Actors Auditions For Play "Murder on the Orient Express"
Auditions for production of "Murder on the Orient Express". Actors needed. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See the breakdown below. About the project: "It’s the 1930s. Winter. Istanbul to Western Europe. A bunch of people get on a fancy train. Somebody is a detective. Somebody owns the train. Somebody annoys her husband. Somebody is in love with a woman too young for them (but it’s okay because she loves him back and she is definitely the dom). There’s a couple suspiciously nervous people who are probably secretly circus stars. And a really fancy lady who has been a princess her whole life. Then the train gets stuck. Some jerk gets stabbed, a lot. The guy who owns the train begs the detective to solve it without involving the authorities because brand management matters and voila! We have a murder mystery." Rate: All volunteer (unpaid). Additional info: Auditions: Auditions will consist of readings from the script, probably multiple times or maybe just once, it really depends. Just come out and read things and directors will see what happens. If you are interested, please apply.
