About this Event

Lanternlight M**der Mystery Dinner Theater Show at New Realm in Greenville

Grab your ugliest sweater and join us for the town’s annual tree lighting. The cocoa is spiked, the carolers are in tune, and Santa just stepped away for a quick break. Turns out it was a permanent one. Ho ho homicide. Now everyone at the party is a suspect, and that includes you.

Lanternlight Theatre Co. presents Bless His Jolly Heart, an interactive holiday M**der mystery dinner show at New Realm Brewing. Over a three course dinner, a live cast plays out a M**der mystery right in the room with you. Question the suspects. Gather the clues. Compare notes with your table. Then name the killer before the final reveal.

This is not a show you just watch from across the room. The suspects come to you. Guests can participate as much or as little as they like, and no one is required to perform.

Bless His Jolly Heart continues our monthly series of M**der mystery nights at New Realm.
