Dave Zabriskie. Perhaps his largest work to date was arranging the musical Travels, a story about the life of Marco Polo, which premiered in West Valley City in 2000. Jeff also performs comedy improv and has been involved with the Utah improv troupes Quick Wits and Knock Your Socks Off and currently manages the troupe Absoludicrous. He currently attends Brigham Young University, studying media music. |
Mickey Murphy (All Around Awesome)
 Mickey has been involved with theater and music since the dawn of time. He enjoys supporting his beautiful wife Annelise, in her dream of running a theatre company. He works behind the scenes doing the grunt work and maintaining this freakin' amazing website. In between spending time with his darling daughters and keeping his wife sane, Mickey works full time for Title One and plays the clarinet and saxophone in the 23rd Army Band.

Kevin Dennis (Choreographer/Assistant Director)
 Kevin is from Longmont Colorado and has been acting and dancing since high school. He has played Edward in Twilit and the Full Blooded Princess and Dundee Jack in Til Death Do Us Part. More recently he was the assistant director and choreographer for Lights...Camera...Murder. He loves any part as acting is an experience in and of itself. He is a junior at BYU. He would like to thank his family for their undying support and love and Poison Ivy Mysteries for this amazing experience. |
