Murder, You Must Be Kidding!
Auditions: August 9 & 10, 2021
Cast: 5 Females & 3 Males
Director Mickey Hockstedder can barely stand the outrageous acting styles of his actresses - and that includes his wife, Clarise. Imagine his surprise when a complete stranger named Lionel appears, claiming that his lead actor Daryl has been murdered! Even after the police arrive, no one believes Lionel, especially since Daryl is known for shenanigans of this sort. Snappy wisecracks turn to frightening accusations as Snooky, Barbara, Margo and Lucille continue to rehearse - and the murder-mystery they're rehearsing starts to look amazingly like real life! Who is this stranger? What is reality? What is rehearsed? And who forgot the bean dip? This frantic whodunit will keep the audience guessing until the final curtain.

Puffs
Auditions: Jan. 10 & 11, 2022
Cast: Youth (6th Grade through College) 5 Females, 5 Males, 1 M or F
The New York Times proclaims PUFFS, “A FAST-PACED ROMP through the ‘Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic.’ For POTTERphiliacs who grew up alongside Potter and are eager to revisit that world, ‘PUFFS’ exudes a jovial, winking fondness for all things Harry!”
This clever and inventive play “never goes more than a minute without a laugh” (Nerdist) giving you a new look at a familiar adventure from the perspective of three potential heroes just trying to make it through a magic school that proves to be very dangerous for children. Alongside them are the Puffs, a group of well-meaning, loyal outsiders with a thing for badgers “who are so lovable and relatable, you’ll leave the theater wishing they were in the stories all along” (Hollywood Life). Their “hilariously heartfelt!” (Metro) and epic journey takes the classic story to new places and reimagines what a boy wizard hero can be.
