The Suspect "Players"
Producing the interactive murder mysteries performed by The Suspect Players has been a dream of Al & Peg Woltz for many years. Bringing audience involvement to a comedy show has been our goal. Our audiences everywhere in the mid-Atlantic area gain an appreciation for the art of improvisational acting, and at the same time are entertained without being "scalped."
REGULAR TROUPE MEMBERS
Al Woltz -
Owner/Director, Actor, and Casting Director, has been involved with the Suspect Players since 2000.
Performing on stage and in dinner theaters has long been his love, second only
to his beautiful wife, Peg. He has been performing since the age of 16 in musical theater, comedic theater, and Shakespearean
productions on countless stages in Maryland, Virginia, Washington, DC and
Delaware, including the Covered Bridge Theater, Cockpit-in-Court, Phoenix
Festival Theater, Spotlighters Theater, and Fells Point Corner Theater.
Peg Woltz - Owner/Writer,
Stage Manager and impromptu actor as required has been a part of the troupe
since 2004. Peg avoids being in the limelight
since the stage gives her "butterflies".
She prefers the role of coordinator and loves the creative side of our
endeavor with her long-time love and husband, Al. Peg now develops our new scenarios and ensures that our previously written
storylines are updated and relevant. She has been an owner since 2009, but
was previously involved in the organization and production processes of our
shows.

Joshua Lovejoy
- Josh waited until his senior year in high school to discover the excitement
and adventure of theatre but then became enamored with performing on stage.
While in college, he worked in community theater, starring as Jack Worthing
in “The Importance of Being Earnest”. After taking several drama classes in
college, Josh took a short hiatus but soon returned to his passion and minored
in theater. During this time, he assumed the roles of Scoop in “The Heidi
Chronicles" and Barry Champlain in “Talk Radio”. Theater continues to be a
constant in Josh’s life as he works with youth on their improvisational and
scene development skills through Theatreworks, a non-profit childrens’ theater
program. Josh now performs regularly with The Suspect Players as he assumes the
various unusual roles which he develops with his improvisational theater
skills.
