Description:

Auditions for November show "But Why Bump Off Barnaby?" Actors wanted. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See more info below. About the project: This lunatic show poses a fascinating mystery. When Barnaby Folcey is murdered at a family gathering at Marlgate Manor, it transpires that he had a motive to murder everybody else, but no one had a reason to want him dead. While dying, he scrawled the letters "b-a-r," which can implicate everyone. While the bizarre group frantically tries to unmask the murderer, people vanish, poison is found in the sherry, and the police take forever to arrive. Meanwhile, there's a secret treasure to be found, a mystifying limerick to decode, and all sorts of doom to be avoided before the killer is finally unmasked and destroyed using one of the funniest methods ever seen on a stage. Rate: Unpaid. Additional info: Director is seeking 10 actors to be part of this zany farcical mystery. A British accent will be required for most roles. There will be some age flexibility. Non-Union.
