Scary Fun with the Best Western

SCARED SPEECHLESS

Thursday, October 27 2011 7 PM

Location: OCTOBER 27, 28

JCC Cutco Theater

downtown Olean

Phone: 716-376-7508

An original murder-mystery-comedy-musical. The JCC Theater and Culture Club and Olean Toastmasters will be presenting a murder-mystery-comedy-musical this fall. Actors and other participants will be drawn from both JCC and the larger community. The play takes place at a high school reunion. The prom king and queen have been murdered. The problem is all the witnesses have been scared speechless; each person who holds a clue to the crime has recently been told that they have to make a speech at either work, church, or for a special occasion. The comedy explodes as the speechless witnesses attempt to act out their version of the crime. It will take an astute audience to figure this one out! Participants will create their characters based on this premise, with the help of director Anna Bush. For more information, contact Anna at 716-376-7508 or email annabush@mail.sunyjcc.edu
