Join us for a staged reading of the original Cutthroat Christmas script before seeing Cutthroat Christmas: Deadly Deals this December at Titan Hollow! We're excited to bring back most of the original cast of this production (originally produced at Titan Hollow in 2022.)
SYNOPSIS: It's the annual Christmas party for Kringle, the gift-giving app company. In addition to the usual festivities - including an ugly sweater contest - the boss is retiring and is expected to name his successor at the party. What should be a merry and joyful evening is tainted by desperation, disloyalty, and....murder. Who's been nice and who's been naughty? Thankfully, one of Santa's elves is here to help solve the mystery.
Approximate run time: 90-100 minutes

The employees of Kringle are back for more holiday antics and mayhem in this sequel to our popular murder mystery, Cutthroat Christmas. A permanent CEO has still not been named since the murderous outcome of their last holiday party and the competition remains as cutthroat as ever. Will the CEO be Michael, former nepotism-hire trying to prove himself, or Greg, salesman-turned-chauvinist with a flair for the dramatic? And can we get through the night without another murder?
Featuring some of your favorite characters from the last show plus memorable new ones, you'll be laughing nonstop in this wacky sequel. And if you missed the original, don't worry - we'll summarize it all for you and you won't miss a beat! Join us as a potential investor at the Kringle holiday party, where anything can - and probably will - happen.
