AUDITIONS: HOLMES FOR THE HOLIDAYS SEPTEMBER 22nd & SEPTEMBER 23rd
Tacoma, WA- Tacoma Little Theatre is holding auditions for its production
of the holiday comedy, Holmes for the Holiday or The Game’s Afoot,
written by comedy genius Ken Ludwig (*Lend Me A Tenor). *The production
will be directed by Jennifer York.
Auditions will be held Sunday, September 22nd and Monday, September 23rd at
Tacoma Little Theatre. Audition appointments will be set starting at 6:00pm
on Sunday and 7:00pm on Monday in five-minute increments. Callbacks will be
held on Wednesday, September 25th.
It is December 1936, and Broadway star William Gillette, admired the world
over for his leading role in the play Sherlock Holmes, has invited his
fellow cast members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But
when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this
isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous. It is then up
to Gillette himself, as he assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes, to
track down the killer before the next victim appears. The danger and
hilarity are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas
holidays.
Auditioners are asked to prepare a short, 1-2 minute, contemporary
monologue.
Actors of all ethnicities and gender identities are encouraged to audition
