Performers Needed for "Murder on the Menu" Show
The company is holding auditions for "Murder on the Menu" Show and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: Artemus Ward, head of the lucrative family publishing business has found himself with his face in his mashed potatoes, with a knife in his back. Luckily Dr. Bullfinger, an over-eager, newly elected county coroner, was dining at the restaurant and is eager to lead an investigation... and give herself a career boost in the process! It’s hard to say who did it considering everyone has a motive. Reginald, heir to the business? Major, who wrote the company’s bestseller but hasn’t received his royalties? Alexis, four time widow of husbands who died at the dinner table? The destitute nephew, Bernie, from the mailroom? Or Eileen Morrow, a backstabbing attorney? Between scenes, there’s plenty of time for the audience to interact with cast members and discover additional clues so they can fill out their ”Whodunit?” sheet. The humor, twists, and surprises don’t end in this cleverly crafted mystery. Additional info: Show dates: Sept. 14 and 15. Please apply if interested.
