PLAY INFO:
This psychological drama is a thinking person's Gothic thriller, a dark comedy
that is both funny and frightening. On a snowy night, Inspector Ruffing is
called to a remote house to investigate the headlong plunge of Patrick Roarke
down the main staircase. He becomes involved in the lives of five alluring and
dangerous women. They lead him through a bewildering labyrinth of contradictory
versions of Patrick's demise and that of the late Mr. Ravenscroft. There are
ghosts on the staircase, skeletons in the closet, and much more than the
Inspector bargained for. His investigation leads into own tortured soul and the
nature of truth itself. You will not guess the ending, but you will be teased,
seduced, bewildered, amused, frightened and led to a dark encounter with truth
or something even stranger.
Performance Date: March 26, 27, April 2 & 3 at Melrose School.

Everyone is always encouraged to audition.
No Experience is necessary!
"I can’t act!", you say. But a theater has many other slots to fill before a
production is ready for an audience. Some are: build sets; write
publicity; box office; design programs; ushers; work on the Newsletter; props;
costumes; and on and on and on. So come and find out more about this fun
and fulfilling community group!
So what happens when you come?
You'll be asked to read a scene or multiple scenes from the play with several
other actors.
Very Important - Bring a list of dates (conflicts) when you will not be
available to rehearse.
If you are not cast on your first attempt, don't be discouraged. There are lots of reasons director's cast a show the way they do and you may have an opportunity in another show.
