Description:

"Death By Dessert" play casting actors. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Please see the breakdown below. About the project: SYNOPSIS: It's dinnertime, and you're invited to a meal so good, it's to die for! In New York's little Italy, the Donnaducce family and the Duccedonni family have been feuding for a generation, while operating two competing Italian restaurants that share a common wall. At rise, the building's landlord is dead at center stage, and everyone is suspect – from the old-world Italian grandmother and mafia don grandfather to the passionate chefs and bumbling waitstaff. Flashing back in time, the story is told by its victim, who alternately narrates and participates in the action. As customers in the restaurant, the audience is served a delectable meal, but they don't just sit back and watch; each table must cast their vote for whodunit! Will the murderer be ferreted out? Will the feud ever be reconciled? What are the hidden truths about what happened all those years ago? Additional info: Auditions will consist of readings from the script (and maybe a little improv if directors have time!) All levels of experience. Rehearsals will be in accordance with the availability of the actors. (Please come wih all conflicts from 9/23 untl 11/14!) The Performance will be on 11/14 and the show and dessert will be served to patrons with a side of murder. If you are interested, please apply.
