The Penfield Players’ spring show, Art of Murder, by Joe DiPietro, opens on Friday, April 29 for seven performances. Directed by Mary Ellen Blanchard of Brighton, Art of Murder is the story of an art dealer, his disgruntled client, his client’s wife, and their housekeeper.
Set in the sitting room of a Connecticut country estate, no one is as they seem in this play that combines mystery with a healthy dose of comedy. DiPietro’s Art of Murder won the 2000 Edgar Award for Best Mystery Play, an honor bestowed by the Mystery Writers of America, and he is the author of one of Penfield Players’ most popular productions, Over the River and Through the Woods.
The cast features:
Doug Curry (Rochester) as Vincent, the art dealer; Devon Harris (Greece) as Jack Brooks, the art dealer’s client; Kelli Hobins (Penfield) as Annie Brooks, Jack’s wife; and Shawnda Urie (Irondequoit) as Kate, the Brooks’ housekeeper.
“Expect to be surprised and entertained,” says Blanchard. “Full of twists and turns, we expect this play will keep audiences on the edge of their seats.”
