Local theatre group wants you to audition for murder mystery

The Algoma Repertory Theatre will be holding auditions later this month for its fall production Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap.

The timeless murder mystery brings a group of seven strangers together as a blizzard hits the countryside.

When one of the guests is killed, an investigation is launched into the lives and histories of everyone there. 

Character Breakdown:

• Mollie Ralston - The pleasant, young owner of Monkswell Manor. She has “an ingenuous air,” which is to say she comes off as innocent and often unsuspecting.
• Giles Ralston - Husband of Mollie, whom he loves. He may appear arrogant, but he’s just overprotective of his new wife.
• Christopher Wren - A bit flighty and somewhat neurotic young man. Is both quirky and vulnerable. And a little mysterious.
• Mrs. Boyle - Retired, ancient, grumpy, unpleasant. If there’s a kind bone in her body, she hides it well.
• Major Metcalf - Typical retired British military officer. Underneath his gruffness . . . is more gruffness.
• Miss Casewell - Somewhat masculine in demeanor. She keeps her cards close to the vest and remains aloof . . . and a little mysterious.
• Mr. Paravicini - A man of unknown origin and age, he is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma . . . with an indeterminate accent. He’s a little mysterious.
• Detective Sergeant Trotter - Determined to get to the bottom of things, he is dogged in his pursuit of the truth.

Auditions will take place Wednesday, June 26 at 6:30 p.m. in the Century 21 Office Building on Brock Street. Find more information by clicking here.

The dinner theatre show runs from November 13-16 at the Quattro Hotel.

Tickets will be available soon.
