Lancaster Community Players
The cast and crew of Rehearsal for Murder would like to everyone who came to the show! We are very glad the community supports local theater, and without our loyal following, we truly could not have sustained our presence among you for 41 years! You are a big part of what makes Southwest Wisconsin such a great place to live! We can’t wait to see you again in the spring of 2020.
The Lancaster Community Player’s fall performance of Rehearsal for Murder adapted by D.D. Brooke has been cast and is in rehearsal! Director Ann Dolan and Producer Mike Walter are excited to have such talented actors in our cast! This marvelous murder mystery is a play within a play and the actors represent various people involved in the theatre business on Broadway. Sally Harper plays the flamboyant producer, Amy Alcott is the lovely understudy, Stu Harper is the arrogant leading man, Bill Haskins is the comedic actor, Kevin Koester is the director, Mike Steffel plays the playwright, Lisa Nicolai is the lovely leading lady, and Apryl Bennett plays the secretary and assistant to the playwright. We round out the cast with Kim Marten, Lisa Zabel, Carson Smith and Bo Hansen playing various mysterious roles!
Rehearsal for Murder is a thrilling “theatrical” mystery in which the theatre becomes the set for the play. The playwright turns on the stage lights and prepares for the first reading of his new play. The actors, producer, director and others connected with the show come onto the stage, and under their humorous theatrical talk, tensions grow. We discover that everyone connected with this play was involved with another play by the same playwright. Exactly one year ago and in the same theatre, the beautiful leading lady, who was also the playwright’s fiancee, died! Suicide or Murder? That’s what we’ll discover when we follow all of the twists and turns of this show!
