When Annie finds herself in the clutches of the cantankerous Miss Hannigan, her luck takes a turn for the better when she is chosen to spend the holidays with billionaire Oliver Warbucks. Along the way, Annie’s infectious optimism touches the lives of everyone she meets, proving that even in the darkest of times, a little bit of hope can go a long way. For tickets, click HERE.

ELECTORAL CARNAGE

The plot of the mystery is as follows: The town of Meady Acres has been peacefully guided by the beloved Mayor Brandon Baker for the past 35 years, and to celebrate his retirement the entire town is invited to surprise the Mayor for his final City Council meeting! With a guest list filled with politicians and citizens all out for their own personal gain, this is the last chance for hopeful candidates to rub elbows with constituents before the next Mayoral election. But what happens when the gathering itself is not peaceful, and people start to die? Will the Mayor be able to rise to the occasion and end the slaughter, or will other candidates have to take the law into their own hands? As more people start to drop, secrets are revealed, and it is suddenly clear that this town has only been peaceful on the surface. Electoral Carnage will be performed as a $75 plated dinner for patrons. To purchase tickets, click HERE.
