🎄 Magnolia Arts Center Presents 🎄
Murder, Mystery, & Mischief’s production of “Toys, Lies, & Alibis”
The annual North of the Pole Company “Creative Toy-Making Competition” is underway, and the stakes have never been higher! Contestants are vying for a $1,000 prize and the coveted title of Best Toy-Maker — but last year’s champion, Tinsel McJolly, was found dead just one week ago, and rumors of foul play are swirling.
As the competitors take the stage, ambition, secrets, and sabotage lurk beneath the glitter… and not everyone may make it to the final round.
Join us for a night of laughter, twists, and holly-jolly whodunit fun in this interactive murder mystery experience!

The royalty total for the 2025 season is approximately $13,000. Maintaining the building continues to present financial challenges. We currently need to repair a leaky roof and update the sinks in the concession area and dressing room. MAC’s electric bill runs about $800-$900 monthly.
