HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, KY – The Commonwealth Theatre Company at Northern Kentucky University opens its 2014 Summer Dinner Theatre season.
THE GAME’S AFOOT by Ken Ludwig kicks off the summer running June 11 to June 29. It is December 1936 and Broadway star William Gillette, admired the world over for his leading role in the play Sherlock Holmes, has invited his fellow cast-members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous. Then it’s up to Gillette himself, as he assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears. The danger and hilarity are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas holidays.
Among the cast of CTC newcomers and veterans are NKU faculty members Sandra Forman, Mike King, and Christine Jones. Current NKU student Jennifer Rhodenhiser and CCM Drama student Spencer House are making their CTC debuts. The cast is rounded out by Rodger Pille, Liz Comstock, and Mindy Heithaus.
