Theater Casting Call for "A Killing Snow" Play
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Seeking performers to portray roles in production of "A Killing Snow". More details are below. About the play: Four strangers take shelter in Gerald Goldie’s secluded farmhouse during a Huron County blizzard. As they wait out the storm, frightening Latin phrases begin to appear on the walls and it becomes clear that there is murder on someone’s mind. The stranded guests have a choice – escape the house of terror and face death in the blizzard, or tempt the Fates by remaining. What would you do? This rural, suspense-packed whodunnit by Canadian playwright Paul Ciufo will have audiences guessing throughout, in a play that evokes as much mysticism as it does mystery.
