Casting Call: 'The Unexpected Guest'

If you'd like to get started in acting by playing a dead body, Somerset Valley Players has the perfect role for you.

The theater will hold auditions for that and other roles in Agatha Christie's "The Unexpected Guest," at 7 p.m. Oct. 25 and 26 at the theater. Sides will be provided.

The theater is located at 689 Amwell Road, Hillsborough.

Agatha Christie weaves a devious and devilish tale of suspense when a stranger unexpectedly arrives at a Welsh country house to discover a beautiful young woman pointing a gun at a dead man. The question of who killed him may not be as obvious as it seems, as the array of quirky household residents deepens the mystery with cryptic comments and allegations from the past.

Roles are:

Laura Warwick Late 20s - early 30s Kind and caring. Richard Warwick's wife.
Michael.Starkwedder 30s - 40s Rugged outdoor look. Not polished but quick thinker.
Inspector Thomas 30s - 50s Good poker face with dry sarcastic attitude.
Julian Farrar 30s to mid-40s Politician with soldiery aspect.
Miss Bennett 40s-50s Organized, alert, and nosy. Runs the household.
Jan Warwick Late teens - early 20s. Excitable young man with an innocent sweetness about him. Eyes dart and add sly look to him.
Henry Angell 30s-50s Manservant with proper manners but shifty untrusting personality.
Mrs. Warwick 50-plus. Commanding and alert with a strong personality. Richard Warwick's mother.
Sergeant Cadwaller 30s-50s Poetic and soft spoken. Somewhat unobserving.
Richard Warwick 30s-50s Dead. (no lines - great for someone looking to get started in acting)
The show is directed and produced by Michael A. Muller.

Performances begin at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and at 2 p.m. Sundays, Jan. 15-31.
