Frederick Knott’s drama to be performed at JCC

JAMESTOWN – The Jamestown Community College Uncommoners will perform Frederick Knott’s “Wait Until Dark” in March.

The drama, directed by Robert Schlick with technical direction by Steven Gustafson and lighting design by Scott Barton, will be presented in JCC’s Scharmann Theatre at 8 p.m. on March 7, 8, 14, and 15 and at 2 p.m. on March 9.

Tickets are available at JCC’s box office, 338-1187, or online at campusstore.sunyjcc.edu. Senior citizens and JCC Faculty Student Association cardholders receive a $2 discount when tickets are purchased in person.

The cast includes Crin Fredrickson of Sinclairville, Richie Hayes, Tyler Stimson, Dwain Graham and Austin Scapp of Randolph, Don Hill and John Canning of Jamestown and Eva Jaquith of Cassadaga.

“Wait Until Dark” follows a sinister con man and two ex-convicts who have traced the location of a mysterious doll to the Greenwich Village apartment of Sam Hendrix and his blind wife, Susy. Sam had apparently been persuaded by a strange woman to transport the doll across the Canadian border, not knowing that sewn inside were several grams of heroin. When the woman is murdered, the situation becomes more urgent.

The con man and ex-convicts convince Susy that the police have implicated Sam in the woman’s murder, and the doll, which she believes is the key to his innocence, is evidence. She refuses to reveal its location, and with the help of a young neighbor, figures out she is the victim of a bizarre charade.
