*Character Descriptions *

   *Varthur McArthur - Artistic Director

Once a Gavroche on Broadway (and not seen on Broadway since), this director
is now in Middle America bringing culture to Philistines. Pompous,
arrogant, loves being a big fish in a little town. (MALE; Eb3-B5)


   *Justine Case - Detective

Lowly meter maid promoted to detective when everyone else on the force is
unavailable. This is her big break and she’s determined and quirky.
The suspects have disdain for her because she has ticketed them all.
Knows nothing about theatre. (FEMALE; G3-F#5)


   *Clarke Staples - Stage Manager

Has been working as a stage manager, assistant director, assistant to
the director, box office manager, concessions, barback, and typist for
Varthur for ten years. Beleaguered and loyal, could they have finally
snapped? (ANY; A3-G4)


   *Shea Crescendo - Production Designer

Works at theatre full-time - costumes, sets; a visionary with too
few resources. Shea goes all the way with everything they do, whether
they’re designing a show or playing a role in a murder mystery dinner
party. It’s all or nothing for Shea. (ANY; E3-F5)


   *Vivika Orsonwelles - Leading Lady

Pharmacist by day, star by night. When she finds out Varthur cast Lily,
an ambitious upstart, as the lead in the murder mystery dinner party
instead of her, she is fuming. Is she mad enough to take revenge? (FEMALE;
G3-C#5)


   *Lily Wright - Ingenue

Real Estate Broker by day and aspiring leading lady by night. She’s tired
of playing second fiddle to Vivika. She wants her own spotlight and tonight
she’s finally gotten it. (FEMALE; G3-D5)


   *George Murderer - Leading Man

A trust-fund kid who fancies himself a musical theatre writer. In
fact, he believes
he has written the next HAMILTON. The Artistic Director has been shrining him
along, taking his family’s money, making him think that they would be doing
his musical next. When the cast list went out and it wasn’t for his
musical, he was livid. (MALE; Db3-C#5)


   *Cameron Mitchelljohn - Always in the Chorus

Cameron took off work tonight - as a caterer/waiter - because Varthur promised
him a role in the murder mystery. Only, lo and behold, he’s playing the
mute steward - so he’s still taking coats, serving canapés, and waiting for
his moment to shine. (MALE; A2-A4)


   *Joan McArthur - Director’s Wife

An estate lawyer who prefers to work with dead people, Joan has bankrolled
this entire theatre venue and she’s fed up. She’s been trying to sell the
building and everything they own goes to her in Varthur’s will. (FEMALE;
F3-E5)


   *Jeremy Jordan

A fantasy version of the Broadway star. (MALE; Eb3-C5)


   *Detective Case

A latter day version of Justine, now a grand dame of policework who is
alternately
procrastinating and writing her memoirs. (FEMALE; G3-C#5)


   *Ensemble

Back-up singers and dancers that appear at different points in the murder
mystery.


*NOTE: Casting is open to all regardless of age, race, gender, etc.*
