Theatre Department to present spring play

Cloud County Community College’s Theatre Department will present its spring play, “The Murder Mystery at the Murder Mystery,” March 3-5 in Cook Theatre on the Concordia campus. Showtime for March 3 and 4 will be at 7 p.m., and a matinee performance on March 5 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $5, but CCCC students will be admitted free.

Shocking events keep interrupting the dress rehearsal for a British murder mystery, and mayhem ensues as the line between fiction and reality becomes increasingly blurred. The players at The Murder Mystery Playhouse are rehearsing a new show, “Putting a Little English on It.” At the final dress rehearsal, the lights go out and a character dies onstage – only this murder wasn’t in the script! Will the show go on? Or will it be the final curtain call for the whole cast?

The cast for the play includes: Scarlet Mays/Ms. Polly, Aeryn Rekward, Wamego; Holly Hanover/Mrs. Margaret Polk, Ryah Klima, Concordia; Sandy Smith/Gertrude Polk, Kaitlyn Beikmann, Clifton; Misty Gere/The Maid, Brooklyn Stevens, South Bend, Ind.; Richard Green/Mr. Frederick Polk, Asher Ross, Onaga; Tom Baines/Mr. Humphrey Black, Warren Abonza, Manhattan; Gary Ferguson/Inspector Bradshaw & Brian D. Taylor, Mason Knudsen, Paola; Erica Stone, Hannah Brown, Ellsworth; Brett Donahue, Jeremiah Johnson, Salina; Susan Wells, Kiana Champlin, Concordia; Inspector Wright, Zoe Merz, Concordia; Inspector Fuller, Mary Shaffer, Lebannon; Adele Sears, Carryna Light, McCool Junction, Neb.

The play is produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Service, Inc., and will be directed by Dr. Julia Galm, Cloud County Speech and English instructor. Contact Galm at julia.galm@cloud.edu, or 785.243.1435, ext. 241, for more information.
