About the Show: A one act play that follows two theater critics named Moon and Birdboot who are watching a ludicrous setup of a murder mystery at Muldoon Manor, in the style of a whodunit. A play-within-a-play farce that wraps up the critics with a clever twist.
Expressions Community Theater is committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion. Bring your best comedic talents to this audition and a British accent if you can!
We are looking for a cast of eight characters:
MOON – (25+) – An experienced but obsessed, 2nd string critic who longs to rise up the ranks as a theater critic.
MRS. DRUDGE (30+) – The observant maid who works at Muldoon Manor.
SIMON (20+) -A womanizing, shifty man who mysteriously shows up at Muldoon Manor.
FELICITY (20+) -A lovely and charming young friend of CYNTHIA who has had an affair with SIMON and BIRDBOOT, but soon seeks ruthless revenge!
CYNTHIA (30+) – Apparent widow of Lord Albert Muldoon who disappeared years ago. She has a fiery temper beneath her aristocratic exterior.
MAGNUS (40’s) – A 3 in 1 character that appears as a wheelchair-bound guest of Muldoon Manor.
INSPECTOR HOUND/A CRITIC (40’s) – A mysterious Inspector brought out to solve the mystery of Muldoon Manor.
BIRDBOOT (30+) – A 1st string theater critic whose smug ego gets the better of him.
*DEAD BODY*– No lines but must be comfortable laying on the floor the entirety of the play.
