FAQ:

How does seating work?

After you purchase tickets, seats will be reserved for you at one of our tables and our hosts will seat you upon arrival. The venue is extremely intimate, so every seat is a fantastic one! If you have multiple separate orders and would like to be seated together, please indicate that in the "are you sitting with another party who has already purchased?" section of the checkout form.

The maximum table size is 10 patrons. Groups larger than 10 will be split amongst adjacent tables.

Note: You may be sat at the same table with other parties, but your party will always be kept together. If you purchase VIP Tickets, you will be seated at a private table for two.

Can I really bring my own food?

Yes! The show is BYOB and BYOF (Bring your own food!). Many patrons opt to bring charcuterie, sandwiches, and more. The venue features table seating for you to eat at throughout the performance. Light concessions and treats will be available as well at concessions.

The show is BYOB?

Yes. Please note patrons must be 21+ to attend (ID is checked at the door).  Patrons who become overly intoxicated will be asked to leave and removed from the premises by security staff. Please drink responsibly. We take this very seriously.

I've never heard of this show before. Has it been done before?

The Sweetest Crime is an original hit Murder Mystery Comedy written by esteemed playwright Elle Michael River (Murder, Magic & Mead) After a sold out run as October Ensemble's inaugural show in 2024, the show is being revived for 4 weeks, better than ever and just in time for Valentine's Day! 

Is this interactive?

Yes! The audience can directly influence the events of the show, and will have the chance to solve the mystery by deciphering clues, interrogating the suspects, and more.

What if I don't want to interact and prefer to just watch?

That's ok too! Audience participation is not mandatory, and certainly not required to have a fantastic time at the show.
