The Glen Arbor Players are very excited to announce the staging of our new play, Anatomy of a Murder, directed by Ron Smith. The play is based on a true story that took place in the Michigan Upper Peninsula in the 1950’s and was written by the defense attorney who actually worked the case and later became a Michigan Supreme Court Justice.
Mr. Smith was quoted as saying “the cast is one of the largest in our twelve year history as well as our most experienced with almost 300 years of collective stage experience. The play will be performed at the Glen Lake Church, 4902 West Macfarlane, Glen arbor. Play dates are October 27, 28 and 29 th at 7:30pm. Admission is free. Goodwill donations are accepted and refreshments will be served.
The story is based on the defense of an army lieutenant who was accused of killing a bartender in cold blood who had allegedly raped his wife. The story was made into a movie in 1959 that starred James Stewart, Lee Remick, Ben Gazzara, Eve Arden and George C. Scott.
The movie was awarded six (6) Academy Awards and has been lauded as “probably the finest pure trial movie ever made.” The US Library of Congress has preserved the film as being “culturally, historically and aesthetically significant.”

This is a chance to savor different types of the brew, find out what you like and don’t like, learn about the different flavor profiles, and get a greater appreciation of all the work that goes into a good cup of joe. Our presenter for the afternoon will be Chris Rife, who was a nominee for the Chicago Barista of the Year Award in 2019, and now works for the Chicago Beveridge Company as the head of education and is the corporate trainer. His knowledge of coffee and the coffee world will both entertain and educate. Please join us by responding to TheGlenLakeManor@gmail.com. Seating is limited so please RSVP by Wednesday October 18th.
We look forward to seeing you!
Sue and Rob Rife
Owners, The Glen Lake Manor
