“The Last Noel” by D. Richard Tucker, is a film noir spoof about Christmas-time in Seattle. It is a murder mystery and comedy that is directed by local theater veteran Robin Aronson. The production opens Friday, November 20, and runs four weekends through Sunday, December 13, at Ben Lomond’s historic Park Hall, 9400 Mill Street.
A clue about “The Last Noel” comes from Susan McKay, Publicity Coordinator, for Mountain Community Theater, when she hints that “murder and mayhem rock the Seattle Christmas caroling community when Sam Chase, a software engineer, is framed for murder after his ex-wife is found bludgeoned to death with a giant candy cane. Sam becomes a private investigator and, along with his sidekick, Part Time, encounters a corrupt underworld of femme fatales, killer snowmen, homicidal reindeer, rogue department store elves, and other nefarious holiday icons.”
Friday and Saturday performances are at 8:00 p.m., Sunday matinees are at 2:00 p.m. Community Afternoon is Sunday, November 29, when all tickets are two for $20. Note that there is no matinee on Sunday, November 22. General tickets are $20; Senior and Student tickets are $17. Tickets are available at www.mctshows.org or www.brownpapertickets.com
