Port Angeles Community Players to host ‘Murder Most Fowl’

PORT ANGELES — The Port Angeles Community Players’ Children’s Theater will present “Murder Most Fowl” at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday.

The murder mystery will be onstage at the Port Angeles Community Playhouse, 1235 E. Lauridsen Blvd.

Tickets are $10 per person, $5 for children. They are available at www.pacommunityplayers.org or at the door.

The play was written by Craig Sodaro and is directed by Children’s Theater alumna Olivia Wray.

Cast members include Lily Arrington, Olivia Biddle, Emma Briggance, Caroline Brown, Axel Coughenour, Alix Hain, Alivia Halverson, Evelyn Halverson, Alex Herring, Liam Irwin, Kai Lachner, Zea Kasten, Noah Larsen, McHenry Miller, Mitlda Redlin, Kinsley Shrout, Aubrey Tanner, Henry Wendel, Isaac Wendel, Piper Wikert, Grace Williams and Selena Zhang.

”This show has been an amazing journey,” Wray said. “I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the process that is putting this show together unfold.”

In the whodunit, chefs from around the world have gathered at Pickachick High School to participate in an international chicken cooking contest sponsored by Captain Curry, founder of the Chicken Hut chain of restaurants.

The contest, which is to be televised on the Let’s Eat Network, descends into chaos when Frank Fricassee, the favored chef, is found dead and his top-secret recipe missing.

Newspaper reporters Burgundy and Carla will work with the studio audience and the school’s students to pluck out the evidence, establishing motives of many suspects to determine the killer.

The studio audience will name the murderer, who could be a different person each performance.
