Casting Call for Murder in the House of Horrors: Carson City — Proscenium Players, Inc., in conjunction with Silver State High School in Carson City is auditioning for the adult roles in a murder mystery production by Billy St. John – Murder in the House of Horrors.

The play is family oriented and includes audience participation. The Carson museum is sponsoring a lecture on ’Monsters, Murderers, and Madmen.’ Suddenly, the lights go out during the presentation plunging the auditorium into darkness. When the lights come on, the professor is dead and the priceless jewel he was holding has vanished! The cast and audience are drawn into this mystery, both as witnesses and suspects. When Lt. Dan Morrow arrives, he narrows the suspects to seven. Was it the jealous wife? Or maybe the exotic Egyptian who cursed the expedition? The lieutenant enlists the audience’s aid in solving the crime, allowing them to question and accuse the suspects. This unique mystery contains many laughs as well as shivers.

Auditions will be held at the Silver State Charter School – Performing Arts Center (main auditorium), 900 Mallory Rd., Carson City. (Adjacent to the Nevada Appeal offices.) Audition schedule is Saturday and Sunday, June 29 & 30, from 2:30 to 5:30 pm. Auditions will be cold reading using segments of the play script. Casting will include 5 adult males (ages 30 to 50), 8 adult females (ages 20 to 60), and a mix of extras (any age). SSHS students will be participating in ancillary roles in pre- and post-performances. No appointment is necessary. MUST BE 18 OR OVER TO AUDITION FOR MAIN ROLES.
