David Armstrong John Langs Executive Producer and Artistic Director Artistic Director The 5th Avenue Theatre ACT – A Contemporary Theatre
As we were talking in late 2016, it became apparent that one of our joint New Year’s resolutions needed to be delivering a great big belly laugh to our audiences in 2017. Our goal was to shake off the blues grown out of our national political discourse with a joyous celebration of creativity, talent, and artistic virtuosity. We are happy to say that this year’s co-production fulfills that promise. Murder for Two pulls out every trick in the trunk in a vaudeville-style romp packed with cleverness and agility. Director Dan Knechtges calls Murder for Two “a rollicking adventure, combining elements of Agatha Christie, The Twilight Zone, the Marx Brothers and Victor Borge.” It also celebrates three uniquely talented local artists: Richard Gray, who gave a memorable performance last season as Charles Guiteau in our 5th Avenue/ACT production of Stephen Sondheim’s Assassins; Chris DiStefano, the Music Director of our Grey Gardens collaboration who will be making his Seattle acting debut in this production; and the show’s co-author and lyricist Kellen Blair who was born in Carnation, WA and grew up right here in Seattle. This is the seventh collaboration between The 5th Avenue Theatre and ACT Theatre, and we’re feeling stronger than ever about the work we’re able to produce together. The spirit of collaboration has deep roots in our respective institutions. We are proud of our artistic relationship, and our shared contribution to Seattle’s growing reputation as one of the world’s finest cultural destinations.

This show received rave reviews Off- Broadway and makes its Pacific Northwest premiere in this 5th Avenue Theatre/ACT — A Contemporary Theatre co-production. In an exclusive interview with Carnation, Washington-born lyricist and co-writer Kellen Blair we peek behind the curtain for more insight into the show’s creation and success.
What are your prior connections to The 5th and/or ACT? I grew up in Seattle and most of my family still lives here (all proud subscribers at 5th Avenue, thank you very much). And interestingly enough, my very first theater experience was at ACT. I was two years old and my parents took me to see A Christmas Carol. It was a terrible idea because the sight of Jacob Marley had me screaming my head off and made everybody hate us, I’m sure. But I’ve been back every year since (and the screaming has definitely mellowed since then). So you can imagine, having my show here, the first theater I set foot in, is extremely meaningful to me. It’s also meaningful to my mom, who has been waiting for this day since our first reading of the show seven years ago.
What was the inspiration for Murder for Two ? JOE KINOSIAN(LEFT), KELLEN BLAIR(RIGHT). PHOTO CREDIT: ELI SCHMIDT Joe Kinosian and I had started working on a great big full blown American musical, complete with a thousand person cast and a giant orchestra. (I’m exaggerating, but it was huge.) This was during the financial crisis and we noticed a lot of theaters replacing their big full blown shows with much more economical shows like The 39 Steps (which we had both seen several times and loved, by the way). And it occurred to us that we probably wouldn’t get very far as two newbies with a big expensive show on our hands. Once we decided to go “small,” we actually found it really rewarding to start brainstorming how to use those limitations not as a hindrance but as an integral part of the storytelling; hence, one AN INTERVIEW WITH KELLEN BLAIR actor playing multiple characters.
