Play On!
Written by Rick Abbot
Directed by Dina Rehanek
SYNOPSIS✨️
A comedy about a community theatre group struggling to produce a murder mystery, "Murder Most Foul," despite a haughty playwright constantly changing the script.
The story follows the director, Gerry, who tries to stage a locally written murder mystery to save money, only to find out that the script is a disaster. The playwright, Phyllis Montague, continually rewrites scenes and the cast is getting increasingly frustrated. Set problems, deleted sound effects, missed cues, and last-minute script changes, lead to a chaotic, final performance.
