The Story: Curtains unfolds backstage at Boston’s Colonial Theatre, where a new musical might head to Broadway, were it not for the presence of its talent-free leading lady. When the star dies on opening night during her curtain call, Lt. Frank Cioffi (Sammuel C. Hawkins) arrives on the scene to conduct an investigation. But the lure of the theater proves irresistible, and, he soon finds himself just as drawn toward making the show a hit as he is in solving the murder. The cast of Curtains includes Sammuel C. Hawkins as Lieutenant Frank Cioffi, Katie McWethy as Niki Harris the ingenue and under- study, Louise Stinson as Georgia Hendricks, the show’s song writer and new leading lady, Corrie Graham as Carmen Bernstein the brassy Producer, Darren Hurley as Christopher Belling the Director, Philip Meyer as Daryl Grady the Boston Globe Re- viewer, Bobby Jackson as Aaron Fox the composer and Rick Warren as Sidney Bernstein the tough self-serving Producer. Others in the cast include Mi- chael Dederian, Charlie Wilson, Megan Carver, David Ian, Kate Carson and Benjamin Farmer, Daniel Goodman, Ellie Simnitt, Erin Shannon, Jerrod Neal, Matt Brown, Megan Misslin, and Vanessa Elsner.
