Featuring the all-star production, cast, and crew formerly of Agatha’s in downtown Atlanta, Murder, Mystery, and Mayhem at Petite Violette is an interactive murder mystery dinner unlike any other. The event showcases unique, original, hilarious murder mysteries with live actors and audience participation, paired with a four-course dinner of fine French food. Shows run every Friday night at 8 p.m., Saturday night at 7:30 p.m., and, beginning in October, Sundays at 3 p.m. (with check-in beginning 15 to 30 minutes prior to show starts).
The production changes quarterly to offer up fresh stories and mysteries, and special holiday show performances are available for groups. The cost per person is $75 plus tax (includes gratuity). Seating is family-style, so guests get a chance to sit with the star of the show. (All food is served in individual portions.)
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 costumes, or a smaller part 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.
Paired with top-notch entertainment is an outstanding four-course meal. The gourmet meal begins with a variety of appetizers, followed by a fresh salad with a choice of dressings. 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. Murder, Mystery, and Mayhem at Petite Violette can be a long, fun night, so leave room for dessert!
