So begins *Dead Man’s Cell Phone*, a wildly imaginative new comedy by MacArthur “Genius” Grant recipient and Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl. A work about how we memorialize the dead – and how that remembering changes us – it is the odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about morality, redemption, and the need to connect in a technologically obsessed world. *Once again, subscriptions and/or individual tickets are now on sale.* We look forward to seeing you at the shows and thank you for supporting the arts in our communities!

Austin Pendleton, actor, director,playwright & master teacher. “I loveworking with Bill in his ACTING BY MISTAKE workshops. I’ve been taking hisworkshops for years now. He gets us to ‘connect’ with the character in anorganic way. He helps us allay the normal fears we have as actors and our needto get it ‘right’ by creating a playful process in which we focus more on thecharacter’s experience than getting the exact words of the text correct in therehearsal process. That is so freeing. I’m feeling much more confident now inhow I approach a character and trust that organic process of developing acharacter.” John Sannuto, Chair, TheatreDepartment, Long Island university.

AUDITIONS - STIPEND PAY - The Roaring 2020s: An Original Immersive Murder Mystery Dinner Experience - Presented by The Bohemian Comedians
by Jesse Oyster 22 Jan '25

22 Jan '25

The Bohemian Comedians, a rising comedic theatrical troupe, is excited to announce in-person and online auditions on January 26th for performance roles with stipend pay in their upcoming production of *The Roaring 2020s: * *An Original Interactive Murder Mystery Dinner Experience* *Written and Directed By Jesse Oyster* The Roaring 2020s is a genre bending new work that seeks to take audiences through the immersive multi-layered story of a Murder mystery Dinner experience GONE WRONG. *Performance Dates:* March 6th and 13th *Location:* All in person auditions, rehersals, and performances will take place at Reithoffer’s @ 17711 Ravenna Rd, Chagrin Falls, OH, 44023 *The Synopsis (before the show goes wrong):* Power is a precarious ladder in Capone’s Chicago, especially when his family gets involved. The owner of Pablo’s Preserves, Chicago’s newest speakeasy, finds herself in over her head trying to balance a hostile takeover from the Italian mafia, and a gold mine trade agreement for imported vodka with a mysterious Russian duchess. Forbidden loves will be revealed, ambitions will be crushed, and loyalties will be pushed past the brink as they unravel the secrets behind a mysterious death. *The Synopsis (after the show goes wrong): * Lucy Lancer, the ambitious owner of Pablo’s, gets a little more than she bargained for after asking Broadway's latest washed-up actor/playwright, Maxwell Maddock, for a murder mystery dinner experience. Guests join in the action for the calamitous grand opening of a 1920s murder mystery filled with eccentric characters, bootlegging, and espionage. It is clear though from the beginning that strange ambitions are at work behind the scenes. Lucy struggles to maintain her composure as the opening cocktail hour spins out of control. Her uninvited conman ex arrives, a key actor is replaced at the last minute by an apathetic understudy, and the head chef keeps sending people on seemingly irrelevant side missions with dire implications. The murder mystery and backstage drama finally collide when Lucy is murdered during the opening toast in a flicker of the lights. As each performer breaks character and copes with the loss of their patron and friend, Maxwell refuses to drop character as Massimo, the Mafia Boss Bastard of Capone, until the mystery is solved. As guests work with the cast to uncover the secret plots of the other performers, they discover the owner might not have been the only potential victim of the night. *Actor Compensation: * All actors will receive a $100 stipend per performance. No AEA Contracts available for this production. *Audition Information: * *Audition date:* January 26th from 5:00-7:00pm *Audition Location:* Reithoffer’s @ 17711 Ravenna Rd, Chagrin Falls, OH, 44023 *Audition Parking:* Parking will be provided behind the venue building. *Online Video Audition Submissions* will be open until January 26th at 5:00pm. to submit a virtual audition email your resume, headshot, list of conflicts, and a youtube link to your video audition to bohemiancomedians(a)gmail.com Please sign up for a 5 minute in person audition slot or video submission slot below. *Audition Sign Up Link:* https://www.signupgenius.com/.../805084FACAD2DA7FC1... <https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.signupgenius.com%2Fgo%2F80…> *What To Prepare: * Monologue cuts for each character are provided on Sign Up Genius.
