Job For Actors In Play “A Family Reunion To Die For”

Averill Park, NY, United States
ID: 232476Exp: 6/13/2023
Description:

Auditions for “A Family Reunion To Die For” play. In need of actors. Please see the breakdown below. About the project: "It’s time for the Knotting Family Reunion, and newlywed Christine Franklin is eager to show off her husband Freddie to the family she hasn’t seen in years. The joyful reunion quickly turns sour though when Aunt Gretchen, Cousin Rachel, and Cousin Stefan are all murdered. The members of the Knotting Family are dropping like flies, and Christine seems to be next in line to become a victim! To make matters worse, a terrible storm has trapped all of the guests inside. It’s up to Freddie to catch the murderer and save his blushing bride. After all, he is a detective — well, a mall security guard turned wannabe detective, anyway. Who is trying to wipe out the Knotting family? Is it the pair of squirrel-hunting hillbilly sisters with their rifle? The former Vegas showgirl with a knack for knitting? The maid with a single digit IQ? The grouchy cook? The bitter journalist? The troupe of mimes? Gretchen, Rachel, and Stefan return from the dead, and with the audience’s help, teach Freddie what it takes to be a real detective." Additional info: Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Tech week begins August 13. (No conflicts) Production dates: August 18, 19, 25, 26 @8pm, August 20 & 27 @2:30pm, 2023.
