Detective Nick Holliday (Mark Creamer) is confronted by grieving widow Kathleen DeLucci (Kimberly Fisher) who is trying to find the murderer of her husband in EMTC’s production of ‘Parlor City Noir,’ Friday, 7 p.m. and Sunday, 3 p.m. at the Great Bend VFW, Main St., Great Bend.
Endless Mountains Theatre Company presents ‘Parlor City Noir,’ a Nick Holliday, P.I. play, originally written by David Schmidt, and under the direction of Bonnie Love-Colwell.
The play takes place in the 1940s, the era of hardboiled detectives and gangsters and promises its share of laughter as well as intrigue.
Nick Holliday PI and his girl Friday, Dora Chase, are hired by a grieving widow, Mrs. Kathleen DeLucci,, to find the murderer of her husband – an art gallery owner named Peter DeLucci.
But as Nick and Dora soon find out there is nothing routine about this case as they run afoul of a numbers racketeer and a shadowy underworld figure known as “the Sicilian;” all leading to an ending that is sure to surprise.
Performances will be held Friday, Nov. 8, 7 p.m., and Sunday, Nov. 10, 3 p.m. at the Great Bend VFW, Main St., Great Bend. Check the future editions of the Susquehanna County Independent for listings.
Schmidt, EMTC’s published playwright, was awarded a Northeast Pennsylvania Theater Alliance Award (NEPTA) for “Best Original Production” earlier this year for his play “Tales of Dark Imagination III,” presented by EMTC in 2012.
Advance tickets are available for $10 at the VFW Post and tickets are also available at the door. A cash bar will be open one hour before each show.
