Murder at the Pie Auction
Dessert Theatre Mystery Show
in partnership with Franklin Footlight Theatre
at the Franklin Elks Lodge
March 14-15, 2025
Reserved Table Seating
Ticket includes dessert and non-alcoholic beverage. Cash bar available.
After years of trying unsuccessfully, the small town of Mynute, Alaska, finally lands the famous Mother Mabel’s Pie Baking Competition — but it was all due to a typo, mistaking Mynute for Minot! The contest looks to be a disaster with no media or publicity. To add to the tension, one of the contestants is writing a tell-all book about the seamy side of competitive pie baking. Making matters even worse, just hours before the competition begins, the pie judge goes missing. Has he been murdered? And what about a missing celebrity baker? With an ample serving of motive and all the right ingredients for murder, this is the perfect “dessert theater” recipe for big laughs, lots of wordplay, outrageous characters, and hilarious audience participation. Includes an ACTUAL pie auction!
