This Christmas Could Get Ugly 

It is a hard-candy Christmas at Knacker Auto Complex. In lieu of a Christmas bonus, Neal Knacker has invited his employees and their guests to his family home to celebrate with an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party and Contest. What his employees don't know is that immediately after the party the Knackers are leaving for Hawaii on their last family vacation before their kids go away to college and law school.  Much to everyone's surprise, Neal's black sheep brother, Nick, crashes the event with the family matriarch, cranky old Aunt Nattie - the inspiration and contributor of most of the sweaters for the Ugly Christmas Sweater party.  Things get a little wild and wooly when accusations of embezzling, infidelity and altogether naughtiness fly like reindeer. Wear your ugliest Christmas sweater and find out who is naughty, who is nice, and who ends up getting nothing for Christmas. Note that this is an audience participation play with an actual Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest.

Bumped Off: Mobsters, Molls & Murder

It's the roaring '20s and “Crackers” Ciccone controls the flow of booze to all the juice joints in the central part of town. Tonight, you've got an invitation you can't refuse to honor his dearly departed father at the speakeasy. Tonight, Crackers plans to announce he’s getting out of "the business." When someone gets Bumped Off, all you mobsters, molls and prohis will have to work together to solve the mystery. Was it Knuckles, the underboss with higher aspirations? Or maybe it was Gino, the accountant who's a no account unless it comes to Crackers' former entertainer, Bunny. Could it be Nina, his long-time moll who's good at eliminating the competition?  Surely it's not Kiki, the new torch singer who asks a lot of questions but never seems to understand the answers. Patrons encouraged to dress for a 1920s costume contest.
