Fridley Community Theater is excited to announce auditions for their 2024 dinner theater show, Agatha Christie’s, The Hollow directed by Andrew Nawrocki.  Auditions will be held at the Fridley District Auditorium, 6000 West Moore Lake Drive, on Monday, November 27th and Tuesday, November 28th from 6:00-8:00 pm.

As provided by the publisher, The Hollow tells how an unhappy game of romantic follow-the-leader explodes into murder one weekend at The Hollow, home of Sir Henry and Lucy Angkatell, arguably Christie’s finest comic grande dame. Dr. Cristow, the Harley Street lothario, is at the center of the trouble when, assembled in one place, we find his dull but devoted wife, Gerda, his mistress and prominent sculptor, Henrietta and his former lover and Hollywood film star, Veronica. Also visiting are Edward and Midge, whose romantic assertions are likewise thrown into the mix. As the list of romantic associations grows so does the list of potential suspects when Cristow is shot dead. Nearly everyone has a motive, but only one of them did the deed. 

Auditions will consist of readings from the script. Please bring a resume and headshot if you have them. And your best British accent! You will fill out an audition form and have your photo taken when you arrive.
