This Fundraiser is Co-Sponsored by the Foundation for Delta Educational and Economic Development (DEED) and Omicron Xi Lambda Educational Foundation.

Silver bells are ringing at this seasonal standup performance, but the jolly jokester gets upstaged by an event far worse than bad holiday comedy: a murder! With humbug hovering over the holiday, it is up to the unamused audience to unravel the mystery of whodunit like last year’s tacky knitted holiday sweater. While murder is making the night not so merry and bright, you must gather information, bribe your guests for clues, and solve the crime before this comedy act becomes a tragedy!

Find your most festive holiday clothes to make this event a colorful spectacle as you seek to solve the crime! Ugly sweaters, garb gifted from the in-laws fit only for the back of the closet, and garish (tacky) color clashes will be all the rage at this event.

Have you heard??? There was a murder on Linwood Blvd … YOU are now the lead investigator to this crime.

Drop by to Dine, Drink, Deduce, and Die… Laughing — at the Delta Athenaeum — where incognito professional stage, TV and film actors surround you as imposters and where you may be part of the action, both as an investigator and as a homicide suspect!

Enjoy an evening of delicious cuisine and despicable crime as you help solve the homicide, but don’t be surprised if you find yourself at the business end of a comically snarky third-degree interrogation by our hilarious Homicide Detectives.
