Murder at the Arcada Casino

Too late-- you missed it (and so did I)! Carol auditioned for, was cast, and performed in Murder at the Arcada Casino today, at the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles. This was a unique production by Murders R Us, in that the audition, casting, rehearsal and performance were all on the same day! You can read about the show here (PDF). As I post this, Carol is probably still on stage.

The Story Line: There is trouble in St. Charles when a developer from Cicero makes a move to convert the wonderful Arcada Theatre into a Blue Collar casino. He also has his sights set on the Baker Hotel across the Fox River as an upscale one! On the other side are Tray Hugger, a rabid environmentalist and Biff Wellington the idealistic architect! Join the fun watching a cast of 13. Will you guess the murder, victim, weapon, motive, or opportunity? Clearly: A Murder Will Occur!

Carol was cast as Madame Baboushka-- a fraud, (but clever) Corporate Psychic with famous clients (Enron, Arthur Anderson, etc.), and a mysterious shifting accent.

3/17 Update: You can read about the show here. The company's official web site is www.murdersrus.com.
