Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre

A very enterprising group of actors have created some unique theatre experiences in Rochester, Michigan. Murder Mystery and Dinner Theatre Productions offers “A suspenseful night of interactive dinner theater filled with humor, mystery, and live entertainment.”

You can treat your clients or friends to several different events, including “Last Night on the Titanic,” “Jewel Heist at the Stardust Ballroom,” “Houdini Halloween Seance,” “Murder at the Sands,” “Phantom of the Op’ry,” and of course, “The Re-Trial of Lizzie Borden.”

The Re-trial of Lizzie Borden: Who killed Lizzie Borden’s parents? On a hot August morning in 1892, the Borden house was locked. The maid was outside washing windows. Emma Borden, Lizzie’s sister was out visiting friends. Lizzie was the only one in the house. Yet, when both her parents were found hacked to death… Lizzie was found “not guilty”. You will enjoy a night of mystery and laughter as our attorneys, who are also stand-up comedians, call our cast members up to the witness stand. The re-trial, complete with a twelve-member jury which is randomly selected from the dinner guests that night, along with a judge and two actual attorneys. While using audience participation throughout the evening, guests will determine if Lizzie is still “not guilty”. Package includes props, costumes, music, and actors. Other packages are available that include program production, invitations and publicity.

Mondo Lizzie Borden, Episode 7: NOT Lizzie Borden

Being a collector of the weird and fabulous as it relates to the Borden case, I have files of these images saved during the past twenty years. And I would like to share them with you now.

They didn’t care. Even though they were committing fraud by the sale of the image as a true Lizzie Borden. Oh well.

Here we go. Enjoy.
