In the full play, The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940, a strange scent of murder was in the air throughout the play. Although it was short with little amount of scenes, the production was entertaining to say the least. A small cast of only 12 members did a great job of capturing the audience’s attention and keeping the spirit of the play alive.
Dramatic killings and mysterious characters made for an enjoyable show, as well as the cast members keeping with lines and being the perfect balance of dramatic and realistic. The show was ultimately a success. Not to mention the beautiful backdrop and intricate backdrop the art club provided for the production.
Hidden passage ways by means of sliding and revolving bookshelves kept the audience on their toes as the cast members tried to find out which one of them could possible be the “Stage Door Slasher.” This production is definitely of the theatre with its dramatic and hilarious sense of murder. Being a young cast, hopefully this means the upcoming productions of our own Pleasant Plains High School are going to stay filled with excitement and talent just as this play was.
