Casting Call for "The Mystery Of Edwin Drood" Play
Auditions for "The Mystery Of Edwin Drood" show. Directors are in search of male & female talent. See more details below. About the project: Have you ever wanted to be part of a musical where the audience decides the ending? Here’s your chance! We’re thrilled to soon be announcing auditions for The Mystery of Edwin Drood - a wildly fun, “play within a play” musical based on Charles Dickens’ unfinished novel. This isn’t your typical musical - actors play actors in a Victorian theatre troupe putting on Dickens’ story. Audiences get to vote each night on who murdered Edwin Drood, who the lovers will be, and how the mystery ends! That means every performance is different, and every role is full of surprises. Additional info: Callbacks: 6 pm | Monday, Sept. 8. To be considered, please apply.
