WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION Opens at HMT!

 

Home Made Theater continues their 29th season with Agatha Christie’s WITNESS
FOR THE PROSECUTION. The show runs weekends February 7th through February
23th at the Spa Little Theater in the Saratoga Spa State Park. 

This courtroom mystery is said to be Agatha Christie’s own personal
favorite. Only she could have conceived such a suspenseful thriller and then
capped it off with so many twists and turns along the way. Leonard Vole
stands in the dock, accused of murder. His wife can prove his innocence but
when she takes the stand she denies his alibi. Can he escape the hangman’s
noose? The courtroom proceedings will keep you guessing until the final
curtain.

The director of WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION is Dianne O’Neill Filer who has
directed and costumed numerous shows around the world including HMT’s AND
THEN THERE WERE NONE and THE 39 STEPS last season.  She has an MFA in
Theater from Sarah Lawrence College and served on the Board of Cameo Theater
and The Acting Company of Greenwich for many years.  Dianne taught drama at
Brunswick School and Greenwich Academy for 20 years and most recently taught
art and drama at the Doan Stuart School in Albany.  

The cast of WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION includes Victor Cahn as Sir Wilfred
Robarts, Devra Cohen-Tigör as Romaine, Jonathan Hefter as Leonard Vole,
Robin Leary as Miss Myers, William M. Sanderson as Mr. Mayhew, Terri Storti
as Janet Mackenzie, and Rick Wissler as Justice Wainwright.   The artistic
team includes scenic designer Mary Fran Hughes, lighting designer Kyle Van
Sandt, costume designer Sherry Recinella, sound designer El Musiko Archivo
and properties designer Anne-Marie Baker. Performances are Fridays and
