Hello everyone!!
Calvary University's Theatre Department will be hosting additional auditions this coming Friday, February 7th, at 7:00 p.m. in the Liberty Chapel for the Spring production of Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap.
Liberty Chapel: 15790 157th St, Kansas City, MO 64147
Please note, that the roles of Mollie, Miss Casewell and Major Metcalf are filled.
Even if you do not have any experience, come, and try anyways. We love to see new faces and are excited to work with all of you. There are technical positions open too if you are interested in the technical theatre sides.
Performances will be March 20th- 24th at Calvary University's Liberty Chapel.

More information in the link below.
What to Bring:
1. Your sleuthing skills.
2. Your conflicts from February 10th-March 24th.

Character Break Down: ( Please note, we will be casting based on who we think works for the role. Not so much for the age next to the character.)
-Giles Ralston, Male; Age 20s to early 30s. Owns Monkswell Manor with his wife Mollie; somewhat arrogant and jealous of the other guests' attentions
toward Mollie.
-Christopher Wren, Male; Age 20s to 30s. The first guest to arrive at the hotel, Wren is a hyperactive young man who acts in a very peculiar manner. Wren
claims to have been named after the architect of the same name by his parents.
-Mrs. Boyle, Female; Age 40s to 60s. Mrs. Boyle is an imposing woman in a bad temper; she complains about everything. She is disapproving of every
effort that Mollie and Giles produce to make her comfortable.
-Mr. Paravicini, Male; Age 30s to 50s. A man of unknown provenance who turns up claiming his car has overturned in a snowdrift. He appears to be affecting a foreign accent and artificially aged with make-up.
-Sgt. Trotter, Male; Age late 20s to early 40s. Detective Sergeant Trotter is a
cheerful, common-place man who arrives at the guest house on skis to
investigate a local murder.
