Don’t wait to buy tickets if you want to help solve a festive murder mystery at Bobcaygeon’s Globus Theatre while enjoying canapes and a buffet-style dinner.
The Little Balls Falls Christmas Fete (ality!) runs for six performances at 6:30 p.m. Thursdays to Saturdays from November 13 to 22, but two shows are already sold out and another has limited availability.
Written and directed by Globus artistic producer James Barrett, the interactive murder mystery dinner theatre experience will take guests to the quaint little town of Little Balls Falls, where holiday cheer meets murder and mayhem.
Pulling out all the stops for the town’s not-so-little Little Balls Falls Christmas Fete, residents compete to be the most decorated house on the block. Rivalries spiral, family feuds fester, and it’s lights out for somebody. The townsfolk need help solving the mystery before their entire holiday season is ruined.
“Our holiday murder mysteries have become a beloved tradition at Globus,” Barrett says in a media release. “There’s something wonderfully fun about mixing festive cheer with a bit of fiendish intrigue. The Little Balls Falls Christmas Fete (ality!) is packed with laughs, twists, and just the right amount of Christmas chaos.”
Performing as the town’s residents are a cast of Canadian Comedy Award winning comedians, seasoned stage pros, and Globus Theatre favourites including Sandy Jobin Bevans (Second City Toronto, The Parker Andersons, Life With Boys), Kylee Evans (Good Witch on Hallmark, Luckiest Girl Alive on Netflix, Mistletoe Murders on Hallmark/W), Chris Gibbs (Murder at the Snowball, Just for Laughs, Not Quite Sherlock), Barb Scheffler (The Beaver Club), and Kerry Griffin (SlapHappy, Second City; Bad Dog Theatre Co.).
Both adults and older children will enjoy the show, which is also a perfect holiday outing for friends and families.
Doors open each night at 6 p.m. with canapes at 6:30 p.m. and the show beginning at 7 p.m. Tickets are $100 and are available by calling the Globus Theatre box office at 705-738-2037 or online at globustheatre.com.
As of the date of this story, performances on Friday, November 21 and Saturday, November 22 are sold out, with limited availability for the Saturday, November 15 performance.
Globus Theatre’s 2025 season concludes with its annual traditional British panto, Jack and the Beanstalk by Sarah Quick, from December 3 to 17.
