Franklin Opera House, in cooperation with Franklin Footlight Theatre Co., is proud to present its annual murder mystery dessert show, Murder at the Pie Auction.
Now in its 11th year, this collaboration between Franklin Opera House and Franklin Footlight Theatre Co. is loads of laughs and tons of fun. Theater joins forces to benefit Franklin Opera House.
March 14 is not only International “Pi Day;” it is also the opening night of this hilarious murder mystery event. In this production, audience members will witness what seems to be a simple town fall into chaos when an annual pie-baking contest turns deadly.
This year’s show, Murder at the Pie Auction, revolves around a famous “Mother Mable’s Pie Baking Competition.” However, someone miswrote the town’s name, so the town ends up with more pie than expected—enough to make Alaska for Ms. Mable.
Add the mysterious murder of one of the pie judges during the auction, and you have all the ingredients needed for an evening full of big laughs and outrageous characters. Audience members are highly encouraged to jump in and help solve the crime to find the culprit.
There will be two showings held:
- Opening night: Friday, March 14, at 7 p.m.
- Second show: Saturday, March 15, at 3 p.m.
The event will occur at Franklin Opera House, located at Franklin Opera House, 316 Central St, Franklin, NH.
