MURDERED TO DEATH Runs April 12-20

BPI_Murdered to DeathMURDERED TO DEATH
Presented by Beechmont Players Inc.
April 12-20
Anderson Township

Directed by jef brown
Produced by Pam Kaesemeyer

Cast: Steve Phelan as Bunting, Mark Metzner as Colonel Charles Craddock, Nik Pajic as Constable Thompkins, Stephanie Mooney as Dorothy, Merritt Beischel as Elizabeth Hartley-Trumpington, Chuck Haungs as Inspector Pratt, Jan Costello as Joan Maple, Linnea Bond as Margaret Craddock, Cathy Roesener as Mildred & Matt Schnuth as Pierre Marceau

This hilarious spoof of the best of Agatha Christie traditions is set in a country manor house in the 1930’s, with an assembled cast of characters guaranteed to delight – Bunting, the butler; an English Colonel with the prerequisite stiff upper lip; a shady French art dealer and his moll; the bumbling local inspector and a well-meaning local sleuth who seems to attract murder wherever she goes – they’re all here, and all caught up in the side-splitting antics which follow the mysterious death of the house’s owner. It soon becomes clear that the murderer isn’t finished yet, but will the murderer be unmasked before everyone else has met their doom, or will readers and audiences die laughing first?

  • Fri-Sat, April 12-13 at 8pm
  • Sun, April 14 at 3pm
  • Fri, April 19 at 8pm
  • Sat, April 20 at 3pm & 8pm

BPI_logo12Beechmont Players, Inc. announces
AUDITIONS

MY NAME IS RUMPLESTILTSKIN
by Vera Morris

Directed by Larry Behymer
Produced by Donna Surber and Darcy Little

Monday, April 15 & Tuesday, April 16 @ 7:00 PM
At the Anderson Center, 7850 Five Mile Road, Cincinnati, OH 45230

That nasty-tempered wizard, Rumpelstiltskin, is back in this engaging adaptation. Griselda, a four hundred year old witch, tells Rumpelstiltskin that in order to become the most powerful force in the kingdom, he must possess a child of royal birth. The wizard plots and schemes. He spreads the word that Laura, the miller’s daughter, can weave straw into gold. Since the kingdom is bankrupt, she’s whisked off to the palace and ordered to spin and spin. With Rumpelstiltskin’s help she delivers the gold. She has a high fee to pay — her first born child. When Laura marries the prince and produces an heir to the throne, she has twenty-four hours to guess the wizard’s name or lose her child.

The cast has 8 women ranging in age from 17 to 70 and 6 men ages 20 to 60.
