“We’re here to be a resource,” Kay Kemp, CC ’22, BTE’s executive playwright and art director, said in an interview with Spectator. “We’re here to be teachers and to be a group of people you can talk to on campus and make friends. . We would love to have perfect productions everyone would but we are not solely focused on the product, we’re more focused on the process.”

Live theater returns Friday with the Mid-Ohio Valley Players presentation of “And Then There Were None” by mystery writer Agatha Christie.
The story is about 10 strangers invited to a remote island where a mysterious recording reveals their deadly secrets. As they are haunted by a sinister nursery rhyme, a murderer amongst them picks them off one by one.
“And Then There Were None” opens Friday with performances at 7 p.m., followed by Saturday, Jan. 28, 29 and 30 and a 3 p.m. matinee on Sunday at the Mid-Ohio Valley Players Theater, 229 Putnam St., in Marietta.
Auditions for the play were held a year ago. The production was delayed because of the COVID-19 restrictions imposed on live theaters and other venues to prevent the spread of the virus.
