LTC is holding auditions for ASSASSINS on Mar. 22 & 24 at 6:30pm.

All auditioners should prepare a cutting of a Sondheim song or similar; preferably not from ASSASSINS. The cutting should be limited to 1.5 minutes. That number may use recorded accompaniment or bring sheet music for the accompanist. If it is a track, you must know how to cue it and play it.

Auditioners will also be asked to learn one of the show’s numbers as a group, and auditions will be done workshop style.

Performances are May 8-10 & 15-20.

Announcing auditions for THE MUSICAL COMEDY MURDERS OF 1940.

Synopsis
The creative team responsible for a recent Broadway flop (in which three chorus girls were murdered by the mysterious “Stage Door Slasher”) assemble for a backer’s audition of their new show at the Westchester estate. The house is full of sliding panels and secret passageways. As the composer, lyricist, actors, and director prepare their performance, and a blizzard cuts off any possible retreat, the infamous “Slasher” makes his reappearance and strikes again. Bodies start to drop in plain sight, knives spring out of nowhere, masked figures drag their victims behind swiveling bookcases, and accusing fingers point in all directions. However, the mystery is solved in the nick of time and the Slasher unmasked—but not before the audience has been treated to a sidesplitting good time and a generous serving of the author’s biting, satiric, and refreshingly irreverent wit.
