- Xmas Murder Mystery – Free Event – Friday, Dec. 11, 7 p. m.
- Join fellow students, staff and faculty to discover who has been “murdered” and who did it! Could you be guilty? The theme of the night is Ugly Holiday Sweaters, so make sure you wear the most gaudy, ugly piece of Holiday trash. There are enough parts for 20 players but anymore will have to be audience members, but don’t worry, the audience will still get a chance to be a super sleuth. Those who correctly guess the culprit will be entered to win a $25 Applebee’s gift card. Other opportunities to win other prizes and gift cards will arise from attendance, acting skills, or lack of skills, and the ugliness of your Holiday sweater. For more information, please contact Jenna Shelton at jshelton@lc.edu.
