[NEohioPAL] "Unexpected Guest" Auditions at Coach House

[Nancy Cates]

Coach House Theatre auditions Agatha Christie's The Unexpected Guest

Directed by Andrew Cruse, Associate Artistic Director, Ohio Shakespeare
Festival

 

 

Coach House's audiences love nothing better than the annual murder mystery,
especially when it's penned by the Queen of Crime herself!  In The
Unexpected Guest, a stranger lost in the fog wanders into the Warwick estate
to find the man of the house dead, and his beautiful wife with a gun in her
hand.  Everyone in the household, however, has a reason to want the master
dead, and none of the facts match the appearances.

 

The Details:

 

Tuesday, October 26th and Wednesday, October 27th, 7pm at the theatre

732 W. Exchange St., Akron, OH 44303

 

Auditioners should choose the character(s) for whom they would like to be
