Silent Night of the Lambs

By Ryan Landry

Directed by Susan Clement

November 19th - December 19th

A twisted comedic take on two classic but vastly different tales. Silent Night of the Lambs mixes one part Oscar-winning thriller (The Silence of the Lambs) with one-part beloved holiday TV special (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer) to serve up an unforgettably twisted recipe for mayhem and mistletoe. Will those damn lambs ever stop laughing?!
