THE MINSTREL PLAYERS ANNOUNCE THEIR SUMMER 2010 PRODUCTION!

The Minstrel Players Theatre Company of Northport Village continues their 2010 Season with a Summer production of Anthony Shaffer's comic murder mystery, "Whodunnit". They are coming off their critically acclaimed Spring staging of Noel Coward's, "Blithe Spirit". Performances will be over two weekends only on Saturday, July 24th and 31st at 8 P.M. and Sunday, 3 P.M. matinee performances on July 25th and August 1st at Houghton Hall - Trinity Episcopal Church, 130 Main Street in scenic Northport Village. 

The production marks the directorial debut of Edward H. Kyle III and the cast contains returning Minstrels: Roseann Baldanza, Jim Connors, Evan Donnellan, Keith Junas, Carl Nehring, Ray Palen, Tara Palen and Linda Randolph along with two newcomers to the Minstrels: Addison LeMay and Shane Fallacara. Minstrel co-founder, Debbie Palen, is the Assistant Director and the rest of the crew is rounded out with Robert Cashman - Technical Director, and Bernie Caprera - Lighting Director. "Whodunnit" is a unique murder mystery farce written by the great British playwright and screenwriter, Anthony Shaffer - known for scripting such screen/stage classics as "Sleuth" and "Death On the Nile". When guests respond to a party invitation at Champflower Manor they have no idea what to expect. Little do they know that one of the characters at the Manor is actually a killer and no one may be who they initially appear as. A British Inspector and Sergeant are called upon to try to solve the murder --- but is the joke really on them? The plotting is intricate, the laughs and chills plentiful and the staging is unlike anything seen on the Minstrel Players stage before!

The Minstrel Players are committed to bringing high quality, affordable theater to the Long Island Region. Tickets are $15.00 for adults and $12.00 for Seniors and Children under 12.
