"More Mystery on the
Moors"
Ah, the English Moors! Was there ever a more mysterious place
than the moors? Certainly there could be no more mysterious place on the moors
than the dark and forbidding Reilbahd Manor, site of many strange occurrences.
Take a trip back to Victorian England where Lord Maxwell DeWintergreen is about
to announce his engagement to the lovely Emily Ingenue. But what monster lurks
on the moors? Why are the people at Reilbahd Manor in such a real bad mood? Is
that beast howling for Rebecca, the late Lady of the Manor? Perhaps the
housekeeper, Inga Glaus Strychnine, is causing the poor predator to howl?
Perhaps Dr. Helen Emtry and Sheerluck Homes can help us figure it all
out.
Henry Heath: (Cockney gardener and is a war hero in
the charge of the Light Brigade in India. He leads singing ensamble song and
dance Henry the Eight.)
Inga Strychnine: (German
housekeeper like Cloris Leechman in Young Frankenstein.)
Emily
Ingenue: (The ingenue of the Realbad Manor but who, behind Maxwells
back, flirts with the men. She sings solo dance and song Money Makes the World
Go Round.)
Maxwell de Wintergreen: (Lord of Realbad
Manor. Very charming and proper English gentleman but flirts with the women
behind Emilys back.)
Dr. Helen Emtry: (The brains of the
investigative team) Emily's aunt and famous doctor of psychology from the Lune
D' Toone Asylum in Paris.
Sheerluck Homes: (Solving a
crime is truly -- sheer luck) A man who hardly needs any introduction -- though
the greatest mystery is how he ever got his reputation of
brilliance.
Alice Shady: (Innocent young-looking singer,
dancer) The poor dear is the orphaned daughter of Marcia Shady, the sister of
the late Lady DeWintergreen, Rebecca.
"Mid-Evil Days &
Knights,"
takes place in The Mid-Evil age of England at Earl Blackney Grey's Darksome
Castle and is a tale of maidens, knights, witchcraft and hey-nonny-nonny. Who
will the Earl designate his heir: his chip-off-the-old-block son, Colwyn (Cole)
Grey; or his minstrel son, Edward Grey? Which son does Lady Faye Grey favor?
Will the quick-witted Brother Smothers from the Monastery of St. Elmer the
Beduddled unravel the mystery? Is Lilith of the Valley really a witch? Is Nellie
the nurse the Earls fancy or does he have eyes on
another?

Who We Are & What We
Do:
Hunt Mysteries can be classified as intimate theater.
Specifically we perform murder mystery dinner theater; our emphasis is on comedy
and audience participation.
We perform public shows frequently throughout
the Wasatch Front.
We regularly perform for private parties &
conventions throughout Utah.
We also perform for clients outside of Utah
in locations such as Wendover, Mesquite & Las Vegas, Nevada; Green River,
Pinedale & Evanston Wyoming; Denver, Colorado and elsewhere.
Our
scripts are about 20 pages in length -- and only represent about 1/3 of an
evening's performance.
One third in character adlib entertaining of guests
at their tables.
One third in character adlib answering questions during
sleuthing.
One third scripted dialogue.
The major difference between
regular theater and Hunt Mysteries comedy murder mystery dinner theater is that
there is no "4th Wall" between the actors and the guests. In fact, the actors
generally eat dinner with the guests, staying in character throughout the entire
night. There are no curtains to hide behind!
Who We Need:
Actors who do best in our shows:
Are
creative, charismatic and have a passion for theater.
Are outgoing and enjoy
mixing with guests.
Can do impromptu entertainment.
Continuously stay in
character.
"Think on their feet."
Have a flair for comedy.
Can sing
& dance.
When We Need You:
We generally hold open auditions every two
months.
If you'd like to be considered for director of a show, contact W. Lee
Hunt.
What To Bring:
Prepare a comedic monologue of your
choice.
Prepare an upbeat song of your choice. Bring your own cassette tape
or CD Karaoke minus track accompaniment. (No piano accompaniment available.)
Be prepared to do a quick dance combination.
Bring your résumé if we
don't already have one, including a headshot photo that we can keep on file.

dates -- Filling out a schedule form is part of the audition process.
