MURDERERS 3:JOHN BERGER / JBERGER@STARBULLETIN.COMVeteran actors Walter S. Eccles II, left, Jo Pruden and Peter Kamealoha Clark were the guests of honor at Wednesday's opening night reception for Manoa Valley Theatre's production of "Over My Dead Body." The threesome provide a solid, perfectly cast foundation for this gentle contemporary comedy about a group of aging English writers out to prove that it is possible to kill someone and leave the body in a room locked from the inside. "Over My Dead Body" continues through May 27. Call 988-631 or go online at www.manoavalleytheatre.com. CLICK FOR LARGE |

BLUE ON BLUE:JOHN BERGER / JBERGER@STARBULLETIN.COMTalented actor/dancer/director Katherine L. Jones, an asset to MVT's recent productions of "Footloose" and "Cabaret," enjoyed being in the opening-night audience with her husband, Peter Togawa. Although Jones said that they had not color-coordinated their clothing for the event, the shades of blue in her cap and sweater were a perfect match for the stripes of Togawa's shirt. CLICK FOR LARGE

DON'T BLAME THE BUTLER!JOHN BERGER / JBERGER@STARBULLETIN.COMMVT cast members Elitei Tatafu Jr., left, and Gerard Altweis were congratulated by Lisa Konove and Bradley Moon. Altweis gives a nuanced performance as Charters, a butler who attends to members of the Murder League and their London club. He earned well-deserved laughter without saying a word the first time he appeared, and later had several great comic moments. Tatafu draws on broader comic skills in playing a loud, insensitive American. CLICK FOR LARGE |

A DATE TO REMEMBER:JOHN BERGER / JBERGER@STARBULLETIN.COMHolly Holowach greeted her husband, Tom, left, and Stephen Mead near the stage door. Tom plays a pivotal role in the show as a successful contemporary mystery writer whose harsh sex-and-violence style is the opposite of the three protagonists. Holly said they would be celebrating their 28th wedding anniversary on Mother's Day and that their wedding took place on a Mother's Day as well. CLICK FOR LARGE |
