“Agatha Christie Made Me Do It” “Agatha Christie Made Me Do It was the fall play this year. This whimsical comedy by Eddie Cope centers on a New York detective, played by Brad Potter, who is trying to write a book on the same format as Agatha Christie. The story unfolds with a rich young man named Monte Brainard, played by Mitch Martineau, who is framed for illegally marrying a stripper, played by Kathy Neumann, and an ice cream dipper, played by Denise Graham. Never having actually committed these acts, he can’t remember them. For this supposed lapse of memory, his cousin Ruperta, played by Gayle Yamauchi, has deemed him incompetent and tries to take over his assets. The two women he supposedly married are trying to blackmail him, and his own lawyer, played by Phil Brawner, is in on the deal, trying to extricate money from him. The play closes as Monte Brainard finally discovers that his real girlfriend, played by Deanna Hall, is the master-mind behind the whole incident. 11 Top left: Waldo, played by Phil Lutz, is talking over problems with his master, Monte Brainard Above: Cast members, back row, from left to right: John Davis.
