"It Was a Dark and Stormy Night" Play Casting Actors
Seeking cast for play "It Was a Dark and Stormy Night". Please see the breakdown below. About the project: SYNOPSIS: There's dirty work afoot at Ye Olde Wayside Inn, home of the eccentric Saltmarshes: Hepzibah, Arabella, Cousin Ebenezer, and old Uncle Silas (the oldest living lunatic in Massachusetts). The inn is also haunted by the ghost of an old soldier who deserted Washington at Valley Forge. Foul weather turns Cousin Ebenezer grim and dangerous, and he lures victims to the inn to get revenge for a past wrong. So, when a storm forces several strangers to take shelter at the Inn, the chilling - or is it killing? - time begins! Among those forced to spend a grim night at the inn are a hard-nosed detective, some young nurses who think that Uncle Silas is their patient (he isn't!), a couple of college students, a state trooper, and a key witness to a crime. But not everyone is what they appear to be... And who is the skeleton in the wheelchair and why is it wearing a bridal veil? Who will survive this dark and stormy night? This play is sure to delight all those who love their mystery with a twist and a giggle. When the play premiered in 1988, one reviewer called it "a murderously daffy romp that plays like The Addams Family meets Arsenic and Old Lace." Additional info: Sides will be provided at auditions. Show dates: March 1, 2, 3, 9 & 10, 2024. If you are interested, please apply.
