Obie-winning actor Randolph Curtis Rand will join the company of NYC’s longest-running play, Perfect Crime, celebrating its 39th anniversary this year in the Anne L. Bernstein Theater at The Theater Center. He joins the cast in the role of W. Harrison Brent.
Randolph Curtis Rand is an Obie Award-winning theatre artist. Most recently he appeared in the immersive work Life and Trust, created by Teddy Bergman, The Kuperman Brothers, and others. His credits include work with Actors Theatre of Louisville, Bedlam, Joseph Chaikin, Elevator Repair Service, Richard Foreman, Pig Iron, The Public Theater, The Rude Mechs, The Wooster Group, and many more.
The perfect show for CSI and Law & Order fans, Perfect Crime tells the story of brilliant but money-hungry psychiatrist and suspected cold-blooded killer Margaret Brent, her wealthy husband, deranged patient, and the handsome detective who’s falling in love with her while trying to solve the crime. The production, written by the late Warren Manzi and produced by Armand Michael Hyatt, has the distinction of being the only show (on or Off-Broadway) that has run in New York City during the 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s, and now the 20s. The ‘urban legend’ has managed to withstand the test of time – evolving with the changing styles, technology, culture, audiences, and various crises around it.
Perfect Crime features Catherine Russell, who has performed in the show since its first performance and has never taken a sick day or a vacation day in the past 39 years! It’s a feat that has landed her in the Guinness Book of World Records.
The Theater Center, the only Off-Broadway venue with a Broadway address, is in New York's Theater District. Since April 2005, it has offered Off-Broadway entertainment in a 20,000-square-foot complex featuring two theaters and rehearsal spaces. Uniquely, we provide Live AI Translation in over 50 languages.

Bernstein Theater with Perfect Crime, New York's longest-running play, and the Jerry Orbach Theater with shows like The Office! A Musical Parody, Friends! A Musical Parody, and Singfeld!
