\n\t <\/span>It seems Papa Guido Guini has met with foul play – murdered in the kitchen – of the family's favorite Italian restaurant in Garden Grove.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tNow, during dinner at “Papa GG’s Ristorante Italiano,” the authorities are hot on the trail of the perpetrator.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tThe cast includes a list of questionable characters within the family who each have their reasons to have committed the crime.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tThere's the widow, Mama Lena Guini (Carol Van Holt); oldest daughter Freida Guini (Marianne Allen), who set out to be a nun but made her way to becoming a lucrative topless dancer; middle daughter Gina Guini (Eileen Jensen); youngest daughter Penny Guini (Marianne Hahn); long-time and close friend Donna Bella (Cathy Waters), who has a crystal ball and forecasts future events; and Father Al Fredo (Dewey Linehan), priest and cousin of Papa Guido who has been involved with the family since the marriage of Guido and Lena. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tHe presided over all of the baptisms, Gina’s wedding and the funeral.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tOther characters include a fixture at the restaurant, waitress Rosa Fagoli (Debbie Karlson) who is a loyal employee; and the elderly Aunt Minnie Strony (Lynn Seaholm), a constant complainer, living with the family for the past 20 years. The family is tired of  <\/span>her and  <\/span>Guido wanted her out.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tMary Narra (Charlotte McNamaara) is the charming restaurant greeter\/hostess. Many wonder about her smile; is there more to the smile, something behind those sweet, pursed lips? <\/font><\/p>\n

\n\t“Killer in the Kitchen” was a fundraiser presented by the all-woman Harbor Mesa Lions Club, hosted by the Garden Grove Lions at the club’s building in Garden Grove on Aug. 17.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tThe original play was written, produced and directed by Harbor Mesa member Carol Van Holt and narrated by Gina Stansbury.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tPolice Detective Gellato is immediate past District Governor PJ Smith; the hostess’ husband is Seal Beach Zone A Chair Mario Narra; Hank Lopez is Guido's lawyer; Riccotto is a longtime friend and confidante, played by 2nd Vice District Governor Gil Smith; District 4-L4 Governor Sheila Casteel played Candy, who earns the most money for the escort service.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tThe secret is out; the killer is known, but to learn the outcome, one must see the show.<\/font><\/p>\n
