I’m pleased to announce the cast list for our next production
Our next production is Out of Sight… Out of Murder by Fred Carmichael
Summary:
Peter Knight is grinding out a murder story in an old mansion where another author was murdered years before. A weird electrical storm effects a cosmic snafu and his characters come to life. There’s the lovely ingenue, the trusty butler, a feisty character woman, a dauntless hero, a fascinating “other woman,” the always pregnant serving girl, and the wily lawyer waiting for midnight to read the will. Peter looses control of his characters and there is a murder; the intended victim is Peter. Other murders follow and the culprit is among characters who, having also worked for other authors, know a great deal about the subject. Can Peter find the killer before the killer gets his author? Is romance with the ingenue leading anywhere? Where is the fortune mentioned in the will? All is solved ingeniously with romance, suspense and cosmic wit.
“Refreshing, witty parody.” – Sharon Patroit Leader
“Uproariously funny.” – Greenwich Press Post
“Full of laughs, absorbing and entertaining.” – Times Argus, Montpelier
Out of Sight…Out of Murder was first performed by the Valley Players in Waitsfield, Vermont. It was directed by Curtis Wright.
