Dead Emma Octagon House Museum In this comedy mystery play, two detectives
are called out to investigate the mysterious disappearance of Emma Thomas.
Along the way they encounter a host of eccentric and highly suspicious
characters. The Watertown Players, in conjunction with the Watertown
Historical Society, will present the black comedy, "Dead Emma,” at the
Octagon House Museum on Oct. 29 and 30 from The show, an original production by local historian Bill
Jannke and founder of the theater group, tells the story of the investigation
into the mysterious disappearance of Emma Thomas, grand-daughter (by
marriage) of John Richards, original owner of the Octagon House. Two detectives, Tuesday Weld and his partner Billy Sunday,
are called into the case by the distraught Mrs. Bott, mother of the missing
woman. They proceed to interview the missing woman's grandmother, Emily
Bradford; her aunt, Mary Alice Green; her cousin Ophelia; Sade Jones a
neighbor; and finally, they seek out and question Anna Thomas and her son
Billy, both of whom act very suspiciously. The story is punctuated with
one-liners and comedic situations and nothing is taken seriously. Because of
double casting, a new performance can begin every 15 minutes throughout the
evening. The cast for the production includes Tuesday Jim Ortega & Bryan Quinn Billy
Sunday Joseph Smith & Dale
