When a police sergeant arrives\, the guests discover – to their horror – that a killer is in their midst. One by one\, the suspicious characters reveal their sordid pasts. Which one is the murderer? Who will be their next victim? And can you solve this world-famous mystery for yourself?\n\n\nFor 70 years\, Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap has kept millions of people\, from every corner of the globe\, on the edge of their seats\, and it continues to be a sell-out hit of London theatre.”\n\n  \nCast of Characters: \nMollie Ralston (20s-30s) – A kind\, caring young woman who inherited Monkswell Manor from her Aunt. She is savvy\, takes pride in what she does\, and is brand new to hosting alongside her husband\, Giles. They have been married for one year\, and are very much in love. \n  \nGiles Ralston (20s-30s) – A former Navyman\, he is Mollie’s husband and first-time host of the Manor. He has a tendency of being pessimistic and isn’t always well-received by others\, but he means well and has a good heart. He has been married to Mollie for one year\, and they are very much in love. \n  \nChristopher Wren (20s-30s) – An eccentric\, unapologetic\, somewhat neurotic young man who often leaves people feeling unsettled\, irritated\, or wondering what to think of him. Despite this\, he gains Mollie’s trust quite quickly and they form a friendship. He is the first guest to arrive at the Manor. \n  \nMrs. Boyle (40+) – A critic; she is impossible to please and unanimously disliked. She is a former Magistrate and always speaks her mind\, even though nobody asks; everything that’s wrong with the world is at the fault of others and never herself. She is the second guest to arrive at Monkswell Manor. \n  \nMajor Metcalf (40+) – A kind\, well-mannered man who is militant in nature and brings an inherent feeling of safety and security about him. He is the third guest to arrive at the manor. \n  \nMiss Casewell (20s-30s) – A rather standoffish woman who embodies masculine qualities that are ahead of her time. She is mysterious and alludes to a troubling past\, though she has no intention of elaborating on it. She is the fourth guest to arrive at the manor. \n  \nMr. Paravicini (40+) – A mysterious man who arrives unexpectedly during the middle of a snowstorm. He is pleasant enough\, but there is an uneasiness to him. Nobody knows a thing about him\, and he seems to like it that way. He is confident\, speaks with an foreign accent\, and wears evident makeup to make himself appear of a different age – old or young\, it’s hard to tell. The fifth guest to arrive at the Manor. \n  \nDetective Sergeant Trotter (20s-30s) – The final guest to arrive at the Manor. Jaunty and a straight-shooter\, he is sent by the Berkshire Police to investigate the murder which took place on the previous day in London. He informs the guests that the murderer may very well be among them. \n  \nAll roles are available. No prior theatrical or ACT experience is required.\nRoles are open to diverse & gender-inclusive casting.  Our casting seeks to be as inclusive as possible and we invite gender nonconforming\, genderqueer\, transgender and nonbinary actors to select the roles they most identify with. \nAge ranges are suggestions\, please audition for any role you would like. \n  \nQuestions can be directed to the ACT Office. \nPhone: 814-943-4357 \nEmail: act@altoonacommunitytheatre.com

They have been married for one year\, and are very much in love. \n  \nGiles Ralston (20s-30s) – A former Navyman\, he is Mollie’s husband and first-time host of the Manor. He has a tendency of being pessimistic and isn’t always well-received by others\, but he means well and has a good heart. He has been married to Mollie for one year\, and they are very much in love. \n  \nChristopher Wren (20s-30s) – An eccentric\, unapologetic\, somewhat neurotic young man who often leaves people feeling unsettled\, irritated\, or wondering what to think of him. Despite this\, he gains Mollie’s trust quite quickly and they form a friendship. He is the first guest to arrive at the Manor. \n  \nMrs. Boyle (40+) – A critic; she is impossible to please and unanimously disliked. She is a former Magistrate and always speaks her mind\, even though nobody asks; everything that’s wrong with the world is at the fault of others and never herself. She is the second guest to arrive at Monkswell Manor. \n  \nMajor Metcalf (40+) – A kind\, well-mannered man who is militant in nature and brings an inherent feeling of safety and security about him. He is the third guest to arrive at the manor. \n  \nMiss Casewell (20s-30s) – A rather standoffish woman who embodies masculine qualities that are ahead of her time. She is mysterious and alludes to a troubling past\, though she has no intention of elaborating on it. She is the fourth guest to arrive at the manor. \n  \nMr. Paravicini (40+) – A mysterious man who arrives unexpectedly during the middle of a snowstorm. He is pleasant enough\, but there is an uneasiness to him. Nobody knows a thing about him\, and he seems to like it that way. He is confident\, speaks with an foreign accent\, and wears evident makeup to make himself appear of a different age – old or young\, it’s hard to tell. The fifth guest to arrive at the Manor. \n  \nDetective Sergeant Trotter (20s-30s) – The final guest to arrive at the Manor. Jaunty and a straight-shooter\, he is sent by the Berkshire Police to investigate the murder which took place on the previous day in London. He informs the guests that the murderer may very well be among them. \n  \nAll roles are available. No prior theatrical or ACT experience is required.\nRoles are open to diverse & gender-inclusive casting.  Our casting seeks to be as inclusive as possible and we invite gender nonconforming\, genderqueer\, transgender and nonbinary actors to select the roles they most identify with. \nAge ranges are suggestions\, please audition for any role you would like. \n  \nQuestions can be directed to the ACT Office. \nPhone: 814-943-4357 \nEmail: act@altoonacommunitytheatre.com

