The Berry College Theatre Company will open their spring season April 4, with the musical "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder".
The show runs April 4-7, Thursday to Saturday at 7 p.m. with a matinee performance on Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets are available online at: www.berry.edu/onstage
"A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder" follows Monty Narravo as he discovers that he is ninth in line to an earldom currently occupied by the well-known D'Y squith family. Soon after this discovery and his rejection by the lovely and vain Sibella Hayward, the eccentric members of the D'Ysquith family begin dying in mysterious ways. Along the way, Monty meets his distant cousin, the beautiful and naive Phoebe D'Y squith, placing him in the middle of a complicated love triangle.
Scott Willis, an artist affiliate at Berry, is directing the show.
"Directing A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder has been an absolute joy, filled with endless creativity and laughter throughout the production process,” Willis said. “From casting to rehearsals, every moment has been a delightful exploration of wit and charm. I've had the privilege of working with an incredibly talented cast and crew who have brought this comedic masterpiece to life with passion and dedication.”
Junior theatre major Mary Claire Page is playing the character Sibella Hayward.
"This show is nothing but pure joy and silliness from start to finish,” Page said. “It's hilarious, over-the-top, and everything you love about musical theatre. Sibella has been so much fun to play, and I hope audiences love her just as much as I do!"
