Kentwood Players Presents The Farndale Avenue… Murder Mystery

Kentwood Players welcomes the New Year 2011 with
"The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society Murder Mystery" by David McGillivray and Walter Zerlin Jr., a hilarious farce that spoofs the detective thriller genre. The show runs from Friday, January 14 to Saturday, February 19 with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00pm and Sundays at 2:00pm at the Westchester Playhouse, located at 8301 Hindry Avenue in Westchester (LA 90045). The production is directed by Scott Martin and produced by Lori A. Marple-Pereslete and Linda Reinhardt by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.

The laughs abound as overly-ambitious and talent-challenged middle-aged ladies of a working class British village present their hysterical community theatre production of an original Agatha Christie-type whodunit called "Murder at Checkmate Manor." As is typical for these dingbat divas, everything that can go wrong, does. From forgotten lines and missed cues to lost props and broken furniture to multiple costume changes and lighting and sound effects that all could have used more rehearsal time, the ladies valiantly insist on entertaining you against your will and guarantee to bring down the house -- or at least a substantial part of the set!

Featured in the cast are Joanna Churgin, Vada Foster, Jayne Hamil, Deborah Ishida and Shaina Zalma who do their best to prove that "the show must go on."
