uxbridge residents need not trek down to the big city exciting drama is happening right in our own backyard the uxbridge players are kick ing off their seventh season at the uxbridge music hall with par for the corpse a ribtickling homicidal comedy written by jack sharkey set in the catskill mountains at the rustic- retreat of an absent- minded novelist alexandra ellis the whodunnit is very much in the vein of the popular television series murder she wrote when alexs guests begin arriving for a party that somehow slipped her mind the cast of 10 characters is introduc ed through a hilarious barrage of oneliners as the plot thickens members of the audience and cast alike will be drawn into the dastardly drama and will undoubtedly be speculating about the murderers identity par for the corpse is the third uxbridge players production directed by barbara brooks last year she successfully brought to the stage the female version of odd couple and dont tell mother in fact ms brooks has a lengthy history with the ux bridge players and has ex perience in every aspect of the theatre both on and off stage with such a large cast and the nature of the play being a homocidal comedy ms brooks says she has found her task very challenging but her pride and confidence come through loud and clear this is a very technical play she said in a telephone interview there is a lot required from the sound and set people the props are absolutely phonomenal the cast which is made up of mostly local residents has been rehearsing three times a week to prepare for the upcoming four performances thats quite a commitment since most cast members also work fulltime ms brooks herself is the presi dent of sunderland creamery a very fulltime job she said the uxbridge players have a slogan come play with us and basically that says it all we have a lot of fun said ms brooks who explained that involvement includes social events and theatre outings throughout the year and we love new members she added there are plenty of jobs to be done even for the stageshy barb brooks says she has three personal goals for the uxbridge players to put on a very good performance for a paying au dience to obtain new members and last but not least to have fun lfeel very confident that we accomplish those goals she said performances are scheduled for fridays nov 17 and 24 with coffee and dessert served 10 and
