Town Players of Newtown announces auditions for Design For Murder, by George Batson, Tuesday and Wednesday, September 8 and 9, from 7 to 9 each evening.

All the ingredients are there for an intriguing thriller: murder, romance, comedy, a stormy night, and all the usual suspects in a stately mansion.

Auditions will take place at The Little Theatre, 18 Orchard Hill Road in Newtown. Gene Golaszewski of Brookfield will direct.

The production calls for four men and five women. Actors should read the play in advance and be ready to read sides from the script. No appointment is necessary.

All roles are available. Character descriptions are available at newtownplayers.org.

Rehearsals begin the week of September 14, and the production runs Friday and Saturday evenings, October 30 through November 21, with two Sunday matinees.

All questions may be directed to info@newtownplayers.org.

Town Players’ Little Theatre is a community theater, currently in its 80th anniversary season.
