Agatha Christie’s “And then There Were None” Opens March 15 at Schenectady Civic Players

The fourth play of Schenectady Civic Players’ 91st Season, And Then There Were None, by Agatha Christie and directed by Brian Sheldon, opens Friday, March 15, and plays through Sunday, March 24 at its 12 South Church Street Playhouse in Schenectady’s historic Stockade district.

Ten strangers are summoned to a remote island. All that the guests have in common is a wicked past they’re unwilling to reveal and a secret that will seal their fate. For each has been marked for murder. As the weather turns and the group is cut off from the mainland, the bloodbath begins and one by one they are brutally murdered in accordance with the lines of a sinister nursery rhyme. “A perfect combination of thriller and detective story, this much-copied plot is Christie’s greatest technical achievement.” — John Curran, The Guardian.

The cast features Matthew W. Coviello (as Phillip Lombard), Sara Paupini (as Vera Claythorne), Knathan MacKenzie-Roy (as Anthony Marston), Adam Coons (as William Blore), David Orr (as General Mackenzie), Kevin X. McNamara (as Sir Lawrence Wargrave), Judi Merriman (as Emily Brent), John Sutton (as Dr. Armstrong), Rich Angehr (as Rogers). Susan Katz (as Mrs. Rogers), and Alan Angelo (as Fred Narracott).

And Then There Were None runs Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (March 15, 16, 17) and 20 through 24. Friday and Saturday curtains are at 8 pm. Wednesday and Thursday curtains are at 7:30 pm., and Sundays are matinees only at 2:30 pm.
