Upcoming Shows
This Murder Was Staged is a fast-paced, interactive murder mystery dinner theatre where opening night takes a deadly turn. When the director is found dead on stage, everyone becomes a suspect, and the audience is invited along for an evening of laughter, intrigue, and unexpected twists. Join Culpeper Little Theatre this October for our first-ever traveling dinner theatre experience at three unique venues across Culpeper County.
Based on the true story, this heartwarming holiday musical follows young Virginia O’Hanlon’s timeless quest to discover if Santa Claus is real—and reminds us all to believe in the spirit of Christmas.
