Actors Needed for "The Mousetrap" Play Audition
Seeking performers for "The Mousetrap" show. Please see the details below. About the project: A classical Agatha Christie mystery, The Mousetrap is an exciting and tense character piece. It focuses on the past and things not said, as much as it does the crime being investigated. After a local woman is murdered, the guests and staff at Monkswell Manor find themselves stranded during a snowstorm. It soon becomes clear that the killer is among them, and the seven strangers grow increasingly suspicious of one another. A police detective, arriving on skis, interrogates the suspects: the newlyweds running the house; a spinster with a curious background; an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef; a retired Army major; a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a drift; and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. When a second murder takes place, tensions and fears escalate culminating in a shocking ending that has made this the longest continually running play in history. Additional info: Rehearsals Will begin Monday, August 19 and will be from 6:30 – 8:30. Rehearsal days will be Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. They will take place at the First Presbyterian Church in Columbiana. There will be readings from the script. Directors will provide everything. You just have to show up! If interested, please apply.
