The Rye High School Parsons Street Players proudly kicks off its 2012-13 theatrical season with an innovative program of comedy and mystery October 12 and 13. For the first time, two plays are being performed with two extraordinary casts.
Christopher Durang’s “An Actor’s Nightmare” is an hilarious one-act satire detailing the plight of a stranger who is suddenly pushed on stage to replace an ailing actor. He has no knowledge of his lines, or even what play he’s in. Is it “Hamlet”, Noel Coward’s “Private Lives”, or some other play? And why is he there?
Then be prepared for intrigue and suspense as you watch Agatha Christie’s renowned play, “And Then There Were None”. Join a disparate group of people who are invited to a house party on a remote island. The host is absent, they’re all accused of murder, and bodies stack up like leaves in autumn. This is Christie’s most-performed play and was made into the film “Ten Little Indians”. See if you can figure out ‘who dun it’, before it’s too late.
Performances are Friday, October 12 at 8 p.m., and Saturday, October 13 at 2 and 8 p.m. Tickets are sold at the performances, and are $10 for adults, $5 for students. Admission is free for senior citizens.
