Peter Zacharis’ new production runs May 22 through June 6 in Reading with alternating casts, mystery, comedy, and baseball nostalgia
Reading, MA — Quannapowitt Players will present Peter Zacharis’ new comedy-mystery “The Chesapeake Chicks” from May 22 through June 6.
The play follows the former players of the all-female baseball team, The Chesapeake Chicks, as they return from the funeral of a former teammate, Ann. Their reunion takes a shocking turn when they are given Ann’s journal, containing the chilling message: “If I die tomorrow, know that someone here killed me.”
As suspicion spreads among the former teammates, secrets unravel, and tensions rise while the group races to uncover the truth before the killer strikes again. The production has been described as “The Golden Girls meets Murder She Wrote with a splash of A League of Their Own.”
Directed by Angela Courtney Rossi, “The Chesapeake Chicks” features two alternating casts.
The Starting Lineup Cast includes Kate Beattie, Theresa Chiasson, Liz Robbins, Teri Muller, Matthew Lundergan, and Chris Rose.
The On Deck Cast includes Nora Falk, Mary Ellen Macri, Margaret Healey, Phyllis Uloth, Steve Bermundo, and Tommy Mastrangelo.
Performances begin May 22 and continue through June 6. Friday and Saturday evening performances begin at 8:00 p.m. Sunday matinees begin at 2:00 p.m. An additional Saturday matinee performance will be held on June 6 at 2:00 p.m.
