OutCast!® Production Creative Team

Elisa Hitchcock, Sales & Events Director. Elisa has worked in a variety of employments, ranging from 'real theatre' to log cabin building to vocational counselor, all the while continuing to 'dabble' in theatre, including community theatre, professional theatre, and for the last 14 years, murder mystery dinner theatre with Kim and Dennis. With a bachelor's degree in Theatre, directing and editing are her strengths, with a great love of Improv, from where our Improv-Ability® games were born. "Our mysteries and games combine my love of creativity and imagination, and allow me to keep my mind always working." Email Elisa.

Kimberley Gray, Marketing & Artistic Director. Armed with a bachelor's degree in Journalism and Public Communications, Kimberley found a job as an Events Coordinator for a local trade association. She has been writing and performing Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre with her partners for the past 14 years. Performances have included major event openings, fundraisers on trains, collaborations with local media, & private parties. She began writing plays as a child and enjoys the art of building characters. Her favorite part of each show is the Improv, which is so important to their business, and is the backbone of the Improv-Ability Games. "What a joy to be someone else for just awhile," she says, "to let the laughter flow." Email Kimberley.

Dennis Thurston: By day a geophysicist with the U.S. Government working on Arctic natural resource issues, but he still manages to write plays, act, paint, and play the drums, which he has done for over 20 years. Several of Dennis’ plays have won awards and have been produced in Alaska. He has been directing and acting in Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre with his partners for the last 11 years. Performances have included major event openings, fundraisers on trains, collaborations with local media, & private parties.
