Director Rusty Ogden announced the cast of Done to Death,
a mystery-comedy to be presented by The Whole Backstage on February
13-15 and 19-21, 2004. Five mystery writers attempt to write a
television series. Laughs follow surprises as each writer takes a turn
solving murders in his own style. The story alternates between reality
and imagination scenes and sometimes even involves audience
participation.
The
cast is as follows: Debbie Moss (Douglas) as Jessica Olive; Rich Resler
(Guntersville) as Whitney Olive; Michelle Free (Guntersville) as Mildred
Z. Maxwell; Christopher Carter (New Hope) as Brad Benedict; Mike Murdock
(Boaz) as Rodney Duckton; Jeff Smith (Decatur) as Jason Summers; Elyse
Parker (Grant) as Jane; and Will Smith (Guntersville) as Gregory.
Other
cast members are: Diane Creel (Arab) as Martha, Frank Lawrence (Grant)
as George, Brad Keel (Guntersville) as the Stagehand; Ted Creel
(Arab) as the Monster; Autumn Hankins (Guntersville) as the Girl,
Stefanie Naumann (Dresden, Germany) as the Secretary; Lauren O'Neal
(Boaz) as Stephanie; and Kate Bilke (Grant) as the Box Office Girl.
This
play will be presented at the playhouse at 1120 Rayburn Avenue since
renovations have been delayed due to initial bids coming in higher than
originally anticipated. The Whole Backstage has purchased comfortable,
padded folding chairs to be utilized in this show and during their
renovations.
