Upcoming Auditions
The Play That Goes Wrong
When: December 15-17
What Time: TBD
Where: TBD
Trevor - The play’s lighting and sound operator. He just wants to get on with the show but is easily distracted and often does things he shouldn’t like interacting with the audience. While he hates acting, when things go sideways, he is forced to act on stage.
Chris - Head of the Cornley Poly Drama Society and plays Inspector Carter in “The Murder at Haversham Manor.” High status clown. He is rigid, uptight, and as the director of the show, everything is extremely important to him.
Jonathan - Plays Charles Haversham in “The Murder at Haversham Manor.” He is a bit bland but sees himself as James Bond. He cares about the play but not as much as others.
Robert - Plays Thomas Collamore in “The Murder at Haversham Manor.” He has a very declamatory style of speaking, is unaware of the others around him, and does not learn from his mistakes. There is a power struggle between him and Chriss to be the president of the Cornley Poly Drama Society.
Dennis - Plays the butler, Perkins, in “The Murder at Haversham Manor.” He has no real interest in being involved with the show, he just wants friends. Laughter from the audience is agony for him.
Max - Plays Cecil Haversham in “The Murder at Haversham Manor.” He has never been on stage before, so he doesn’t think things through, just looks for approval. Childlike and naive in nature.
Sandra - Plays Florence Colleymoore “The Murder at Haversham Manor.” She is vain and has a huge ego. Has ambitions to go to Hollywood and will hurt anyone standing in the way of what she wants but is smart enough to stay on the good side of someone who can help her.
Annie - The stage manager. She has the biggest journey of any of the characters. When Sandra is indisposed, Annie, who cannot bear to be on stage, must step in. While she is initially terrified by acting, she is willing to kill for it by the end of the play.

Synopsis: The Play That Goes Wrong begins before the curtain has even been raised, as the audience is present while the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society prepare to stage their new production – the 1920s murder mystery 'Murder at Haversham Manor'. However, the set is not yet complete and there is no time to finish but of course, the show must go on!
With a murder (and a moving corpse) established from the beginning, the murder mystery gets into full flow. However, the props start to disappear, actors go missing, and the set begins to collapse around, and often on, the cast. Mayhem ensues, the acting gets worse, and the set becomes increasingly dangerous, but the company struggles on regardless. The question is whether any of the cast and crew will remain standing, or conscious, by the final curtain?!
