In Search of Performers for "Clue: On Stage" Play
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. The production of "Clue: On Stage" is looking for performers. Please, see the details below. About the project: Synopsis: The classic board game is brought to life in Clue: On Stage! Six guests are invited to a dinner party thrown by an anonymous host. They are given aliases–Colonel Mustard, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock, Professor Plum, and Miss Scarlet. Though discouraged from revealing personal information, it is soon discovered that all of them have fallen victim to the same blackmailer, their very host of the evening. Each is presented with a weapon and an option: pay their extortionist double, or kill an innocent butler. What follows is a madcap, slapstick evening full of murder, mystery, and laughs as they seek to puzzle out the culprit amongst criminals. Additional information: Callbacks on Tuesday, June 6- 7 p.m. Please note that there will be a table read in June, rehearsals will start on Tuesday, August 15 and will run three days per week on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoon. Cast will be expected to do line work over the summer. Please prepare a 1-minute Comedic monologue of your choice. A cold reading of selected scenes will also be required. Auditions will be done in groups of four to six. When applying, please advise your date of choice (Saturday, June 3 – 2 p.m.; Monday, June 5 – 7 p.m.) and an audition time will be assigned.
