“This show has been so much fun to direct, and I have loved working with this cast. Who doesn’t love a good “Whodunnit?”
Director Abby Hurley
The Alfred State Drama Club is excited to present “The Alibis” as their spring production. Three performances will be held at the Lake Lodge from April 11 – 13.
“The Alibis” is a collection of ten-minute plays, written by eight playwrights, wrapped in a classic whodunnit. When eccentric billionaire J. Leslie Arlington is murdered, a clueless detective finds the suspects are all reluctant to admit their alibis because they were all committing other ridiculous crimes at the time. You never know what's coming next when your suspects include disgruntled chefs, teen detectives, and vengeful divas, but one thing's for certain: Every alibi is absolutely absurd.
The cast features 18 students, including seniors James Abbott, Dylyn Bailey, Nicholas Cain, Willow Ferguson, Benjamin Harris, Ruth Hessinger, Sarah Keehan, Ryan Mitchell, and Marlena Volpe.
“This show has been so much fun to direct, and I have loved working with this cast,” commented Director Abby Hurley. “Who doesn’t love a good “Whodunnit?”
