K-Pop murder things hunters

Friday, August 7 - Saturday, October 31

After a brief summer hiatus, our new Murder, Mystery, and Mayhem at Petite Violette show will return on Friday, August 7th.

Show Synopsis: After 3 years of relative normalcy, things are getting strange again. Willie has been feeling his possession tingles that connect him to the updownside and Whatthe Heckna. He's back snatching people, and someone is helping him. Who? Why? The people of HawkEnds just wanna go to the mall in their parachute pants and buy Swatches from Benneton.

Audience Participation

This special brand of comedic murder mysteries is centered on making the audience laugh continuously, while also keeping them guessing. Our audience participation is a little different than other murder mysteries, but it’s also WAY more fun.

Two professional actors greet all guests at the door to explain how the evening is going to be played out. At that time, the actors will give every audience member a part in the show. Parts can range from playing a character in the show, complete with props, or a smaller part singing in a group with many other guests.

Participation is highly encouraged, as we try to make the audience the star, but it’s not required. Guests who want to sit back, relax and enjoy a great evening of food and laughter with friends and family, will get exactly that.

The Four-Course Meal

Paired with top-notch entertainment is an outstanding four-course meal. The gourmet meal begins with a variety of hot and cold appetizers, followed by a fresh salad with a house made dressing. You can enjoy this course with a glass of wine that’s included in the ticket price. Next, you have a choice of five entrees including meat, fish, and vegetarian options. If you have a food allergy, please let us know so we can try to accommodate you. These entrees change seasonally with each show and are always made with the freshest ingredients. Your final course is homemade dessert.
