Out of Sight Out of Murder In Boston

By Charlotte Robinson, September 08, 2024

Boston’s The Footlight Club, America’s oldest community theater kicked off its theatrical season with a must-see adaptation of Fred Carmichael’s “Out of Sight...Out of Murder” directed by Kayte Duren. Performances run now through September 21st at historic Eliot Hall in JP at 7A Eliot Street Boston, MA where shows have been presented every year since 1877. “Out of Sight...Out of Murder” stars Johnny Esposito as Peter Knight who is grinding out a murder novel in an old mansion where another author was murdered years before. A weird electrical storm effects a cosmic snafu & his characters come to life. There's the lovely ingenue, the trusty butler, a feisty character woman, a dauntless hero, a fascinating "other woman” the always pregnant serving girl & the wily lawyer waiting for midnight to read the will. As Peter loses control of his characters murder follows & other murders come since the culprit is amongst the characters. This stellar cast also includes Emma Walker, Adam Johnson, Sophie Pels, Jenna Schlags, Cassidy Guimares, David Brown, Juliette McClendon & Jamie Alley. Tickets are a steal for this fabulous night of theatre with adults $25, seniors, students & children under 18 $22 & members free. The Footlight Club continues to sustain its mission to present the best in non-professional theater to a broad-based audience & to preserve & maintain Eliot Hall originally built in 1832 the hall was slated for demolition by the time the club’s members purchased it in 1889 as a community resource. Upcoming plays for its 2024-25 season include, “Bright Star”, “Yellow Face” & the musical “Prom”.
