[NEohioPAL] AUDITIONS: Exit the Body, by Fred Carmichael

[James Charpie]

East Cleveland Theater is hosting auditions for “Exit the Body”, by Fred
Carmichael.





*Director: Christopher Bizub*





*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 an hilarious
series of entrances and exits.



*The Roles:*



*Crane Hammond**: *Female, 30s to 50s

A successful mystery writer, she is bright, gay, witty and an altogether
likeable person.



*Kate Bixley**: *Female, 30s to 50s

Crane Hammond's secretary, she has an irrepressible sense of humor that
often borders on the sarcastic, but she doesn't really mean it.



*Helen O’Toole**: *Female, 30s to 40s

A very efficient real estate saleswoman, perhaps a trifle too folksy and
straight-laced, but she means well.



*Lillian Seymour**: *Female, 30s to 50s

A top-flight fashion designer.



*Jenny**: *Female, 20s to 30s

Young country girl, rather loud, but the epitome of innocence.



*Lyle Rogers**: *Male, 30s to 50s

Attractive trophy husband of Lillian Seymour.



*Vernon Cookley**: *Male, 30s to 60s

A middle-aged New Englander, who has never traveled more than ten miles
outside his hometown, emotionless and leery of everyone and everything.



*Randolph**: *Male, 20s to 30s

An inept small time crook, and proud of it.



*Philip Smith**: *Male, 30s to 50s

A nice, honest-looking guy with amnesia.



*Richard Hammond**: *Male, 30s to 60s

Crane's husband, average businessman type.
