Here's Looking at You...Dead!!


GreenMan's annual murder mystery dinner theatre production will be holding auditions on Sunday, December 12 at 1 PM and Monday December 13 at 7 PM.

Auditions will be held in Asbury Hall at the First United Methodist Church at 232 S. York in Elmhurst.

Auditions consist of cold readings from the script. Some improvisation may be included in audition.

Appointments are not required to audition.

Roles consist of seven men and six women. Some of the roles will sing, but singing is not required to audition. For those looking for a singing role, a prepared song is acceptable.

Here's Looking at You...Dead! was written by GreenMan board members Carolyn Thomas-Davidoff and Carl Zeitler. The play takes place in Paris in 1942 amidst World War II. Characters and events similar to Casablanca are taken and stood on their heads for often comedic effect.
