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.
