Auditions - Deathtrap

Red Curtain announces auditions for our upcoming production of "Deathtrap" by Ira Levin, directed by Scott Dittman. Auditions will be held November 15-16, from 6:00-9:00pm. Call backs TBA. The show runs Jan. 20-Feb. 5, 2023, at the Red Curtain Arts Center in Marysville.

Comfortably ensconced in his charming Connecticut home, Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of Broadway thrillers, is struggling to overcome a dry spell which has resulted in a string of failures and a shortage of funds. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from a student in the seminar he has been conducting at a nearby college—a thriller that Sidney recognizes immediately as a potential Broadway smash. Sidney’s plan, devised with his wife’s help, is to offer collaboration to the student for co-credit. Or is it? DEATHTRAP provides twists and turns of devilish cleverness and offers hilariously sudden shocks in such abundance that audiences will be spellbound until the very last moment.  Rated PG-13.

Monologues are not required for auditions. Actors should be prepared to read from the script. Click the link below to download the audition sides.
