Clare Rose Playhouse Kicks Off Its 28th Season
September 25, 2012
PATCHOGUE, N.Y. September 26, 2012 The Clare Rose Playhouse, a community theatre located on the Long Island Campus of St. Josephs College, will open its 28th season with the comedy A Little Murder Never Hurt Anybody. The show will run from September 28 through October 14, 2012.
A Little Murder Never Hurt Anybody, by Ron Bernas, is a screwball comedy in which a husband and wife play a most dangerous game with a humorous twist. On New Years Eve, wealthy Matthew Perry envies his widower friend and pledges to kill his own wife so that he too may take up a careless single lifestyle. He hastily tells his wife Julia of his plan and she tells him about a resolution of her own: to be alive to make a toast at years end. As the plot unfolds, the spouses find themselves in the midst of a murder mystery while competing in a hilarious battle of wits or witlessness.
Individual tickets for this show are priced at $15; $12 for students and seniors. Show times are 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. on Sundays. For more information, please call the box office at 631.654.0199.
The Clare Rose Playhouse, which serves as a major teaching facility for the Colleges theater courses, is accessible via the South Service Road of Sunrise Highway, just east of Exit 52 (Waverly Avenue) in Patchogue, on the northeast corner of the campus of St. Josephs College.
