Please join us for an initial read-through of Ira Levin's "thriller in two acts".

Anyone is welcome at a reading, regardless of whether they plan on auditioning. Roles that will be cast following Saturday's audition are: • Sidney Bruhl, a playwright who desperately needs a... hit. Male, to play 50 plus - lead • Clifford Anderson, a playwright who has written a sure-thing, to play 25-35 - lead • Myra Bruhl, somewhat controlled-by and married-to Sidney, to play 30-40 - large supporting • Helga Ten Dorp, a Dutch woman with ESP (she has an accent: Dutch or modified German would work), to play over 50 - supporting; great character role • Porter Milgrim, Sidney's agent, to play over 45 - supporting The time is 1978. The place: the home of Sidney Bruhl in Westport, CT - the "gold coast" of Fairfield county. "Deathtrap" will open on September 30 and run for 2 weekends at the Front Street Theater. Bart Shattuck directs. The auditions consist of reading from the script, but Mr. Shattuck will also be happy to hear any short prepared monologues.
