Celebrate Hallowe'en with a murder filled evening at Lakeland Community Theatre. The final weekend of shows gets under way Thursday Oct 30th 7:30pm with performances on October 31st and November 1st at 7:30pm and Sunday at 2pm.The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940 is about a group of "show people" who meet at a house full of secret passages and odd people. They are there to read a new musical for a wealthy supporter and become stranded in a snow storm. Mayhem and murder follow, people disappearing, spies and double or even triple identities abound and the characters try to figure out which one of them is the Stage Door Slasher! There are police officers, Naval intelligence agents and Nazi spies involved too.
The cast is a mixture of LCT 'veterans' - Benedict Heaps, Anita Kollinger, Susan Lovell, Jerry Martinez, Drew McCalmon, Tom Mook and Jan Welch and 'newcomers' to our stage - Jordan Burg, Jeff Pearlman and Brad Vater.
The Lakeland Ledger says of the cast - "Benedict Heaps, is brilliant as Helsa Wenzel, the transvestite German maid. His transformation is so convincing that only his Adam's apple and his name in the playbill evidence his true gender."
"Jordan Burg is bright and has great stage presence. Bradley Vater (has) a quick sense of the comedic. Together they are a charming stage couple"
Jan Welch as "Bernice Roth, is a believable, self-involved, alcoholic Broadway composer, realistically communicates her two interests in life: capturing a lyric and drinking."
So come and check it out for yourself. Tickets are available at the box office 863 603 7529 or online at www.lakelandcommunitytheatre.com
