Hunt Mysteries has set auditions for its new comedy murder mystery production "Hammer Spade: The Steel Murder," on Thursday, Sept. 16, 7-9 p.m. at Spaghetti Mama�s, 75 East 9400 South in the Jordan Commons complex in Sandy.
The show will perform November and December in the Salt Lake Valley, mostly at Spaghetti Mama�s. It is a film Noir-themed show a little like the Humphrey Bogart �Maltese Falcon� movie.
All parts are paid. Those auditioning need to prepare 16 measures of an upbeat song and a comedic monologue.
Characters in "Hammer Spade":
Hammer Spade: Shamus, private eye. Hammer is 25-50 years old, dresses in nice clothes and yet manages to look slovenly all the time. He is a blend of Humphrey Bogart in The Maltese Falcon and Elliott Gould in The Long Goodbye. Hammer has a dark shadow over his past that haunts him to this day.
Artemis Hunter: The personal assistant/mistress of Stanislaus Steel. She�s youngish � 20s or early 30s. She�s a smart woman in a tough situation. Cold enough to plot a murder but warm enough to try and protect the friends around her
Stanislaus Steel: (Played by Harry, a lavish actor) Steel was a mountain of a man -- intimidating both physically and in personality. He started as an explosives expert and charmed his way into marriage with a wealthy heiress, Parker Steel. Stanislaus Steel is dead as the of the play opens, so a small, young, fey out of work actor named Harry will be his stand-in. Harry likes performing in musicals and doesn�t really �get� what it�s like being a big, burly, construction company owner.
Parker Poise-Steel: The formerly wealthy heiress is � was -- married to Steel. Parker was once a vivacious, extroverted, lively woman. Steel has cowed her into a timid mouse � at least around him.
Standish Poise: Younger brother of Parker. A playboy but also just a lost little boy. He�s insecure, but tries to be bigger and braver than he actually is. Not terribly bright, either.
Beryl Golddigger: A corrupt U.S. Senator. She is a tough woman in her 30s to 50s. She lines her pockets by fixing government construction contracts in exchange for kickbacks.
