COLLABORATION WITH ELDER NETWORK
For years, Absolute Theatre, through Co-Founder Suzie Hansen, collaborates with Elder Network of Rochester, MN, to write, cast, and direct a murder mystery to be performed at the Plummer House. These fundraisers for Elder Network have raised over $100,000 in support of their mission to provide emotional and social support for regional seniors and their families. We are honored to work with Elder Network and use our skills to support this valuable community resource.
In 2017, we performed the original murder mystery, Savannah in Style or Death With A Knife Pleat for the Boys and Girls Club of Rochester. Jessica Sund, Operations Assistant for the group wrote:
[Absolute Theatre’s Murder Mystery was] “a record breaking Auction Package that raised $11,700 for Rochester’s youth who need us the most. I am without words for all of your generosity and creativity. Thank you from the bottom of my heart on behalf of Boys & Girls Club of Rochester, and all the amazing kids we serve! Well done, and Congratulations!”
Since then, we have performed other for silent auctions, fundraisers and as corporate entertainment. Mysteries are an important part of Absolute Theatre. Contact us for additional information.
