"Murdered to Death" Teen Audition for The Theater
Teen auditions for "Murdered to Death" at the theater. Please review the details below. About the project: This hilarious spoof of the best of Agatha Christie traditions is set in a country manor house in the 1930s, with an assembled cast of characters guaranteed to delight. Bunting, the butler; an English Colonel, with the prerequisite stiff upper lip; a shady French art dealer and his moll; the bumbling local inspector and a well-meaning local sleuth who seems to attract murder wherever she goes. They’re all here – and all caught up in the side-splitting antics that follow the mysterious death of the house’s owner. It soon becomes clear that the murderer isn’t finished yet, but will the murderer be unmasked before everyone else has met their doom, or will audiences die laughing first?
