Two Dark Stories from Pensacola’s Past

During the evening, guests will hear two carefully researched crime stories drawn from local history—each told where justice once unfolded:

A promotional poster for 'Sweet Tea Murders Live,' featuring a glass of iced tea and a book on a table, with a dimly lit prison background and text detailing an event about Pensacola crime stories happening on May 28.

• “The Stabbing at the Half Way House Saloon”
A violent encounter rooted in a Pensacola establishment that once existed on the edge of respectability, where tempers were short and knives were closer.

• “The Chipley Alley Axe Murder”
One of Pensacola’s most infamous and disturbing cases, involving a brutal attack that shocked the city and left questions that still linger generations later.

Both stories are grounded in original research and period newspaper accounts, told with the detail and pacing that Sweet Tea Murders audiences have come to expect.


More Than a Show—It’s an Experience

Every ticket holder will receive:

  • A free mason jar of Sweet Tea
  • A printed brochure featuring a brief description of each story
  • Opportunities for photos inside the original Pensacola police jail cells
  • Access to exclusive Sweet Tea Murders merchandise, available for purchase at the event

This is not a stage show. It’s an immersive evening—part storytelling, part history lesson, and part time travel.
