“Murder Can Be Habit Forming” For ACT Cast




When Archbold Community Theatre raises the curtain on its production of “Murder can be Habit Forming,” several Archbold and Pettisville actors will take the stage.

The show combines a murder mystery with a lighthearted comedy involving passengers on a bus becoming stranded in a blizzard, and taking shelter at a convent.

One of the passengers is a serial killer, who only kills women named Mary– and there are four Marys in the convent, and two more on the bus.

Pettisville’s Nona Liechty plays one of the four nuns, while John Taquino, Bill Phelps, Jeff Patterson, Susan Dominique, Teresa Van Sickle, all of Archbold, and Shawn Liechty, Pettisville, are “suspects.”

Taquino is a college professor, Phelps is the bus driver, and Patterson is the convent handyman.

Other suspects include bus passengers Dominique and Van Sickle. Liechty is cast as “the mysterious visitor.”

Steve Van Sickle, Archbold, directs, with assistance from Ryan Mooney, Continental.

Van Sickle said, “Fishout of-water scenarios often result in very funny situations; in this case, a serial killer lose in a convent! It sounds bizarre, but this wonderfully written script has it all– comedy, drama, romance, and mystery, all rolled into one with a cast of extremely unique characters.

ACT presents “Murder can be Habit Forming” Friday and Saturday, March 23-24, 30-31 at 8 pm, and Sunday, April 1, 2:30 pm, at Giffey Hall in Ridgeville Corners.
