No experience or preparation needed! Auditions will likely consist of cold reads and some improv but exact process is at discretion of the director. We will be holding auditions April 5th 6:30PM - 8:00PM & April 6th 10:00AM - 12:00PM. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Village life in King’s Abbot might keep the local gossips busy, but it certainly wouldn’t be described as exciting by Doctor Sheppard. There is a new neighbor in town with a Belgian accent and a propensity for growing vegetables. Doctor Sheppard is pretty sure he is a hair dresser. But when Mrs Ferrars dies, things begin to escalate quickly in one of the greatest mysteries Agatha Christie ever wrote. Don’t miss this cast of suspects and the exciting murder mystery during our fall production of “The Murder of Roger Ackroyd"! Get your tickets today!
