Just Added: Summer 2010 Show

Shelbyville, IN, April 30, 2010 – Now in its 22^nd year, Shelby County Players is pleased to announce the addition of And Then There Were None to its 2009-2010 season.  Tiffany D. Wilson will direct, and Cindy Leahy will produce, this exciting Agatha Christie murder-mystery, formerly titled Ten Little Indians. Performances are scheduled for August 5-7, 2010, at 7:30pm and August 8, 2010, at 2:00pm at the historic Strand Theatre in Shelbyville, IN. Auditions for the show will be held at the Strand Theatre on June 6 & 7, 2010, from 6:30-8:30pm.

On a private island off the coast of Devon, England, small soldier figurines inexplicably fall from the mantle and break, as each of those present in the house dies one by one at the hands of an unknown assailant.  Above the mantle, a nursery rhyme describes how each of the ten “soldiers” dies until there were none.  Eight guests, who have never met each other, and two house servants, are trapped on the island during a storm, while their host and hostess are mysteriously absent. A strange voice accuses each of the ten of having committed and gotten away with murder, and suddenly, one of the guests collapses, having been poisoned. One down and nine to go!

A veteran Shelby County Players actor and director, Tiffany D. Wilson most recently appeared on stage as Audrey in the hilarious cross-dressing farce, Leading Ladies.  Last fall, Tiffany directed another Agatha Christie murder-mystery, The Unexpected Guest, to sell-out crowds.

Casting needs for this production of And Then There Were None include 8 adult males and 3 adult females. Auditions are open to the public and no prior experience is required.  In addition to actors, Shelby County Players is always looking for volunteers to help behind the scenes in various positions, including stage managers, costume coordinators, light & sound technicians, etc.  Anyone interested in participating is encouraged to attend auditions.
