"Holly Mother of Bingo" Needs Boys and Girls
Performers aged 8 and up are invited to audition for "Holly Mother of Bingo". Please see the details below. About the project: An innocent bingo fundraiser at the Our Mother of Mercy church goes awry when parishioners mysteriously drop dead! The evidence suggests well-calculated murders, but who is to blame? Tensions rise as everyone begins identifying suspects. Past feuds rear their heads as the members of the parish try to state their innocence one by one. Who could be behind the elaborate spree? The disgruntled choir director? The magician turned youth minister? The ex-convict that has recently turned to the power of prayer? It couldn’t be one of the Cookie Cadets selling their beloved cookies! Everyone’s a suspect... even the audience in the zany comedy that takes interactive theatre (and fundraising opportunities!) to a whole new level! This production includes 5 live games of bingo with prizes! It's a great show for those with improv skills as well! Additional info: Auditions are cold reads from the script! You only need to attend one night of auditions and once you are done at auditions, you are free to leave. The rehearsal schedule will be made based on your conflicts. Performances are February 14-16. If interested, please apply.
