'The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940' at Villagers Theatre

"The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940" opens at Villagers Theatre this month.

The show opens September 11 and closes September 27. Performances are at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays. Tickets are $18 for adults and $16 for seniors and students. Group rates are available.

Poking antic fun at the more ridiculous aspects of "show biz" and the corny thrillers of Hollywood's heyday, "The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940" is a non-stop barrage of laughter as those assembled (or at least those who aren't killed off) untangle the mystery of the "Stage Door Slasher."

There will be an opening night party on September 11 with complimentary refreshments after the performance, if you interested in staying.

The show is written by John Bishop, directed by Judi Parrish, produced by Emily Russoniello and Howard Gross, and stage managed by Beverly Kuo-Hamilton and Madison Whiting, featuring fight choreography by Katie Downey, costumes by Sue Darling, lighting by Suzanne Wengryn, sound design by Judi Parrish, sound operation by Marissa Madison, and sets by Guy Suabedissen, with Simon Hamilton on stage crew.

The cast features Cindy Chair as Helsa Wenzel, Robyn Mandalakis as Elsa Von Grossenknueten, Arthur Pugh as Sergeant Michael Kelly, Ariana Fort as Nikki Crandall, Bobby Marusiefski as Eddie McKuen, Richard Butler as Ken de la Maize, Mike Levine as Roger Hopewell, Laurie Hardy as Bernice Roth, Gordon Wiener as Patrick O'Reilly, amd Allison DiBiase as Marjorie Baverstock.
