Murder Mystery at the Art Colony – Sept 9
Sep 9, 23 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
To be performed as a fundraiser for the Historical Society of Woodstock
It's 1902 and you're invited to dine at the new Byrdcliffe Art Colony. You’ll socialize with Ralph Whitehead and his wife Jane Byrd McCall. Artist Bolton Brown and hotelier Elizabeth Reynolds will also be present along with college professor Percy Longfellow. You'll be fussed over by a loyal butler and a fortune-hunting maid. Katherine Kerry, a local writer for the Kingston Daily Freeman, observes much more than merriment and gaiety when she witnesses a murder.
Written and directed by Anika Krempl for Theatre on the Road, her historical whodunits have enjoyed sold-out performances throughout the Hudson Valley since 2015. Anika remarked, “Mystery at the Art Colony is a work of historic fiction. Although it features four historic characters, we do not represent any of them as a murderer. Like all of Frank Marquette’s productions, it is rich in fact and fiction, comedy, drama and mystery.”
Along with Anika Krempl, the cast includes Theatre on the Road owner-operator Frank Marquette, Erica Woolley, Nicole Prepeluk, Tom Roberts, Lauren Roberts, Ken Stallon and Jim Keenen. Live period music will be performed by Hannah Tufano.
“Mystery at the Art Colony” will be performed as a fundraiser for the Historical Society of Woodstock, on Saturday, September 9 at 7:00 pm and Sunday, September 10 at 5:00 pm. Tickets are $18.00 in advance and $20.00 the day of the event. Light refreshments will be available for a nominal fee.
Celebrating its 25th year in business, Theatre on the Road is owned and operated by Frank and Kirsten Marquette of Rosendale, New York. For more information visit www.theatreontheroad.com
