Audition Application

If you love mysteries, this could be the show you've been waiting for. William Gilette, a world-renowned Sherlock Holmes actor, suddenly finds himself channeling his experience when there’s a murder at a party he’s throwing. The mystery and hilarity ensues as Gillete (Holmes) tries to solve the murder before another one of his guests meets their untimely demise.  Written for 5 female roles and 3 male roles, this award-winning play promises to be worth your time, effort, and skill. How could any actor resist the allure of playing Sherlock?

Auditions will likely consist of cold reads and some improv, but the exact process is at the discretion of the director.

We are so looking forward to seeing you at one (or all) of our audition nights!
