Auditions Announced for THE REAL INSPECTOR HOUND at CenterStage Players

CSPOH_logoTHE REAL INSPECTOR HOUND is a satiric parody of those notorious Agatha Christie murder mysteries. Rave reviews greeted this long one-act masterpiece of farce.

Feuding theatre critics Moon and Birdboot, the first a fusty philanderer and the second a pompous and vindictive second stringer, are swept into the whodunit they are viewing. In the hilarious spoof of Agatha Christie-like melodramas that follows, the body under the sofa proves to be the missing first-string critic. As mists rise about isolated Muldoon Manor, Moon and Birdfoot become dangerously implicated in the lethal activities of an escaped madman.

Mon & Tue, Nov. 28-29 from 7-9pm
The North College Hill City Center 1500 W. Galbraith Rd 45231

Show Dates: January 27-Feb. 4
Rehearsals begin Dec. 4

  • British accents will be used.
  • Cold readings from the script.

Male Roles:

  • Birdboot…an arrogant, self-absorbed theatre critic who desires both Felicity and Cynthia (age – 40+)
  • Moon…a second-string theatre critic who desires recognition (age – 40+)
  • Simon Gascoyne…young, attractive, mysterious visitor to Muldoon Manor who “knows?” Felicity and is enticed by Cynthia (age – 25 +)
  • Major Magnus Muldoon…the crippled half-brother of Lord Albert Muldoon…desires Cynthia…hates Simon (age – 35+)
  • Inspector Hound…a Peter Seller’s send up who is investigating an alleged phone call…over the top (age – 35+)

Female Roles:

  • Mrs. Drudge…The life-long maid of Muldoon Manor…never misses a chance to eavesdrop (age – 50+)
  • Felicity Cunningham…young, attractive, “innocent?” friend of Cynthia – who “knows?”
  • Cynthia Muldoon…attractive,  apparent widow of Lord Albert…claims to mourn Albert’s disappearance…but entices Simon (age – 35+)

This powerful musical tells the story of a group of teens as they discover that there may be more to this life that they don’t fully understand than they may have thought. Featuring beautiful songs like, “Mama Who Bore Me,” “My Junk” and “I Don’t Do Sadness.” This is a powerful show you don’t want to miss being a part of.

  • Saturday, November 5th from 1-4pm
  • Invited Callbacks: Sunday, November 6th from 1-4pm

Where:
St. Bartholomew Parish in the meeting room on the upper level of the Activities Center

Who:
Due to the more mature themes, and the heaviness of the script, all auditionees must be at least 13 years of age. This is the approximate age of the characters in the show, though it is usually performed by actors between 16-24. If you are unsure if this production is right for you, please do some research and be honest when making your decision.

What to Prepare:
All auditioness should come pepared with a song that best represents your vocal ability as well as your ability to hold your own on stage, as the musical numbers in this show are done “concert style.” You can sing acapella or with an accmpaniment track. There WILL NOT be an accompanist. Auditionees may also be asked to read from the script.

What we are looking for:
Strong performers who have the ability to develop a character beyond what is written on the page, as well as being able to draw the audience in with their solo vocal performace. Beyond the named characters in the script, we are looking for TWO, TRAINED FEMALE DANCERS and ONE TRAINED MALE DANCER to tell parts of the story through lyrical dance performance. These roles will also be part of the male or female “ensemble.” If you want to audition for one of the dance roles specifically, please come with a short combination to demonstrate your ability or we can teach one to you.

Other Information:
To schedule an audition time, please email queencityproductions@yahoo.com. Rehearsals will most likely be Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays from 7-9:30pm at Roger Bacon High School. Performances are January 6-9th at Roger Bacon High School.
