History

Established in 1993.

Do or Die Productions was founded by CJ Crowe and has been inviting audiences to Eat, Drink and be Wary since 1993.

Comedy and interaction are the key elements to every Do or Die show. The vast majority of shows are murder mysteries, however Poe’s Last Stanza has recently been added to the lineup. Poe’s Last Stanza is mysterious, but is not a murder mystery. More non-​murder oriented interactive scripts are in the works.

Do or Die has performed as the house mystery company for Blair Mansion Restaurant (sorry folks, it’s closed now), Chesapeake Music Hall (sorry, folks, this one closed too. Nothing to do with us, we swear), Flanagan’s Harp and Fiddle (we left), Chesapeake Arts Center and myriad corporate parties and fundraisers. Currently Do or Die performs regularly at the Grand, 225 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, and the Sunset Resaurant, 625 Greenway in Glen Burnie.

In 2015, Do or Die Productions was nominated for Best Professional Comic Improv Troupe by the Maryland.

Meet the Business Owner

CJ C.

Business Owner

Crowe is the primary writer and director of Do or Die shows. As such, she finds it is much easier to get the roles she wants without having to sleep with anyone but herself. She has written, directed and produced over 25 shows that she admits too, and at least 10 others that she doesn’t.

Crowe is a rabid devotee of the interactive theatre genre. Don’t get her started on how interactive theatre has been dismissed by the «legitimate» traditional theatre genre. She’ll never shut up. She’ll go on and on about developing a training manual for her troupe, and how, in an interactive world, interactive theatre is the natural evolution of live performance. You’ll start yawning. She’ll get red in the face. It will be awkward.

Suffice it to say, it may look effortless, but it is not.

She is also a teaching artist. Classes include comedic acting, improvisation, interactive improvisation, character development, monologue study, scene study, writing and whole body communication workshops.
