This hilarious farce spoofs the detective thriller genre. The plot involves the overly-ambitious and talent-challenged middle-aged ladies of a working class British village who present their hysterical community theatre production of an original Agatha Christie-type whodunit called "Murder at Checkmate Manor." As is typical for these dingbat divas, everything that can go wrong, does. From forgotten lines and missed cues to lost props and broken furniture to multiple costume changes and lighting and sound effects that all could have used more rehearsal time, the ladies valiantly insist on entertaining you against your will and guarantee to bring down the house -- or at least a substantial part of the set.

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.
