"Let's Murder Marsha", a riotous comedy presented by the Pelican Players Community Theater

“Let’s Murder Marsha,” a giddy romp through the paranoid reality of Marsha Gilmore, a housewife addicted to mystery novels. When she overhears something she shouldn’t, Marsha rushes around frantically trying to figure out how to keep from getting bumped off. The plot becomes increasingly hilarious as the play continues, with misunderstandings galore, nutty characters, and a cat-and-mouse game between two factions with wildly different motives. “‘Let’s Murder Marsha’ is a fast, playful farce built on secrets, chaos, and big laughs,” say Director Kevin Steinke and Assistant Director Gwen Brown. “As directors, we’re leaning into the momentum and letting the comedy sparkle.” Michele Horvath is the stage manager. The part of Marsha Gilmore is played by Donna Fiore; Bianca by Dawna Gantvoort; Persis Devore by Julie Ramsey; Tobias Gilmore by Bob Horvath; Virgil Baxter by James Williams; Lynette by Jeanne Naish; and Ben Quade by Peter Geller. Audiences from Sun City Center and all surrounding communities will have four opportunities to see the play, starting Friday, July 24, at 6:30 p.m.; Saturday, July 25, at 1:30 and 6:30 p.m.; and Sunday, July 26, at 1:30 p.m. Doors open 30 minutes before curtain. Tickets are on sale at the Kings Point Box Office from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday-Friday. Evening performances are $18; $15 for the matinee. Tickets will also be sold at the door for each show; no credit cards accepted at the door and correct change is appreciated. Reserved, cabaret-style seating plus open bleacher seating is available. BYO drinks and snacks! All performances are at the Kings Point Veterans Theater in the North Clubhouse, 1900 Clubhouse Drive in Sun City Center.
