Start with a delicious buffet luncheon with all foods prepared on the premises.

Following lunch enjoy the hilarious Matinee performance of A Christmas Cactus!

Christmas Eve is tough for private investigator Cactus O’Riley, a white hot redhead with the holiday blues. She doesn’t need the added aggravation of two fugitives who burst into her office looking for justice and a dead detective named Jake Marley.  Christmas turns into a dickens of a holiday for Cactus as she solves mysteries, delivers small miracles and takes a second chance on love and sleuthing.  Comedy, mystery, and romance converge in this charming contemporary Christmas tale where goodwill and justice triumph!

Following the Matinee, return to your seat in the dining room for a holiday themed Cabaret Show!
