Description:

Seeking talent for the "Deathtrap" play. Please see the details below.

Additional info: Roles include: • A washed-up playwright with deadly ambition • A young writer with a killer script (and terrible instincts) • A high-strung wife with some serious premonitions • A psychic neighbor who really shouldn’t know what she knows • A lawyer who probably needs one himself Expect cold reads, suspicious behavior, and the occasional fake scream. Bring your best gasp. Trust no one. If interested, please apply.
