December, 1940. An eccentric theatre financier has gathered a team at her mansion in Chappaqua, New York. Everyone believes that they will have a backer’s audition in order to get financing for the newest musical. However, the shadow of the team’s last show hangs over the group–deemed a flop, Manhattan Holiday was ravaged by the “Stage Door Slasher,” a mysterious killer. The undercover police officer is hoping to flush out the killer from this group of suspects–but the killer has other plans. Throw in blizzard conditions and secret passageways to create an Agatha-Christie-meets-Clue formula of whodunnit parody. The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940 is full of delightful slapstick comedy.

Cast 5 M, 5 W various ages 20 to 70 plus – suggested stage ages

  • HELGA – The German maid. 30’s plus. No nonsense.
  • ELSA VON GROSSENKNUETEN – The Host. 40’s plus. Flair for dramatic and extremely eccentric. Espionage is in her blood.
  • SARGENT MICHEAL KELLY – The Law. 40’s plus Irish, New York City Police Officer . Tough no nonsense.
  • MR. PATRICK O’REILLEY – An Actor. 30’s plus. Rather sinister looking.
  • KEN DE LA MAIZE- The Director. 40’s plus. Self absorbed. Likes to drop names in a most annoying way.
  • NIKKI CRANDALL- An Actress. Mid to late 20’s plus. Considered a typical chorus girl.
  • EDDIE MCCUEN – An Actor. Mid to late 20’s plus. Struggling out of work comedian. Is attracted to Nikki.
  • MRS. MARJORIE BAVERSTOCK – The Producer. 40’s plus. Dresses and carries herself like Royalty. Flatters everybody around her.
  • BERNICE ROTH – The Librettist. 40’s plus. Dresses like a gypsy dancer. Rather odd and emotional. A drinker who has zero espionage in her blood.
  • ROGER HOPEWELL – The Lyricist. 40’s plus. Outrageous, flamboyant song writing partner of Bernice.

Walterhoope is seeking the following performers for its upcoming world premiere of 13th & Republic, a dance and musical reflection on excessive use of police force in Black communities. The piece will follow a single character who interacts with an ensemble of dancers and chorus of singers to tell their story. Abstracted and refocused, sometimes told out of time, sometimes painfully in time, the story carries the audience through the performance to answer the question, “Where do we go from here?”

Auditions by appointment. Please email your headshot and resume to casting@walterhoope.com to schedule an appointment. Preparation instructions for the audition will be provided once scheduled.

Casting Breakdown:

Apollo: African-American. Strong and vulnerable, between 20s and 30s. Ability to move from hip-hop to modern dance seamlessly. Keen sense of awareness, and physically unapologetic. Experience with classical and poetic text, and ease of facility with making the text come alive. Risk-taker, but also knows how to play by the rules. Strong vocalist, with a voice that commands the space.

2 Dancers: Agile and smooth as butter. Natural ability towards musicality in movement. Can tell a story just with the body, but also has the strength of text work. Ability to shift from character to character with tangible extremes. Vulnerable and able to dig deep.

4 Singers: Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bass for Chamber Opera Vocal Quartet. Standard ranges. Styles:  Recitation with Percussion improvisation, Chamber Opera and Solo Singing, Contemporary-Renaissance Madrigal, Gospel, 20th Century Classical styles (some dissonant multi-meter and intensely rhythmic singing). Embody the voices of the community and ancillary characters.

Percussionist: Performer will be working alongside the dancers during rehearsals developing percussive elements in an open ended and semi-improvisatory context. Instruments will be provided during the audition.
