K. Brideswell. During the performance, a play within a play, a plethora of disasters befall the cast, including doors sticking, props falling from the walls, and floors collapsing. Cast members are seen misplacing props, forgetting lines, missing cues, breaking character, drinking paint thinner, mispronouncing words, stepping on fingers, being hidden in a grandfather clock, and being manhandled off stage. This cascading comedy of errors is a wild ride for actors and audiences alike! All actors 18+ will be considered. No roles have been pre-cast. We are seeking 6 men, 2 women. * Chris Bean / Inspector Carter * Jonathan Harris / Charles Haversham * Robert Grove / Thomas Colleymoore * Dennis Tyde / Perkins * Sandra Wilkinson / Florence Colleymoore * Max Bennett / Cecil Haversham / Arthur the Gardener * Trevor Watson / Lighting Sound Operator * Annie Twilloil / Stage Manager Also needed 2-4 Ensemble roles without lines, appearing in the production as stagehands.
