Madcap Murder Mystery Takes Stage in Werner Centennial Center
Members of the Westminster community enjoyed the hilarious Weston Playhouse Theatre Company’s production of “Murder for Two,” April 10 as part of the of the Graham Gund ’59 Visiting Artist Series. Members of the Gund Family established the Graham Gund ’59 Visiting Artist Series fund in 1991 in honor of Graham Gund ’59 at his 50th birthday. Income from the fund underwrites the cost of bringing outstanding artists to Westminster to enrich students’ understanding and appreciation of the performing arts. The visiting artists perform in Werner Centennial Theater.
This classic musical comedy meets madcap murder mystery features two actors playing 13 roles and one piano! Small-town cop Marcus Moscowicz tries desperately to prove his sleuthing skills and solve the murder of the great American novelist Arthur Whitney before the real detective shows up.
The producing artistic director was Steve Stettler, a member of the Westminster faculty from 1974-1980. Standing by Steve as choreographer and associate director was Wendy Seyb, who has worked on “Murder for Two” since it opened in New York, choreographing the off-Broadway production and the national tour. The two actors were Ian Lowe (Marcus) and Kyle Branzel (The Suspects).
Following the performance, students and faculty were able to meet with the actors to ask questions about some of the challenges of the fast-paced production. “You have to remember the body is always there,” Branzel told the students. While Lowe shared, “Each pairing has its own energy.”
“Murder for Two” was presented through special arrangement with Murder for Two Musical LLC.
