The Plot

A Pegasus Play by L. Carmichael ^©

The Christmas office party is the big event in the social calendar of Buttons & Bows Promotions Inc., a time for the staff & bosses to let their hair down, celebrate the year's successes, & congratulate the Happy Button Winner of the Best Promotions & Events Award. However, there's more mayhem than merriment at B & B this year.

The fight for the prize, which includes a resort vacation & a bonus, has been vicious. As the staff anxiously waits for the boss to reveal the final decision, a year's worth of inter-office rivalries, jealousies, & resentments gather with them under the mistletoe.

When blackmail & betrayal join the party, kisses turn to killing & merry wishes become Compliments of Deceasin’!

How This Mystery Unfolds

An Interactive, Laugh-Out-Loud
Dinner Theatre Experience

Get ready for an evening where comedy takes centre stage, and you become part of the mystery. Upon arrival, guests will find a helpful “Super Sleuth” ballot at their table to jot down clues, theories, and suspicions. Throughout the night, actors perform lively scenes right in the midst of the audience, introducing colourful characters, motives, and plenty of hilarious twists. The action is up close and personal—guests can interact with suspects, ask questions, or simply sit back and enjoy the show.

Just when things reach a boiling point, a dramatic (and delightfully comic) “murder” occurs. The room breaks for a delicious buffet, giving everyone time to dine, discuss, debate, and refine their theories. After dinner, the performance continues with new clues and more comedic moments, leading into a playful “kangaroo court” where audience members step in as judge and bailiff to settle lingering questions. Guests then cast their final vote for whodunnit, and Pegasus wraps up the evening by crowning the night’s top Super Sleuth.
