DEATHTRAP  

AUDITIONS JULY 12 & 13

Show Dates: August 27-30 and September 3-6

Directed by Rick Johnson

Excerpts from the script will be provided (no monologues are necessary). All are welcome to audition.

Rehearsals: Beginning Thursday, July 16, and then generally four nights per week (Monday through Thursday) until Tech Week (week of August 16). Bring your calendar to auditions and be prepared to list all potential conflicts.

Synopsis: In Ira Levin’s classic comedic thriller, Deathtrap, a washed-up playwright finds a chance to rise to the top once more, a shot he’d be willing to kill for. Sidney Bruhl hasn’t written a hit play for 18 years when he receives a script from a former student, Clifford Anderson, that’s a guaranteed success. His wife, Myra, suggests the two men could collaborate, but Sidney jokes that it’d be just as easy to murder the young man and steal the script for his own. When Clifford arrives later that evening, no one--not even Helga Ten Dorp, the visiting psychic, or Porter Milgram, Sydney’s lawyer--could predict where the dark events of the night will go.

All roles are available:

Sydney Bruhl (40s-60s) – a once-famous Broadway playwright who has had several recent flops and is currently experiencing writer’s block; brilliant, egotistical, charming, and dangerously manipulative; thinks he’s the smartest man in the room and wants people to know it. Role requires some physicality (fight scenes and lifting) and mild intimacy with Myra and Clifford.

Myra Bruhl (40s-60s) – Sidney’s devoted but fragile wife. Warm, anxious, and emotionally sensitive, Myra suffers from a heart condition that makes her vulnerable to stress. She is sincere and loving, though often overshadowed by Sidney’s ego. Role requires some physicality (lifting and falls) and mild intimacy with Sydney.

Clifford Anderson (20s-30s) – a former student of Sidney’s and an aspiring writer. He is boyish and handsome; physically fit; very clever; KNOWS he’s the smartest man in the room and can bide his time to display it; displays innocence, affection, and naïveté – until he doesn’t. The role requires some physicality (fight scenes and lifting) and mild intimacy with Sydney.

Helga Ten Dorp (40s-70s) – a flamboyant Dutch celebrity psychic who loves every minute of her fame; has a bold personality and a questionable accent; provides much of the play’s comic relief while also serving as an unexpected truth-teller. Larger-than-life, fearless, and delightfully absurd. Role requires a physical actor – who will act out acts of violence and intimacy performed by others.

Porter Milgram (40s-60s) – Sidney’s friend and attorney; a successful lawyer, but a failed playwright. He is very sharp and observant about little details but sometimes misses the bigger picture.

All ages are approximate, and appearance is more important than actual age.

Age ranges are guidelines, and all who are interested are encouraged to audition.
