Newton, NC – The Green Room Community Theatre announces auditions for Murder On The Orient Express. Auditions will be held on January 21 & 22, 2024 at 7 pm. You only need to attend one night of auditions. The director of the show is Christian Underwood. The show is being produced by Cargo Transporters, Ken Wilkinson, and Allen Wood.

Murder On The Orient Express is a classic mystery written by Agatha Christie and adapted for the stage by Ken Ludwig. Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed eight times, his door locked from the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer–in case he or she decides to strike again.

There are roles available for 5 men and 5 women ages 16 and older. For a detailed character breakdown visit https://www.thegreenroomtheatre.org/23-24-auditions/. Nothing needs to be prepared ahead of time for this audition. It will consist of cold reads from the script.
