Cast set for murder mystery ... or is it?
Brentwood Home Page news reports
Towne Centre Theatre’s concluded its auditions and set its cast for Night of January 16, a suspenseful courtroom drama. But that doesn’t mean that you’ve missed your chance to take a starring role.
Willing members of the audience will be selected from a lottery to participate as jury members on stage as the cast performs around them. The jury will deliberate and reach a verdict, which means that the play could have a different ending for each performance.
Night of January 16 opens Feb. 10 for a three-week run at the Frierson Street theater. Tickets go on sale Jan. 27.
The play’s plot revolves around the murder trial of Karen Andre. Bjorn Faulkner has swindled millions of dollars from investors by investing cash he did not have in order to control the gold trade. In the wake of a crash, he is facing bankruptcy despite the injection of money by Mr. John Graham Whitfield, a prominent banker whose daughter, Nancy Lee, married Faulkner shortly after the loan.
On the night of Jan. 16, Karen Andre and Bjorn are in the penthouse at the top of the Faulkner Building in New York when Faulkner falls to his death. The purpose of the play is to decide if it may have been a suicide -- or murder.
The real cast includes:
- Ryan Arthur as Homer Van Fleet
- J Baugh as Judge Heath
- Tony Whitfield as DA Flint
- Kevin Bryant as Defense Attorney Stevens
- Bob Buchholz as Dr. Kirkland
- Howard Snyder as John Hutchens
- Lynn Yates as Magda Svenson

- Dan Linney as John Graham Whitfield
- Cary Smith as Segurd Junquist
- Ed Warr as James Chandler

The production is directed by Jim Himelrick, produced by Kari Smith, and Stage managed by Becca Schaefer.
