Pleasant Grove Players will be holding auditions for their upcoming production of the murder mystery within a murder mystery, “The Butler Did It” by Walter and Peter Marks, on Tuesday and Wednesday, August 18 and 19 from 7:00pm – 9:00pm in the Keith Christeson Theater on the first floor of the PG Library (30 E. Center). Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. No appointment is needed. Howard and Kathryn Little will be directing this production.
“The Butler Did It” has been described as the Off-Broadway equivalent of Deathtrap. This deft and diabolically clever thriller mingles laughter and chills as it skillfully unwinds its twisted tale of murder and mayhem in the glittering world of the theatre. Anthony J. Lefcourt, writer and director, is rehearsing his new play, a “classic whodunit” (in which all the characters are named Butler) with which he hopes to regain the success that has eluded him in recent seasons. Desperately eager to stimulate his cast to their best efforts, he has deliberately withheld the final scene of the play from them, but his patience is worn thin by petty jealousies and romantic rivalries. Before long, both the actors and audience alike are unsure what is real and what is make-believe.
Needed are four adult men and two adult women.
Performance dates are Oct 9 – 26 on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Monday evenings. There will also be a Saturday matinee on Oct 24.
Please call Kathryn Little at 801-836-8104 for more information.
