OSWEGO – A thunderstorm! The lights go out! An agonized voice! A pistol shot! The lights come up! A blonde in black lace stands over the dead man holding a bloody dagger! The detective examines the body and announces, “He’s been strangled!”
“This is but the opening of one of the most astounding and hilarious murder mysteries ever staged,” said Director Sherri Metz of the Oswego Players. “Every clue is a lulu and the plot twists furiously. The final solution involves the most bizarre motive ever conceived.”
Interested in being part of the excitement? Metz has announced that auditions for Jack Sharkey’s “While the Lights Were Out” will be held at the Frances Marion Brown theatre at the Fort Ontario complex in Oswego on Friday, June 28th 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., and Saturday, June 29th 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
“Auditions will be a cold read from the script,” said Metz. “There are parts for eight women and five men ages 20 to 60. Rehearsals will begin Tuesday, July 23rd and every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday evenings from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
Show dates are September 6,7,8 and 13,14,15.”
