SYNOPSIS
“All those who enter, never leave.” Anyone who dares enter the abandoned township of Dead Man’s Crossing must submit to the rule of the supernatural. Once a formidable man of the law, Marshal Courtright is now The Ghoul of the land. He has turned Cassidy, a well-known socialite, into a fellow supernatural ghoul. Together they lure unsuspecting humans to sacrifice their heads to the Headless Horseman before feasting upon their remains. But this time is different. This time one of the humans is Wyatt, Cassidy’s brother. Will he make it out alive?

CHARACTERS
Marshal Jim Courtright (Male) – He is a strong, formidable supernatural force to be reckoned with both physically and in overall presence. He is the ghoul in power and only answers to the Headless Horseman.

Cassidy (Female) – Cassidy was well-loved by all before disappearing from her hometown. She was turned into a ghoul by Marshal Courtright and is now his subservient partner. Her supernatural skills include telekinesis and incantations.

Wyatt (Male) – The brother to Cassidy, he has come looking for his sister to save the day. He’s an all-round hero of a guy never short on integrity or bravery.

Professor Cody (Male) – The comic relief and friend of Wyatt, Cody is well-educated in all things especially the lore of the supernatural. He’s the brains to Wyatt’s bravery, but much prefers the solitude of a library to a trip to Ghoul-town.

Headless Horseman (Male) – The stories are true. The Headless Horseman eternally rides at night seeking to make himself whole again by acquiring a decapitated head before returning to his “unresting” place. This is a non-speaking role.

A strong, friendly man-about-town, he’s the man in charge of his not-so-smart deputy protecting their fair city from bad guys who have just strolled into town. (This character is responsible for setting the pace of the show and must be able to speak in front of and capture the attention of large crowds and audiences.)

Deputy Leon – (Male, 18-45 years old) This Deputy may not be the best at his job, but he sure is the funniest! After convincing the Marshal to switch jobs with him for the day, a couple of rotten bad guys come into town and put Leon’s courage to the test. (This role requires a character actor capable of high energy and excellent comedic timing.)

Slade – (Male, 18-50 years old) New to town, he doesn’t take kindly to Deputy Leon’s antics. With his partner by his side, he resorts to a gunfight to take down the Marshal and Deputy.

Sidesaddle – (Male, 18-50 years old) Sidekick to Slade, this tough desperado won’t take any funny business from anyone. He’s in the thick of the action when the big shootout goes down. (This role REQUIRES A 10-12ft HIGH FALL)

We're auditioning for our 2023 Lone Star Murder Mystery, "Write Between the Eyes!"
https://lagniappeproductions.com/about-us/auditions/
WRITE BETWEEN THE EYES

Stop that train! The railroad tycoon, Horace Grimsby has been murdered and a deadly gunslinger is in town! This can’t be a good combination and it’s got Marshal Jim Courtright more nervous than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Homicidal Hank, the hit man for hire, ain’t the only suspect. There’s also Buffalo Joe, a buffalo hunter (hence the name) that’s spent a little too much time ridin’ the range; Catastrophe Kate who’s the local cattle rancher with a serious grudge against mules; and Sissy Mae Prissbottom, a writer of genteel poetry for ladies with a secret to hide.

Tarnation! This zany cast of characters is more volatile than a case of nitro on a runaway wagon. If all heck breaks loose, and it probably will, it's your job to help Marshal Courtright figure out who dunnit! So polish your spurs and grab your guns ‘cause the laughs are about to fly like bullets.

SYNOPSIS:
The town is bustling with elections, cattle drives, promises of a railroad, and murder! Horace Grimsby, the wealthiest Cattle Baron in Texas, has been found dead in his office and it’s up to Marshal Jim Courtright to bring the killer to justice.

Did the Mayoral nominee Rooster Montebank get involved in an election scandal? Could the lead reporter for the International Inquisitor, Barbara Wawas, have made her own headlines? Perhaps Buster Beggs, the gentle sheep herder, was bullied by the bull king one too many times. Or was his wife, Emma Grimsby, tired of marriage and looking to get rich quick?

CAST OF CHARACTERS:
Marshal Jim Courtright (Male, Age Range: 30-65) – Jim is the steady rock in this field of crazy characters. This likeable peace officer will have to lay down the law if he’s ever going to figure out who killed Horace Grimsby.
Barbara Wawas (Female, Age Range: 21-65) – Extra! Extra! Barbara has big dreams of being a legitimate reporter, but for now she’ll settle for any story she can get. After all, any publicity is good publicity.
Buster Beggs (Male, Age Range: 21-65) – This tender sheepherder is known for his love of animals and singing what’s on his heart to anyone who will listen. Has Buster’s years in anger management helped prepare him to keep calm during Horace’s Sheep War?

**The roles of Rooster and Emma have been pre-cast.
