[NEohioPAL] Come be an 'Accomplice'

Hudson Players Ready “Accomplice” 

Sure to Amuse and Fool Mystery Comedy to be Presented in November

 

With the month of October upon us and mystery and intrigue the expected
mood, it should be a surprise that The Hudson Players are busy preparing the
fun, inventive mystery/comedy Accomplice, written by Rupert Holmes for
presentation to local theater audiences November 7, 8, 14, 15, 21 & 22. The
play is so unique, clever and enjoyable in fact, that it was honored by the
Mystery Writers of America with its “Edgar” (Allen Poe) Award, the “Oscar”
of the mystery field. Of course, keeping the show’s surprises intact is
essential to maximum enjoyment and mayhem. So how does one describe a show
then without actually describing the show? As one critic summed it up
“Thriller? Sure. Suspense? Yes. Comedy? Plenty. Sex? Definitely. But does
that necessarily mean anybody is having thrilling and suspenseful sex while
laughing? Maybe.” This is one mystery you don’t want to miss, but reserve
early otherwise the group warns that it will be murder getting tickets.
(Tickets are available via their website at www.hudsonplayers.com
<http://www.hudsonplayers.com/>  or by calling 330-655-8522)

The show has adult themes and language and is thus not recommended for
children. However it is fun and hard to figure out, which should thrill
mystery buffs and non-mystery buffs alike. It takes place at the renovated
moorland residence of Derek and Janet Taylor and sort of like an Agatha
Christie mystery
if of course Agatha Christie was Rupert Holmes. More
details would spoil the fun. After all, we could tell you all about the plot
twists and other surprises that leave the audience gasping, but then we'd
have to kill you. Or would we? "Accomplice" takes you down any number of
twisted paths, trying to figure out how Holmes is going to work his way out
of the maze into which he takes the audience. 


Accomplice is being directed by Claudia Lillibridge and produced by Kirk
Worcester and Marianne Karlson. It features Denise Bernstein as Janet,
Darlene Rocco as Melinda, Mitch Manthey as Derek and Doug Lillibridge as
Jon.


And for those of you who are wondering, yes Holmes is that Rupert Holmes,
the one who regrets he is mostly famous for a little song he wrote about
piña coladas ["The Pina Colada Song"]. But he is also a playwright, having
tossed out convention with his Tony Award-winning 1986 musical, The Mystery
of Edwin Drood and a number of other shows.


Performance dates are November 7, 8, 14, 15, 21 & 22. Tickets are $12 and
are available now via the web at www.HudsonPlayers.com
<http://www.hudsonplayers.com/>  or by calling 330-655-8522. Please Note,
this show contains adult situations and language and is not recommended for
children. Curtain time is 8 p.m. Group and senior discounts are available. 


 

The Hudson Players are located right in the heart of Hudson, Ohio in the
Barlow Community Center and are one of the area’s longest running community
theaters currently celebrating their 64th Season. With a rich history of
great shows, community involvement and an ultra-friendly performing
environment the group embodies its unofficial slogan of “good shows, good
friends, good times.
