Have Yourself a Murder-y Little Christmas (PG-13)
The Office meets Only Murders In the Building--with Santa!
Admit it. At one time or another, we’ve all had an officemate we wish would just…disappear. That’s certainly the case at the Acme Good Goods Co., where the small but mightily dysfunctional team is bravely trying to whip up some spirit at the annual holiday bash by hosting a murder mystery party.
But when the actor from Dickens Detectives shows up on cue, she discovers that the employee playing dead isn’t playing. As the snow piles up, so do the bodies—and the questions. Where is the big cash donation to Toys for Teetotalers? What’s the deal with the mysterious temp? What does the accountant keep in that drawer? And why has the office goldfish gone missing?
“The wickedly funny and talented Cindy Brown” (Mystery Playground) returns to her theatrical roots with this new full-length farce, partnering with the Garden Home Community Library and the fabulous folks from the Tesla City Stories to bring you a new laugh-out-loud farce.
