Did Grandma Get Run Over by a Reindeer?

Written and Directed by Terry Smith

Produced by Jerri Wiseman

Cast: Katie Bull, Shelby Kaplan, and Lori Muhlstein

Everybody knows the song. Nobody knows the truth. Vixen has been branded a murderer ever since Grandma Butt’s mysterious death—and she’s determined to clear her name. Unfortunately, the suspects are a feud-ridden family of Butts and Clampits, the evidence is questionable, the witnesses are unreliable, and absolutely everyone seems to have a motive. Only you can decide who killed Grandma,

Murder Meter™ Classic Whodunnit

Performances will be held at area historic venues, restaurants, wineries, and breweries October – November 2026.

Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute to Commit Murder with Us!

Reservations received early help make the show happen! We make final catering and event decisions approximately one week before each performance based on the number of guests booked. If you’re planning to join us, please reserve early rather than waiting for the final few days.

But if the show is still accepting reservations, it’s not too late! Even a day or two before the performance, check for available seats. We’re happy to welcome more suspects right up until we’re sold out.

Note

ALL MURDER MYSTERIES ARE WHAT WE WOULD RATE AS PG13. THERE IS USUALLY SEXUAL INNUENDO, MILD SWEAR WORDS, AND, OF COURSE, MURDER. IT IS UP TO YOU AS A PARENT TO DETERMINE WHETHER IT WILL BE SUITABLE FOR YOUR CHILD TO ATTEND A PERFORMANCE. SOME VENUES MAY HAVE AGE RESTRICTIONS.
