[Capdist-auditions] Inclement weather makeup audition for Dial M. For Murder (Corrected version)

[Jason LaSusa]

Due to icy conditions, we are holding another night of audtiions for Dial M. For Murder at 7:00 Saturday January 28.  It is at 1 Colonial Court in Johnstown, NY at Colonial Little Theater.  
These parts are still available. 
Tony Wendice: 30-40.  English accent.  Intelligent, but insecure.  Former tennis star, now passed his prime. 

Max Halliday: 25-35. American accent.  Healthy looking.  Smart, mystery writer.  Is having an affair with Margot, but must put up with her wishy-washy attitude towards her husband.  Though he is a rival to Tony, he befriends him briefly, but then starts to uncover his scheme. 

Captain Lesgate: 30-45.  English accent.  A thief and con-man,  though reluctant to commit murder.  He attempts to kill Margot, but he gets killed in the process.  A medium-sized part, Lesgate has one scene with a lot of dialogue and another scene with a lot of physical activity, but no dialogue. 

Inspector Hubbard: Not age specific.  English or Scottish accent.  In our version, he will be understated.  While there is the potential for the ending to have a degree of camp, our goal will be to maintain a serious tone and the performance of the actor playing Inspector Hubbard will be key to that goal.

Synopsis

Set in the 1950’s, Tony Wendice plots to murder his wife, Margot, due to an affair she is having with Max Halliday.  The plot involves blackmailing petty criminal Captain Lesgate into doing the deed.  But the plan goes awry and Lesgate gets killed by Margot in the struggle.  Tony then must adjust his plans as Inspector Hubbard investigates the death of Lesgate.
