StageWest Community Theatre is proud to announce that the first production of the 2019-2020 season is the grand premier on the West Coast of John Kaasik’s play “Stranger in the Attic.”
The play is set in the country home of freelance writer Brian Hollander and his wife Dana. Their quiet life is unexpectedly upset by the arrival of a stranger named Kendrick, who is offering an exclusive story to Brian about a murder that has not happened yet.
Brian pursues discussions of the story with Kendrick, and meets his neighbors Douglas and Margaret Brendan who tell Brian and Dana a disturbing story about a stranger who may be stalking them. Detective Hal Nelson comes into the play to try and unravel these interlocking stories and prevent a murder from happening.
Author John Kaasik is a prolific and award-winning writer of mystery dramas, including “Assassin’s New Friend,” “Murder by Mistake” and “Piano Lessons for Dad,” awarded an honorable mention by the New Works of Merit play competition. He also writes comedies such as “The Servant’s Last Serve” where a wealthy Londoner wills his estate to his cat.
