“Miss Tweed fancies herself a sleuth, however her experience is only with mystery novels, especially ones by Agatha Christie,” Murray said. “The happenings at the Rancour Mansion are a dream come true for her in some ways as she casts herself as a ‘Miss Marple’ as she attempts to solve the mysterious murders of her fellow guests.”
The juvenile Geoffrey is played by Jon Hacker of Trenton.
“He is a college student who is on the rowing team. He becomes in the house cause his rowing boat sinks and he swims to the island and finds himself in the house,” Hacker said.
The producer of “Something’s Afoot” is Linda L. Getz, who has announced her “retirement” from producing for GHCT.
Dan Murrell, who passed away in 2004, directed the original GHCT production of “Something’s Afoot.”
“He was a former student of mine,” McCollom said. “We’re dedicating this show to his memory and will have a lobby display about his work with Greater Hamilton Civic Theatre.”
