THE MINSTREL PLAYERS PRESENT PATRICK HAMILTON'S CLASSIC THRILLER "ROPE" 

DIRECTED BY TARA PALEN AT HOUGHTON HALL THEATRE

The Minstrel Players Theatre Company of Northport Village prepare for their fall production of Patrick Hamilton's classic thriller, "ROPE". Performances begin on October 25th and run through November 9th at Houghton Hall Theatre at Trinity Episcopal Church, 130 Main Street in scenic Northport Village. Performances will take place on Saturdays, October 25th, November 1st and 8th at 8 P.M, and Sundays, October 26th, November 2nd and 9th at 3 P.M. 

The Minstrel Players are fresh off their critically acclaimed staging of Kaufman and Hart's comedy classic "The Man Who Came To Dinner" this past spring. They are firmly rested from their summer break and ready to scare all comers with this psychological thriller presented just in time for Halloween season! The production is directed by Minstrel co-founder, Tara Palen and features a cast of Minstrel veterans as well as newcomers: Roseann Baldanza, Jennifer Chirles, Jim Connors, Thomas Donnarumma, Evan Donnellan, Michael J. Freed, Carl Nehring and Ray Palen. The story is based on the infamous Leopold and Loeb thrill-kill murders and first graced the British stage in 1929. In 1948, world renowned thriller director Alfred Hitchcock released a film adaptation that starred Jimmy Stewart and Farley Granger, among others. No one does thrillers better than the Minstrel Players and "ROPE" is a fine addition to the long line of fall thrillers they have staged over the past 9 seasons.
