Photo Flash: MURDER FOR TWO Opens This Friday At Actors' Playhouse

Actors' Playhouse presents the mystery musical comedy Murder for Two, with book and music by Joe Kinosian and book and lyrics by Kellen Blair, from July 17 - August 11, 2019 at the Miracle Theatre. The production will preview on Wednesday and Thursday, July 17 - 18, 2019, and open on Friday, July 19, 2019.

Great American novelist Arthur Whitney has been murdered at his own birthday party, and his killer could be any one of the guests. But this is no ordinary murder mystery. The entire world of this hilarious musical is brought to life by two incredible performers: one plays the detective, the other plays all 10 suspects, and both play the piano! Murder for Two is an irrepressibly wacky tour-de-force musical that NewYork1 dubbed "a must-see 90-minute jolt of caffeinated creativity!"

Directed by Actors' Playhouse Artistic Director David Arisco, the acting company includes Martin Landry as The Suspects, and Mark Schenfisch as Marcus. Since joining the national tour of Murder for Two in 2015, Landry has appeared as (or stood by for) both The Suspects and/or Marcus at eight different theatres in seven different states. In addition to Off-Broadway, tours, and numerous regional credits, Landry also served as the Music Director for the Off-Broadway run of Real Men, directed by David Arisco. As a writer, his full-length musical Esther (co-written with his wife, Janice Landry) has been performed over 80 times around the world. Schenfisch, a pianist, accordionist, actor and writer, has performed in multiple productions of Murder for Two as Marcus. His other regional credits as an actor include Billy Elliot at Media Theatre and Sirens at Williamston Theatre.

The creative team for Murder for Two includes Musical Direction by Martin Landry, Set Design by Gene Seyffer and Jodi Dellaventura, Lighting Design by Eric Nelson, Sound Design by Shaun Mitchell, Costume Design by Ellis Tillman and Properties Design by Jodi Dellaventura.
