Roberson Museum and Science Center will host its annual Valentine’s Murder Mystery Dinner on Saturday, Feb. 14 at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are available now for “Dearly Department: A Paige and Donaldson Murder,” an all original murder mystery musical presented by the talented and entertaining vaudeville-style performance group Peaches and Crime.
Tickets for the Murder Mystery fundraiser are available for $40 for Roberson members and $45 for the general public. Ticket price includes pre-show light refreshments on the first floor of the Roberson Mansion at 6:30 p.m.
Guests will then enjoy a dinner buffet prepared and served in the Mansion Ballroom by students in the Broome-Tioga BOCES Culinary Arts Program, and the show “Dearly Department: A Paige and Donaldson Murder” performed by Peaches and Crime.
When Thomas Dalton, a department store magnate, is found dead in scandalous circumstances, private investigators Paige and Donaldson are brought in to investigate!
Gumshoes to the well-heeled, the two detectives bring their wit and scrutiny to a handful of unscrupulous characters. The store manager had his hand in the till; would he kill to silence his employer?
The widow knew her husband to be dishonest; did she decide that death should do them part? Most importantly, can our heroes solve this case before the police show up and cheat them out of a paycheck? The music of Peaches and Crime accompanies a night of revelations and ridicule as Paige and Donaldson deduce whodunit.
Reservations are required, and tickets can be purchased in advance at Roberson, online at www.roberson.org or by calling (607) 772-0660.
