Menomonie Theater Guild is THRILLED to announce auditions on August 19th and 20th, 2024 from 7:00-9:00 p.m. at the MTG studio building for the first show of our 2024-25 season, Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. Performances will be held on the weekends of October 11-13, and 18-20, 2024, at the Mabel Tainter Theater.
The show will be directed for MTG by the talented Russell Slack, who led the stellar cast of last season's Murder on the Orient Express, recognized by Volume One as one of 2023's best plays in the Chippewa Valley. Russell comes to Menomonie Theater Guild with extensive theatrical experience, and this is his 51st production with involvement in all areas of theater including acting, directing, and technical production.
And Then There Were None contains all of the glamour, intrigue, and suspense we have come to expect of an Agatha Christie show and is a perfect fit for our October spooky season production. Ten strangers are summoned to a remote island somewhere north of here. The only thing that the guests have in common is a wicked past they're unwilling to reveal and a secret that will seal their fate. As the weather turns brutal, and the group is cut off from civilization, the death begins as one by one these strangers are murdered according to the lines of a sinister nursery rhyme.
While the show is intense, auditions will be low-key and fun, including interactive games and readings from the script. All are welcome and the atmosphere will be relaxed and supportive. Whether you are a stage veteran or have audition for a play on your bucket list - we would LOVE to see YOU at auditions!
