Special to West Hawaii Today
Waimea Community Theatre announces an open call to audition for “The Hollow,” an Agatha Christie murder mystery. Audition dates are 6 p.m. Saturday and 4 p.m. Sunday.
Roles call for 12 Adults: six men and six women of all types ranging in age from 20 to 70. Performances for “The Hollow” will be two weekends, Feb. 24 through 26 and March 2 through 4 at Parker School Theatre.
“The play involves an unhappy game of romantic follow-the-leader that explodes into murder one weekend at The Hollow, home of Sir Henry and Lucy Angkatell. Dr. Cristow is at the center of the trouble: Henrietta, his mistress; Veronica, his ex-mistress; and Gerda, his wife, are all at The Hollow. Also visiting are Edward (who is in love with Henrietta) and Midge (who loves Edward). Veronica ardently desires to marry Cristow and succeeds in reopening their affair but is unable to get him to divorce his wife. Veronica unwisely states that if she cannot have him, no one shall. Within five minutes Cristow is dead. Nearly everyone has a motive and most had the opportunity. Enter Inspector Colquhoun and Sergeant Penny to solve the crime.” (Samuel French, Inc.)
Auditions will be held at Waimea Community Theatre’s office and rehearsal space, located above Tropical Dreams Ice Cream, 66-1250 Lalamilo Farm Road in Waimea.
If unable to attend the auditions contact the director, Felicity Johnson, at 938-4603. Production volunteers are also needed, including ushers, prop assistants, costumes, stage crew, lighting, sound, set construction or publicity. Contact the director if interested.
