The Hudson Players will hold auditions for the fun and funny musical comedy

available with interested crew and production team members (publicity, set,
props, costumes, sound, lights, etc) also being sought. Auditions are open
to all with no restrictions. Those auditioning will be asked to read from
the script and have a song prepared (accompanist will be provided). More

Library. 

"Something's Afoot," pokes light hearted fun at the murder mystery genre,
touching all the well know detective story favorites with a particular focus
on Agatha Christie and her show "And Then There Were None." With
performances scheduled for February 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 17*, 22 & 23 the
musical, with book, music and lyrics by James McDonald, David Vos and Robert
Gerlach and additional music by Ed Linderman, will be directed by Dave
Stebbins. Roles are available for 6 men and 4 women ages 17 to 65 (actual
ages can vary). 

The player involves a group of people who are invited to the lake estate of
Lord Dudley Rancour. When the wealthy lord is found dead, its a race against
the clock to find out whodunit. Nominated for the Oliver Award as Best
Musical of the Year, the show immediately makes it clear, "The Butler Didn't
Do It," and is sure to provide a uniquely entertaining and laugh filled
evening. Ten people are stranded in an isolated English country house during
a raging thunderstorm. One by one they are picked off by odd, yet cleverly
fiendish and amusing devices. Filled with booby-traps and belted songs this
hilarious spoof hums along as the audience plays armchair detective to a
zany cast of characters.

The cast will include:

*	Lettie - "The saucy maid" (Cockney) 
*	Flint - "The caretaker" (Cockney) 
*	Clive - "The fussy butler" 
*	Hope Langdon - "The Young Ingenue" 
*	Dr. Grayburn - "The family doctor" 
*	Nigel Rancour - "The black sheep nephew" 
*	Lady Grace Manley-Prowde - "The Grande Dame" 
*	Colonel Gillweather - "The old army man" 
*	Miss Tweed - "The tweedy, elderly amateur detective" 
*	Geoffrey - "The juvenile; the uninvited guest"
