In the liminal space between Christmas and New Year's, when the world feels suspended and strange, Majestic Repertory Theatre presents an intimate horror experience that explores the darker side of the holiday season. Created by Troy Heard, this immersive production transforms the theater into a solitary hunter's lodge where Nick Klaus, haunted by an irretrievable loss, guides small groups through a ritual meant to confront a hooved creature from folklore—one that may be responsible for more than just stealing presents.

The experience is designed for a limited audience at a time, creating an atmosphere thick with fog and shadow as you take on the role of adventurers on a midwinter hunt. The story weaves together themes of grief, belief, and guilt in a format that blurs the line between performance and participatory ritual. With its focus on the forgotten days after Christmas—those quiet, uncertain hours when one year ends and another hasn't quite begun—it taps into something both melancholic and unsettling.

This is intimate theater in the truest sense, with light physical contact and moments that require you to move through darkness and flashing lights. The production deals with heavy themes including the death of a family member and simulated violence, wrapped in the trappings of winter folklore reimagined for adults who remember when the season felt more mysterious and maybe a little dangerous.
