Greetings from Acme Theater! Acme Theater is proud to announce auditions for Fit to Kill by Victor L. Cahn, directed by Nancy Curran Willis! Audition dates are: Saturday, September 6th at 1pm; and Saturday, September 13th at 3pm ***Sign up for your preferred date by contacting Kathy Campbell at kcampl1@aol.com. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.*** Show Description:Fit to Kill is a masterful black-comedy murder mystery in the tradition of Wait until Dark, Deathtrap, andSleuth - a scheme of strategy, betrayal, and deception. Adrian, a charming but self-indulgent chess master, enjoys a life of luxury thanks to his marriage to Janice, an older, sexy and vibrant woman who has made a fortune as CEO of an exercise empire. The arrival of Amy, a reporter with her own agenda, unleashes a whirlwind of deadly schemes that will keep audiences guessing until the final seconds. A wonderful psychological thriller and a tantalizing game of cat-and-mouse. The director is looking for a tight ensemble of actors capable of playing both the mounting tension and the humor of the play. It's a psychological thriller with lots of twists and turns where characters play an ever evolving game of cat-and-mouse that takes the audience on a wild ride through the Connecticut countryside. Local composer Valerie Forgione is creating a musical underscore for the piece reminiscent of the great thrillers of Alfred Hitchcock.    Characters: Roles for 2 Females (20's to young 50's) and one Male (35+). The ages above are relative as the director is flexible to final casting. The play needs an "older" attractive, successful woman married to a "younger" chess player husband and a "younger" female reporter.  Adrian - Charming, handsome, professional chess player who is kept by his older yet beautiful wife, Janice. Janice - Older wife of Adrian, a wealthy Connecticut CEO of a fitness empire with a history of questionable business ethics. Amy - A young reporter sent out to interview Adrian who inserts herself into their lives. Who is she really and why is she there? Rehearsals: Begin Oct. 6 and will be held 3 nights per week between Monday and Thursday (depending on cast preference) with Sundays added starting Oct. 26. Performances: November 21 - December 13 (Fridays & Saturdays at8pm, Sunday 11/30 at 3pm) If you have any questions, please contact either the producer, Kathy Campbell (kcampl1@aol.com) or the director, Nancy Curran Willis (imadirektor@rcn.com).
