MURDER MYSTERY FANS GET READY

AUDITIONS & SHOWS THIS FALL
MURDER MYSTERY FANS GET READY


HARTFORD COUNTY, CT - Get your drama hats on because the award-winning Connecticut company, AspenDream Productions announced today that it is official - they are casting for their new exciting murder mystery shows, “I Haven’t Got a Clue”© and Murder at the Mardi Gras© and Holidays Can Kill You©. Auditions Dates for all three (3) shows are on: Sunday, September 11, 2022 from 2:00PM to 3:30PM by appointment only. Applicants may also submit on-line monologues to http://adpdinnertheater@gmail.com. Experienced artists and Show managers only please.

Mystery fans, get ready for an all-new “Clue-like” show coming this fall! “I Haven’t Got a Clue”. The show is loosely adapted on the well-known 1985 black comedy mystery film, “Clue”. It was written and conceived during the height of COVID by the Artistic Director, Janice Luise and her crew to be COVID safe.

Additionally, AspenDream is well-known to give back to the community and will be offering these shows “at cost” for a limited time to the public. “Our goal, said Luise, is to help businesses get back on their feet, support struggling actors, and get patrons back in the theater. Please support us.”

Only a few key roles are needed at the moment and they must be prime players. The pay is great and they also receive dinner. BUT, we do not tolerate "drama" off the stage.

Next is the exciting "Murder at the Mardi Gras". Franco attends this fun celebration but something eerie happens. The doors lock and we are told no one can go home until the murder is solved. Why is it when Franco is around, there are always problems??
