Casting Call: 'Murder is a Game'

Somerset Valley Players is holding auditions tonight, Tuesday, for "Murder is a Game," a murder-mystery comedy.

Director Mike Schuller is seeking three men in their 30s or older, and five women: four in their 30s or older, and one in her 20s.

Written by Fred Carmichael "Murder is a Game" follows a down-in-the-dumps husband-and-wife writing team as they spend a weekend on a creepy old movie set, to reignite their creative muse. There, hired actors play parts in a fictional murder mystery for their enjoyment, only to find that sometimes fiction can become reality.

Auditions will be held at 7:30 p.m. today, Jan. 7, at the Somerset Valley Playhouse, 689 Amwell Road, Hillsborough. Performances are scheduled for 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and at 2 p.m. Sundays, March 7-23.
