Dust off the tackiest sweater you own. There's been a murder at the holiday party, and you're a suspect.

You're invited (and you're a suspect)

Picture a cozy holiday party in the Laurel Highlands. Twinkle lights. Good food. A room full of reindeer, snowmen and sweaters that blink.

Then someone turns up dead.

Nobody leaves until the case is cracked. Every guest is a suspect, and every guest is a detective. Gather clues, question your fellow partygoers, and point the finger before the killer gets away with it.
No acting experience. No detective skills. Just curiosity, a sense of humor and a truly terrible sweater. Every ticket supports live theater at Mountain Playhouse.

What's on the agenda

  • The murder mystery. The main event. Work the room, swap theories and try to name the culprit. It's a team effort, so bring a friend or make new ones.
  • The ugly sweaters. The uglier, the better. Think reindeer, elves, tinsel, pom-poms and anything Grandma ever knit. Blinking lights earn bonus points with the crowd. Prizes awarded.
  • Food. Heavy Hors d'oeuvres and snacks to fuel your investigation. So the only thing you'll be grilling is your fellow suspects.
  • Drinks. Included with your ticket, but alcohol tickets can be purchased, as well.
  • Music. Holiday tunes all evening to keep the room merry while the clues fly.
  • Prizes. Friendly competition is part of the fun, with prizes to win throughout the night.
  • The basket party. Your ticket comes with basket party tickets. Extra tickets will be for sale if you're into hedging your bets.
  • The 50/50 drawing. Buy in for a chance to win half the pot. The other half goes straight to Mountain Playhouse.
