Synopsis:

A mystery writer rents a New England house that is the rendezvous point for
some jewel thieves. The focal point of the set is the closet which opens
into a living room and a library. A body found in the closet promptly
disappears only to be succeeded by another. The hunt for the jewels reaches
a climax at two A.M. when four couples unknown to each other turn up to
search. Not since the days of Mack Sennett has there been such a hilarious
series of entrances and exits.



What to Prepare:

Monologues are welcome, but the focus of the auditions will be on cold
readings of scenes from the script. Copies of the script are on reserve and
available for perusal in the LCCC Bass Library. Please note that they
cannot be checked out.



The following roles are available. Nothing has been precast.



LILLIAN SEYMOUR 35+ Designer of high end fashion for women; a classy lady
but with an odd sense of humor.

LYLE ROGERS 35+ Lillian’s new husband; good sport who puts up with more
than he should.

JENNY 20’s Simple, home-spun maid/cook; she has a big secret.

RANDOLPH late 20’s Trying hard to be a classy crook, and not succeeding.

HELEN O’TOOLE any age; A “down home” real estate agent with a secret.

VERNON COOKLEY late 40’s/early 50’s; Sheriff; he’s a combination of Andy
Taylor and Barney Fife. He is also the taxi driver, justice of the peace
and sexton of the church

PHILIP SMITH any age; a detective who spends most of the show suffering
from amnesia.

KATE BIXLEY 35+ Overflowing with wit and sarcasm, she is secretary to the
mystery writer. She is a bachelorette on the prowl.

CRANE HAMMOND 35+ Famous mystery writer; clever, charming, likable; she may
be the only one with any sense.

RICHARD HAMMOND 35+ Crane’s husband; a would be novelist who currently
writes an advice column under the pen name of Dorothy Duckworth. He is only
in the last act.
