Kentwood Players is a non-profit community theater organization in the Westchester neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.
History
Kentwood Players got its start (and its name) when members of the PTA at Kentwood Elementary School in Westchester, having presented a play at the school, decided to keep on presenting plays. So in 1950 they founded a community theater organization, which has been going strong ever since.
The young organization went through a series of home stages—a barn, a pump house, and a restaurant—until 1960, when the players bought an old warehouse and transformed it into a 112-seat proscenium-stage theater, the Westchester Playhouse.

The Chipping Cleghorn Gazette has a peculiar ad posted in the personal section stating, “A murder is announced and will take place on Friday, October the thirteenth, at Little Paddocks - at six-thirty p.m.” Everyone living at Little Paddocks is skeptical if this is hoax… or if there is truth to the column. When a mystery man arrives at the aforementioned time attempting to kill Miss Blacklock, a murder does indeed take place, but it is the killer who is found dead. In true Agatha Christie style, this classic whodunit has many suspects, each with their own motives. Inspector Craddock is on the case interviewing those present at the murder while gathering clues and other pertinent details. When another death occurs, the Inspector is assisted by the ultimate sleuth, Miss Marple, who ultimately solves the case.
