SANTA PAULA THEATER CENTER PRESENTS AUDITIONS FOR
THE PARODY BASKERVILLE : A SHERLOCK HOLMES MYSTERY by Ken Ludwig
Santa Paula Theater Center announces auditions Saturday September 7th 11 AM - 1 PM, Monday September 9th 7 PM - 9 PM, and callbacks Tuesday September 10th 7 PM - 9 PM for their last Main Stage show of Season 2024. Auditions will be held at The Santa Paula Center. 125 S. Seventh Street, Santa Paula, CA 93060. Phone # 805-525-4645. www.santapaulatheatercenter.org.
BASKERVILLE : A SHERLOCK HOLMES MYSTERY will play from November 8th - December 15th, 2024 with performances on Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:00 PM and Sunday Matinees at 2:30 PM. No appointments necessary, cold readings from the script. This is a non-equity production. THERE IS NO PAY. Taylor Kasch directs and inquiries about auditions and play may be directed to him at [email protected]. Get your deerstalker cap on — the play’s afoot! Comedic genius Ken Ludwig transforms Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic The Hound of the Baskervilles into a murderously funny
adventure. Sherlock Holmes is on the case. The male heirs of the Baskerville line are being dispatched one by one. To find their ingenious killer, Holmes and Watson must brave the desolate moors before a family curse dooms its newest heir. Watch as our intrepid investigators try to escape a dizzying web of clues, silly accents, disguises, and deceit as five actors deftly portray more than forty characters. Does a wild hellhound prowl the moors of Devonshire? Can our heroes discover the truth in time? Join the fun and see how far from elementary the truth can be. “A madcap sendup of what you might hold dear about that Doyle classic.” – DC Theatre Scene.
“The joy in watching [the] witty new play Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery is not in solving the crime but in the plethora of wildly imaginative characters you meet along the way. By dispensing with British formality, Ken Ludwig has given us a play that is ingeniously funny and will keep you guessing until the curtain call." – Broadway World.
“Written by Tony-winning playwright Ken Ludwig, the new play turns one of Holmes’ most famous mysteries, The Hound of the Baskervilles, on its head. Instead of a heady whodunit, this production is a fast-paced comedy." – Washington City Paper.
“With this Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery, the chase is on and with much joy... [There's] a freshness to this particular Holmesian world.” – DC Metro Theatre Arts
The following roles available are open to all ethnicities:
SHERLOCK HOLMES (Male 30s – 50s). Highly intelligent, confident, charismatic, quick-witted, obsessive.
Thinks very highly of his close friend Watson. A sophisticated mind who savors adventure and an intriguing mystery and has a manic gleam of mischief in his eyes. A mind that works overtime.
DOCTOR WATSON (Male 30s - 50s). Smart, grounded, and full of heart and wonder, lives to have adventures and assist his close friend Holmes. We see the play through his eyes. The heart and soul of the play.
Plus 5 ACTORS that play multiple roles. Must show great versatility and nimbleness physically and vocally
(including multiple dialects).
From painting workshops to concerts to magic shows to great plays – there always something happening at the Santa Paula Theater Center! For more information about Santa Paula Theater Center, visit our website at www.santapaulatheatercenter.org.
Stay tuned for Seaon 2025! The wearing of masks while inside the Santa Paula Theater Center is optional, though highly encouraged for the safety of our patrons, actors, and staff.
