TIFTON — Mystery lovers and theater aficionados are invited to join the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College’s School of Arts and Sciences for an evening of intrigue and suspense. On Nov. 8 the “School of Arts & Sciences Murder Mystery Dinner – A Death on Campus” fundraiser promises an unforgettable experience filled with delicious food, interactive entertainment, and a chance to put attendees’ detective skills to the test.

“Please join us for this fun-filled evening and help us raise money to support ABAC’s School of Arts and Sciences and the excellent high-impact educational experiences we provide our students,” said Dr. Matthew Anderson, dean of the School of Arts and Sciences.

During the event, guests will enjoy ABAC’s famous fried chicken before diving into a captivating murder mystery game to solve the murder of Derek Terr, a Hollywood film director who was murdered in Edwards Hall.

As the night unfolds, attendees will have the opportunity to interact with the cast members, portrayed by SAS faculty and friends, and examine evidence to unravel the mystery and identify the culprit. Was it the director’s estranged and angry daughter who is an ABAC electrician? Or was it ABAC’s coffee shop manager whose lifelong dream was to be in the movies?

“During this fun, interactive evening, attendees will review the murder scene, read detective profiles, evaluate clues, and question the six suspects,” said Dr. Cyndy Hall, English and Communication Department head in the School of Arts and Sciences. “Come support The School of Arts and Sciences and enjoy some good old-fashioned detective work.”

ABAC’s School of Arts and Sciences is actively seeking sponsors and donations to support this event, according to Anderson. To purchase tickets for the “School of Arts & Sciences Murder Mystery Dinner – A Death on Campus” or to sponsor the event, please visit link.abac.edu/MurderMysteryDinner.