He will be very busy in this evening’s production. \nTeddy Shub – An over-anxious young actor who appears to be all teeth. \nMrs. Bettina Salisbury – The company diva who was pretending to be ill for this evening’s performance\, assured that the show would be canceled. It hasn’t happened and she appears mid-way through the show determined to play her roles. \n  \nAll roles are available. No prior theatrical or ACT experience is required.\nRoles are open to diverse & gender-inclusive casting.  Our casting seeks to be as inclusive as possible and we invite gender nonconforming\, genderqueer\, transgender and nonbinary actors to select the roles they most identify with. \nAge ranges are suggestions\, please audition for any role you would like. \n  \nQuestions can be directed to the ACT Office. \nPhone: 814-943-4357 \nEmail: act@altoonacommunitytheatre.com

While regular rehearsals will not begin until January\, actors will be expected to be off book at the start of full rehearsals. \nIf you are unable to attend general auditions\, please contact director Tom Liszka at TRL1@psu.edu before October 1 to arrange an alternate time. \nCall-backs are expected to take place October 16 as needed. \n  \nActing audition: It is highly recommended you read the director’s version of the script prior to auditions. Then\, choose two scenes/monologues to prepare from those available in the Google Drive linked below. You do not need to prepare a scene for every character you are interested in playing. If you prepare a scene that requires more than one actor\, a member of the crew will read with you.\nDirector’s note: “I’m interested in actors who can act naturally\, just as you’ve always done for any other part.  Don’t just try to recite Shakespeare’s lines like they are some kind of sacred text.” \nThis show will also incorporate some music elements throughout. Singing\, dancing\, and instrument playing is not a requirement to audition*.\nOptional dance audition: no preparation needed\, you will be taught a dance at auditions\nOptional music audition: prepare any song (the director recommends a “fun schmaltzy Italian song”) to sing acapella or accompanied by a track or yourself; you may also do a music audition with just an instrument and no singing.\n*The character Balthasar will be required to sing in two scenes \nFor more information\, please read the director’s full statement on auditions here.\nIt is highly recommended you read the director’s cut of the script prior to auditions.\nFull Script & Audition scenes available via a Google Drive here.\n  \nAbout the show: \n\nLove is in the air as two of Shakespeare’s most tumultuous couples— Beatrice and Benedick\, and Claudio and Hero—volley hilarious quips and damning accusations back and forth. For Beatrice and Benedick\, wit is a full-contact sport\, and each is happy to throw some elbows. But wethinks they doth protest too much. Sometimes a stubborn soul needs that proverbial kick in the pantaloons to get out of their own way.\n\n\nWill the truth win in this mischievous game of love? Romance\, wit\, false accusations\, mistaken identities\, and a cunning villain fuel this beloved classic with a central couple that set the standard for today’s rom coms.\n\n\nAvailable Roles \n(all auditionees should be of Junior High School age and above) \nDon Pedro—a Prince and a soldier\, any adult age \nLeonato—Hero’s father\, older\, governor of Messina \nAntonio—Beatrice’s father\, even older than Leonato\, a gentleman of Messina \nBenedick—a soldier\, 20-40\, witty\, swears he’ll never marry (until he falls in love)\, upper class \nBeatrice—an independent woman\, 20-40\, witty\, swears she’ll never marry (guess what happens)\, upper class \nClaudio—a soldier\, 20-40\, upper class (must be willing to kiss on stage) \nHero—20-40\, more innocent\, upper class (must be willing to kiss on stage) \nMargaret—an attendant to Hero\, possibly slutty\, thinks herself witty\, probably younger\, but possibly any age \nUrsula—an attendant to Hero\, probably younger\, but possibly any age \nDon John—a soldier\, younger brother to Don Pedro\, also a Prince—the villain \nBorachio—a follower of Don John\, so also a bad guy\, any age\, his name means “drunkard” in Spanish \nConrade—a follower of Don John\, so also a bad guy\, any age\, thinks he’s a gentleman \nDogberry—Constable in charge of the Watch\, lower class\, confuses words\, thinks he’s important\, any age \nVerges—Dogberry’s sidekick\, lower class\, a little slow\, maybe smarter than Dogberry?\, any age \nSexton (Francis Seacoal)\, any age\, lower class\, might be double cast with the Messenger\, and one of the “Several” people below \nMessenger\, a soldier\, might be double cast with the Sexton\, and as one of the “Several” people below \n4 Watchmen/women\, lower class\, any age\, need to develop individual comic attributes\, one of them has pants that fall down \nBalthasar\, a professional singer\, any age\, might be double-cast with the Friar\, might also be a musician \nFriar Francis\, any age\, might be double cast with Balthasar \nSeveral Musicians\, Servants\, Mourners\, a Boy\, Party-goers\, Dancers—4 to 7\, these might all be the same people\, any age \n  \nAll roles are available.

SUMMARY:A Dicken's Christmas Carol
DESCRIPTION:A Dickens’ Christmas Carol: A Traveling Travesty in Two Tumultuous Acts\n\nby Mark Landon Smith\nNovember 14\, 15\, 16 at 7:30\nNovember 17 at 2 PM\n\nDirected by Sam Wagner\n\n\nThis is NOT your traditional “Christmas Carol!” When a rag-tag theatrical touring company stages their 15th annual farewell performance of “A Christmas Carol\,” nothing goes right. All the characters in Dickens’ story are there\, but only seven actors play them. Mayhem ensues as these “seasoned professionals” scramble to keep the show going. But everything that can go wrong does go wrong to hilarious\, ridiculous results!\n\n\nThis show celebrates the Dickens classic but with a bit of a twist. If you love the original but would like to see something a little different this holiday season\, this is the show for you!\n\n\nTickets on sale now through the Mishler Theatre Box Office – 814-944-9434
