Seeking Teens for "How to Host a Murder Mystery Dinner Party"
"How to Host a MURDER MYSTERY Dinner Party (In 15 Simple Steps)" is looking for teens ages 17 and up. Please see the details below. About the project: What could be more fun than a dinner theatre murder mystery at a how-to seminar about hosting a murder mystery dinner party, complete with audience interaction, information packets with extra clues, and multiple endings?! Host Miss Penelope Chrysler-Michelin presents her proven, fifteen-step process on how to host a murder mystery dinner party to your audience, the dinner guests at her seminar. To guide them through the presentation, Miss Penelope has planned her own murder mystery dinner party to play out onstage. She takes guests through all the most important steps, such as “Setting the Scene,” “Choosing Your Mark,” “Establishing Motive,” and more. Of course, her guest list has been carefully selected to make sure the very best mix of suspicious characters are present — The Celebrity, The Writer, The Doctor, The Ladykiller. But like any good murder mystery, the weather worsens and the plot thickens when there is an unexpected visitor on the dark and stormy night. Good thing Miss Penelope has thought of everything, including Step Eight: “Always Have a Backup Plan.” Additional info: Auditions will consist of cold reads for character development.
