The Tragedies Theater Company to Perform The Butler Did It: A Murder Mystery for a Live DVD Recording
PORTLAND, OR - The Tragedies Theater Company will present their original comedy The Butler Did It: A Murder Mystery at the Interstate Firehouse Cultural Center on Saturday, May 6, 7:30 and 9:30pm, $5 and Sunday matinee, May 7th, 2:30pm for $3. The show will be recorded live at all three performances for cable television and a DVD.
The Butler Did It was originally performed in January as part of the Epilepsy Foundations annual Out of the Shadows Gala. The comedy features such characters Edgar Allen Poe and Agatha Christie, both of whom suffered from epilepsy.
Kelli Linss, house-scribe for The Tragedies, tells us,“When you take a murder mystery and remove all pretense of mystery or suspense, what you’re left with is pure distilled comedy moonshine – strong, sharp and lethally funny. In a send-up of the traditional British parlour mysteries, The Butler Did It dispenses with the ‘whodunit?’ and leaves only the question of ‘how will he do it next?’ The combination of wry, intelligent dialogue and farcical nonsense make The Butler Did It a hilarious night at the theatre.”
Director and company founder, Brian Linss says, “This show is certainly a departure from our normal sketch comedy roots, but the audience will still be treated to plenty of clever laughs and sly innuendos. Be part of a studio audience as The Tragedies film the show for their debut DVD release. There will be a wine reception beginning at 6:30 included in the price of admission.”
Jordana Barnes of The 3rd Floor says,"The Tragedies have chemistry, fresh ideas and set the stage to make sure you have great night at the theatre. The performers are comedically strong!"
The Butler Did It opens Saturday, May 6th at 7:30 and 9:30pm and admission is $5. There will also be a matinee on May 7th at 2pm for $3. For reservations and tickets for The Butler Did It, call Brian at (503) 367-2100 or email webmaster@thetragedies.com. The Interstate Firehouse Cultural Center is at 5340 North Interstate Avenue.
