Kid Actors Needed for "Murder At The Malt Shop" Play
Students in grades 8-12 are invited to audition for "Murder At The Malt Shop" Play. Please see the details below. About the project: It’s the fabulous fifties-1950s, that is- and the little town of Shingleville is rife with suspicion and speculation. Sprout’s Malt Shop is filled with quirky characters, and one of them is guilty of murder! After all, they all have a motive when the reprehensible and unreasonable Jerry Atrick falls over dead after an unexpected blackout. It’s up to Sheriff Colin Allcars to find out who is responsible for the foul play. Was it the trouble-making greaser, Noah Count? Or the bubbly and annoying know-it-all cheerleader, Bobbie Pinz? Surely not her sidekick, Shirley Knott! Could it have been the waitress, Dee Lighted, who takes your order but brings you whatever she feels like? How about the sultry starlet or the dim-witted jock? Order up! This zany mystery delivers exactly what you’re craving: a juicy whodunit served with loads of puns and topped with a heap of nostalgic 1950s references! Additional info: Show Dates: March 7 & 8, 2025. If interested, please apply.
