The Charter Arts Theatre Department is proud to present a season full of mystery and mayhem, kicking off with The Plot, Like Gravy, Thickens by Billy St. John, October 24-26.
Inspired by Agatha Christie, this play takes a comic and contemporary spin on the classic whodunit. With a playwright leading the audience through his process, characters who break the fourth wall and audience participation to help solve the case, The Plot, Like Gravy, Thickens, will keep you on the edge of your seat in more ways than one.
This production is directed by Anelise Rodriguez and features a talented cast of young actors supported by a dynamic team of designers and crew.
Design credits include: Set and Lighting Design by Ellen Schmoyer, Costume Design by Amy Handkammer, Sound Design by Carlo Acerra, and Prop Design by Brett Mathews.
This comedic murder mystery promises a delightful evening of suspense and surprises! Rodriguez shares: “The audience can expect the same excitement and intrigue from a classic murder mystery but with a lot more humor. That’s what appealed to me most about this play – St. John’s ability to take something familiar, maybe a bit predictable, and make it feel new.”
